The Kundiman Party, written by Floy Quintos, and directed by Dexter Santos, was Shamaine Centenera Buencamino’s stage comeback after almost 19 years of film and television assignments. Says Shamaine: “Art is political because it is not created in a vacuum… I love The Kundiman Party! It made me ask questions myself.”After The Kundiman Party, Shamaine hied off to London for a five-day dramatherapy workshop. Ever since the Julia Buencamino Project was established, Shamaine (with kids and husband Nonie Buencamino) has advocated the prevention of teenage suicides and parents’ unshackling themselves from the grip of guilt. Shamaine and Nonie, who also worked together at the ASEAN Festival, became friends for five years until Nonie chose Shamaine over his then current girlfriend.
