"The true test of leadership is how well you function in a crisis."

from the perspective of Direk Pabs.

(A YFP Tanghal-Dangal 2019 version 2 Thread)

"I did not abandon them. I think they already know what to do. My purpose as a theatrical director is to guide them all the way to the performance."

But I didn't tell them that I'll be with them throughout the recital show.

When I left my post on Sequence 4B of Uchi due to common errors that we've corrected already on the rehearsals, I just lay down my tired body due to stress and frustration.

Walang iniwanan. I've stayed there with them. My presence is still with them until the end of the show. It is just like my frustration and disappointment came loose and I need to work on with my overwhelming emotions. I can't be productive with that kind of mindset anymore.

I made my effort to pick all the pieces to build the big picture. It is up to the partner school to maintain integrity and address problems in their end. Nevertheless, I did my best to lead my production, and I have nothing to compromise.

It's lesson learned. No blaming on my part. The school must know and acknowledge their shortcomings and not to place the entire blame on others. They know and aware that they're at fault this time.

"Sulyap" is an eye-opener to execute Memorandum of Agreements with partner schools to proper determine their roles and responsibilities, and to cut all unnecessarybexpenses that will be an hindrance to the productivity of the project.

To my artists, I did my best to stage a good show, and all of you know that. Don't be blinded by the mishaps of your teachers and school administration. I don't blame you, but you must be able to balance things in favor to all sides, because you are only in favor of your school.

I know that I need to move on with my life, as well as to all of you. Like Sir Jasson have told you, learn all the lessons in our experience. Cherish all the good memories we've had. I am treasuring those happy moments we had with each other as we progress with our own paths.

I know that I did my best. Yes. I know my worth, and everyone knows who did not function and helped during our project. I am not dropping names, but we know who is really at fault here. And I know that I am not that one at fault.

I'm leaving this issue on my back.

I did function well on the time of the crisis. I hope that we're clear on that.
