About Me
- Maritina Romulo
- Manila
- Born in the Philippines and raised in several countries, Maritina--Maria Cristina M.Romulo--finds that it 'fits' to live a life in the arts that echo the words of Mark Twain: " Dance like nobody's watching, Love like you've never been hurt, Sing like nobody's listening, Live like it's heaven on earth." She was last seen at the Philippine Consulate and United Nations' stage in New York City in a charming and highly entertaining song and dance number; and prior to that she played the lead role in a film portraying a hardened political prisoner who earns her freedom at the expense of her soul. The journey from light to heavy, and through all the 'gray' colors in between that spectrum,is a driving passion for her. As she strives to embody every character, she stays true and helpless to the music of her own unique humanity.

I AM OVER IT.
V-MEN are the men who rise with women in advocating women's rights and an end to all forms of violence against women.
Acuña is known for acting in many independent films and theater productions including the film "Batang West Side", stage production "God of Carnage" (opposite Lea Salonga), and TV shows "The Kitchen Musical" (for which he was nominated at the International Emmy's) and the popular ABS-CBN-2 soap "Princess and I".
He is also a vocal campaigner against VAW for the One Billion Rising campaign, and will be among the V-Men who will be rising and dancing in Morato Ave, QC on February 14. Join Art, Maritina and many women and men as we Strike, Dance and Rise on February 14!
