PHSA MAQUILING BALLET

Jarmonya is a batch name of students who entered PHSA in school year 2012-2013. The students themselves chose the national artists that would represent their batch and they chose Jose T. Joya and Severino Montano.

​

Jose T. Joya (1931-1996), a painter and multimedia artist, pioneered modern and abstract expressionism in the Philippines. Severino Montano (1915-1980), a playwright, director, actor and theater organizer, institutionalized "legitimate theater" in the Philippines.

​

The batch name, Jarmonya, combination of Joya and Montano, simply means unity and concord. It is said that those who carry this name have deep inner desire to lead, organize, supervise, and to achieve status. It is hoped that the batch becomes the nation's next leaders in the different art fields.

​

Jarmonya is the 39th batch of the PHSA.
