Kahayag Community Dance and Theater Co's., present Artistic Director, Cyrus Nobleza, found lifeless due to carjack arrest at his pad in Koronadal City.
Being one of the culture and arts office staff in the province of South Cotabato, Cyrus assumed the Artistic Direction of Kahayag on 2005. He is instrumental to the groups participation to the Wi-Fi Body: Contemporary Dance Festival at the Cultural Center of the Philippines on June of 2006. His great courage of pushing the group's artistic and cultural pursuit was an inspiring contribution to the development of contemporary dance in Mindanao. His dance creations with Kahayag and his winning pieces in the Mindanao Modern Dance Competition since 2002-2006 gained him recognition and respect as choreographer from icons/personalities of Philippine dance community. His Cyber Crew Dancer (an all-male dance group he established) became popular, boosting their members to continue hone their craft as one of the respected contemporary dance groups in the region.
More than a dance artist, Cyrus is one of the respectable cultural workers in the province. He prefer to work as culture and art staff of the province in exchange of the great opportunities waiting for a top-notched registered nurse like him abroad.
May this fellow will continue to inspire us in our continuing pursuit for artistic excellence and endeavor in shaping the Filipino culture and changing the lives of the people for the better in our own way as artists and cultural workers.
Cy, you will always be remembered...

indeed, Cyrus is an artist. I have seen a number of performances by Kahayag and Cyber Crew and they were great. He is one great loss for the advocates of culture and arts in the province.
