[edit] The Magwayen Name
The name Magwayen was derived from a Philippine history book. He was a deity for the "other" world, inspiring present-day scholars to conquer the world of stage, literature and performing arts.

Throughout the years, Magwayen has been renowned fro producing original stage productions – from the epic musical "Bidasari" and "Ang Prinsipe ng Marulaya" and comedy "Señorita Pretenciosa", to the darker dramas "Casa Ligaya" and "Trajedia La Vida". It is responsible for rejuvenating the theater community in PLM.
[edit] Performing Arts Group
Magwayen is proud of its performing arts division for creating edgy and riveting production numbers. Every performance was a guaranteed hit inspiring the group to produce concerts featuring the University’s home grown talents-the legendary Incunabula, jam-packed MMI, the celebrated Chill out at WOW and the Artist Fest 2006 were among the notable student concerts produced by the guild.
[edit] The Literary Division
Aside from producing its own play, Magwayen has also been writing for the guild’s productions. Students found a new way of speaking their hearts and soul through a variety of literary masterpieces.
Some of their productions are "Bidasari", "Señorita Pretenciosa", "Hawla", "Tatlong Mukha", "Ang Principe ng Marulaya", "Live Act" (comedy anthology, now with its 3rd installment), "Indrapura," and many more. This proves that the guild has proven the artistry of PLM students in the arts.
