Study Notes

The Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan logo is a stylized representation of the human form used in traditional cloth.
The logo features the motif 'Manlilikha ng Bayan' written in ancient Filipino script, which was extensively used throughout the Philippines at the time of Western contact in the sixteenth century.

The Gamaba was formally launched in 1989 with the screening of artists of Filipino crafts in the municipal, provincial, and regional levels.
In 1990, Senate Bill No. 240 proposed the bearers of traditional art with a Presidential award, recognizing them as National Living Treasures.

The Gamaba was institutionalized through Republic Act No. 7355 on April 3, 1992.
The Act is also known as the "Manlilikha ng Bayan Act".

The purpose of Gamaba is to recognize and award traditional Filipino artists who have made significant contributions to the preservation and promotion of local art and traditions.
