Study Notes

Philippine Traditional Arts and Folk Crafts

Philippine traditional arts and folk crafts are exquisite testimonies to the country's national cultural wealth and heritage.
The distinction between traditional craft and high art has led to a perception of high artists as masters, geniuses, seers, and path breakers, while folk artists have remained anonymous and obscure.

The National Living Treasures Award (GAMABA)

The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) launched the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA) or National Living Treasures Award in 1992.
The award aims to identify the finest folk artists of the land who are dedicated to their craft, using skills and indigenous methods and materials.
Apart from honoring traditional artisans and culture bearers, the award aims to preserve and revitalize traditional arts threatened with extinction.

Origin of the GAMABA

The origin of the GAMABA can be traced to the National Folk Artist Award, established by the Rotary Club of Makati-Ayala in 1987.
In 1988, an advisory group was formed to oversee the selection process, comprising representatives from government and private organizations, including the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the Department of Trade and Industry, and the Department of Education, Culture and Sports.
