THE NATIONAL ARTIST OF THE PHILIPPINES

The Artist and the Contemporary Arts

According to esteemed critic and scholar Dr. Nicanor Tiongson, there is a vital role
played by contemporary artists in “creating art that will contribute to social change by
enlightening viewers and audiences about the nature and causes of the problems they face as
Filipinos today.” It is with this “enlightenment” that gives the artists responsibility in their craft.
Dr. Tiongson challenges the artist to create art that has social and political relevance, a kind of
art that will contribute to an awareness of present realities and conditions of society.

An Artist for the Nation

In 1972, the Philippines named its first national artist-world-class painter Fernando
Amorsolo. The national artist award is a great honor given to the Filipino whose life and works
have contributed to the advancement of the country’s arts and letters.
The national artist then became part of the prestigious roster of the Order of National
Artists. NCCA and CCP jointly administer the nomination and selection of the chosen exemplary
artists, who are conferred by the President of the country. In 1972, Presidential Proclamation No.
1001, s. 1972 created and established “the Award and Decoration of National Artist." This law
enabled the government “to give appropriate recognition and prestige to Filipinos who have
distinguished themselves and made outstanding contributions to Philippine arts and letters.”
What does it take to be a National Artist?
The National Artist award is the country’s highest honor given to an artist who, according

THE NATIONAL ARTIST OF THE PHILIPPINES FOR LITERATURE

Philippine literature is a rich group of literary works that has developed along with the
country’s history. Long before the arrival of Western influences, early Filipinos already have
stories to tell to younger generations.
The Philippines has a rich collection of fables, legends, and myths from different regions.
The babaylan, the early healers, used chants to please the supernatural beings or spirits to bestow
good health and fortune in the home and the fields. When the Spaniards came in the 16th
century, they introduced Christianity to the islands and used literature to colonize the country.
During the time of the Americans, English was introduced and Filipinos have grown adept in the
usage of the language. Today, contemporary writers are expanding the horizon of reality and

6
imagination in their works to reflect the Filipino spirit. Philippine literature is diverse, although
some of the most famous literary works focus on

the country’s postcolonial heritage, politics, and modern traditions. Filipinos must recognize and
give importance to the people behind the development of Philippine literature.
Let’s take a look at the country’s most talented and most influential writers who have
received the greatest honor for their significant contributions to Philippine literature.

member of The Torres Torch, the school organ. While still a student at Florentino Torres High
School, he wrote his first story, “The Man Who Would Be Poe.” Arcellana is considered as one
of the pioneers of modem Filipino short story in English. His short stories are written in lyrical
prose-poetic form. Arcellana’s exceptional works in fiction include “Death in a Factory,” “A
Clown Remembers,” and “Divided by Two.” Some of his poems include “The Other Woman,”

THE NATIONAL ARTIST OF THE PHILIPPINES FOR ARCHITECHTURE

Philippine architecture is unique in that it reflects its cultural heritage and the demand to
adapt to its environment. Surveying the architectural styles in the country reveals varieties that

urbanized areas.
The architecture of the Philippines reflects its history and tradition. Churches and
mosques across the country, as well as buildings in the metropolitan and rural areas have risen in
response to the growing demands of the Filipinos. Moreover, the country is home to the best
preserved planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. During 300 years of Spanish colonization,
architecture in the country was subjected to Spanish inf1uences. The Frials built several grand
churches all over the country that continue to stand today.
But who are the brilliant minds behind the famous buildings and grand skyscrapers in the
country that you love? There are many Filipino’ architects who normally do not get the

C. LESSON CONTENT:

PHILIPPINE POPULAR ART

Philippine popular art is the art that is followed or accepted by the Filipino masses,
Looking at Philippine society, most of the art forms that the general public consumes and
advocates are those that are for entertainment such ~ ' x as songs, dances, telenovelas, and
movies. Philippine popular art is around you: listen to the chart topping "‘music hit, watch the
latest dance craze, or view several box-office hits.
Literature
The komiks is considered to be one of the most read forms of literature in the country. Serialized
komiks have brought to life memorable characters of heroism and goodness in the works of Mars
Ravelo’s Darna, Captain Barbell, and Dyesebel, and Carlo J . Caparas’s Ang Panday. For many
decades, these iconic characters have been portrayed in television and film. Comic strips have
also entertained many Filipinos in years with the humor and wit of Pol Medina’s Pugaa' Baboy
and Washington Young’s Pupung. Because Filipinos are romantic at heart, romance novels in
paperback editions have proliferated in bookstores and have acquired many readers. Recently,
some love stories from these paperbacks published by local companies such as Precious Hearts
have been adapted as a TV series. These stories show how romantic Filipinos are. The Internet
publishing site Wattpad has recently been a platform for aspiring Filipino writers to publish and
for readers to read new materials. Some stories Published in Wattpad have been turned into
movies and TV series such as Ang Diary ng Panget, She Dating the Gangster, and Talk Back and
You ’re Dead.
Music
Original Pinoy Music, or 0PM, is a strong force in Philippine arts. The musical talent and
prowess of Filipinos shine bright in the country’s local music scene. From the traditional harana,
0PM is still dominated by balladeers that show our romantic inclinations. WelI-known
performers include Gary V., Martin Nievera, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez, and Sarah
Geronimo. Filipino pop music has tried to mimic foreign musical genre. Examples of these
artists include rock bands such as Rivermaya and Eraserheads, and rappers such as Francis M.,
who pioneered the musical genre in the country, Andrew E., and Gloc 9. Filipino artists have
made RnB, country, and even bossa nova part of Filipino music.

Dance

19
 Dance is an important social activity in the Filipino community. A barangay or town
flesta is not complete without a morning parade or caracol and the evening bayle. Although
dance crazes in the country have foreign origins such as the “Macarena” or the “Gangnam
Style”,-Filipinos have still invented dance moves that were repeated in every comer, such as the
Spaghetti Dance and “Otso-otso." Filipino dance groups such as the Philippine All Stars Dance
Crew, Jabbawockeez, and El Gamma Penumbra have made Filipino talent known worldwide.
Movies
The Filipino movie industry is still striving despite the dominance of Holly wood produced
blockbusters. At present, Filipino movies being produced today are romantic comedies
(romcoms), Comedies, and horror films. Rom-coms are staples featuring popular love teams.
Although the stories are patterned after existing formulas of boy meets girl, rich girl falls in love
with poor boy, or the love triangle, fans still patronize these films. Slapstick comedies of ' Vice
Ganda, Ai Ai Delas Alas, and Vic Sotto still ' make movie goers laugh. Horror movies, such as
the Shake, Rattle, and Roll series, still manage to entertain the Filipino audience.

THE PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENT CINEMA

The year 1977 was the birth of Philippine independent cinema. Baguio-based filmmaker
Kidlat Tahimik won the International Critics’ Prize in the Berlin Film Festival for his film

21
 Mababangong Bangungot (Perfumed Nightmare). The Experimental Cinema of the Philippines
(ECP) was created through Executive Order No. 770 in 1982. Though this government-owned
incorporation was created to promote the local film Industry in general, it was instrumental in the
funding of art films such as Peque Gallaga’s Oro, Plata, Mata and Ishmael Bemal’s Himala. The
ECP, however, was dissolved in 1986. Independent or indie films- are a break from the
mainstream, highly budgeted productions of established movie production companies such as
Star Cinema and Regal Films. Independent films are also characterized by their unconventional
narratives, experimentation on style and technique, and their artful treatment of material. The
demand of independent films to be an unconventional genre of film pushes filmmakers and
artists to innovate and push the film making practice into greater heights. Today, more indie
“'films are being produced than mainstream movies.
Award Winning Films
Many Filipino-made indie films have been harvesting worldwide recognition. The films
of Brillante Mendoza, for example, have been continually making waves in various international
film festivals: Masahista (15th Brisbane International Film Festival, where it won the Interfaith
A“ ard), Tirador (Berlin Film Festival, where it won the Caligari Film Prize), Serbis (2008
Bangkok International F ilm Festival, where it won the Golden Kinnaree), Kinatay (2009 Cannes
Film Festival, where it won the Prix de la mise en scéne), Thy Womb (69th Venice Film
Festival, where it won the La Navicella Venezia Cinema Award). As a filmmaker, Mendoza has
been described by critics as “a neorealist, and his films depict the lives of ordinary people in
extraordinary situations, set against the universal struggle of life, love and death.” In 2014, the
French government awarded Mendoza the Chevalier dans I ’Ordre des Arts e! Lettres (Knight of
the Order of Arts and Letters) for his contributions in world cinema.
Other award-winning film directors are AdolfAlix for Donsol (Special Jury Prize, Fort
Lauderdale lntemational Film Festival and the Asian Marine Film Festival), Lav Diaz for
Melancholia (Orizzonti Grand Prize at the 65th Venice lntemational Film F estival), and Dante
Nico Garcia for Planing (Best Director, Asian Festival of First Film Awards). Other notable indie
filmmakers are Jerrold Tarog, Jeffrey Jeturian, Mark Meily, and Chris Martinez.
Film Festival
Perhaps the popularity and success of Philippine independent cinema also lies in the Flourishing
0f film festivals in the country. These mm festivals provide seed money for writers and directors
to begin with production. Also, these film festivals are good marketing avenues for filmmakers
to let the general public experience their works. Major film festivals sponsored by the Philippine
government include the Metro Manila Film Festival, the Film Development Council of the
Philippines’ Sineng Pambansa, Cinema Rehiyon, the CCP’s Cinemalaya, privately initiated film
festivals such as Cinema One Originals and CineFilipino. These film festivals allow the public to
patronize indie films, which would otherwise not be shown in commercial theaters. Many
colleges and universities have started integrating filmmaking as a field of specialization. With
the rise and popularity of digital cameras today, almost anyone can make a film. Many young
Filipinos have used portable recording devices in o the convenience of their own homes and
communities to make films.

INTEGRATIVE ART AS APPLIED IN CONTEMPORARY ART

The Pennsylvania State University defines integrative art as a multidisciplinary approach
in the study of art using “vocational, scholarly, and creative interest in the arts and design"
within and outside the scope of traditional art practice. Integrative art is a learning method that
utilizes the fine and performing arts as principal’ pathways to education. It is quite different from
conventional arts education because the former use both art disciplines and traditional subjects as
elements of learning.
The objective of integrative an is to expand people’s understanding of a general subject
area, while simultaneously developing a larger extent of understanding and appreciation of both
the fine and performing arts. Here are several ways on how integrative art can be applied in
contemporary or modern art. 
New Media Art

26
 This art form covers created integrative artful masterpieces with new media technologies
such as digital art, video games, robotics, and virtual arts. The interconnectivity of the Internet,
including the growing competition between commercial and business interests, governmental
interests, and public interests that gave birth to the Web today, has inspired many artists that
make new media art. Tengal Drilon is one of these new media Filipino artists today. He is a
media artist who merges various fields and disciplines by playing multiple roles as curator
‘producer, filmmaker, and musician-composer. He is the founder of Sabaw Media Art Kitchen, a
nonprofit organization that focuses on connection and exchange among new media artists in
Southeast Asia. His works include Sinemusikalye (a street concert with a 50~feet AV
installation), Transmissions Gangan (a collaboration with American composer, pianist, and
electronic musician Chris Brown in an interactive AV performance aired in five radio channels),
EARZEYE (a moving image and cutting-edge music festival), ASEUM09: Asia-Europe New
Media Art Symposium, and Fete dela Wasaque (an outerfringe arts festival).
Digital Storytelling
Digital storytelling is relatively a new term, which refers to the new practice of ordinary
people who use digital tools to articulate or tell their story. University of Houston Professor
Bernard Robin describes the contents and texts of digital stories: “topics that are used in digital
storytelling range from personal tales to the recounting of historical events from exploring life in
one’s own community to the search for life in other comers of the universe, and literally,
everything in between.” These texts can provide the learners with global perspectives. Stories in
digital formats are compelling and engaging. They can also be interactive. This type of
storytelling uses still imagery, moving imagery, sound, and text.
Using Music and Performance Arts in Education
Today, educators are becoming more and more creative in teaching difficult subjects to
their students. Nowadays, educators incorporate the arts in teaching math, science, history, and
other core subjects. Edutopia contributor Fran Smith describes the effect of incorporating an in
education as “associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking and
verbal skill.” This revolutionary perspective allows educators to link art in teaching, as it
includes the use of keyboard skills and music in developing the spatial and spatial-temporal
reasoning skills. These skills are essential to understanding mathematical concepts and patterns.
