GAWAD SA MANLILIKHA NG
BAYAN
(GAMABA )
What is the GAMABA
-Garcia has been Manlilikha ng Bayan (“one
who creates for the country”) or National
Living Treasure.
12 individuals have received this
distinction. From 1992-2012 (Republic
Act No. 7355)
The National Commission for Culture and
the Arts (NCCA) give the highest awards
for culture and arts, including the National
Artist Award.

The said award and the GAMABA


recognize the outstanding work of artists
in the Philippines.
Traditional art is based on indigenous
people’s culture that are largely honed by
oral tradition.

A distinct feature of the GAMABA is its


emphasis on intangible and communal
aspects of art production.

The Production Process and the changing
environment

1. Tourism- land areas are converted into sites for


tourist consumption, ecological domains become
more susceptible to damage with the combined
forces of natural disasters and tourist mobility.
Dances and rituals are staged for an external
audience rather than for the community’s
2. Mining and infrastructure projects- The construction
of dams and the establishment of oil and mining
companies evict people from their dwellings and
severely damage the environment. Deprived of the
bounty of land, indigenous groups are prompted to
seek short-term employment from these industries in
order to make ends meet in a money economy.
3. Militarization- The insecurity and tensions
brought about by militarized zones arrest the
people’s ability to create art. It prevents people
from having communal gatherings, where
exchanges and passing of knowledge can take
place.
4. Christianization- The influence of
Christianity and the conversion of the natives
to foreign religion have caused members of he
community to forsake their indigenous rituals
and traditions.
