Remembering the life and works of National Artist Ramon L. Muzones on his 32nd death anniversary.

Ramon Muzones was a Hiligaynon poet, essayist, short story writer, critic, grammarian, editor, lexicographer, and novelist who authored an unprecedented sixty-one completed novels. Hailed by his peers as the longest reigning (1938-1972) among the “Three Kings of the Hiligaynon Novel”, he brought about radical changes while ushering in modernism. In the span of his fifty-three years career, he not only extended with remarkable versatility and inventiveness, scope and style of the Hiligaynon novel, but he also enriched Hiligaynon literature’s dramatis personae. Among his notable works are ‘Shri-Bishaya’, ‘Si Tamblot, Malala nga Gutom’, and ‘Babae Batuk sa Kalibutan’.

The National Commission for Culture and the Arts announces to the nation the passing of Manlilikha ng Bayan Federico Caballero, recipient of 2000 Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (National Living Treasures Award) for Panay Bukidnon Epic Chanting, at the age of 88.

Federico Caballero was a distinguished Panay-Bukidnon epic chanter from Garangan, Calinog, Iloilo. Affectionately known as Nong Pedring, he was honored with the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan in 2000. Throughout his life, he dedicated himself to the practice, transmission and documentation of the oral literature of his community, particularly the Sugidanon, which comprises ten epics.

These ten epics, which are presented in ligbok, a poetic language intricately linked to Kiniray-a, yet no longer spoken, represent an expansive folklore that demands unwavering commitment and exceptional talent to master. Alongside scholars, artists, and cultural advocates, he meticulously reconstructed the nearly lost elements of this oral heritage.

For numerous decades, Nong Pedring consistently traveled from his residence in the mountainous region of Calinog to the area of Iloilo City, diligently contributing to the efforts of promoting the Sugidanon tradition that extended over many years.

His remains will lie in state in Purok 2, Barangay Garangan, Calinog, Iloilo. The arrangements for his wake and state funeral will be announced in due course, in consultation with his family.

Today is the 96th birth anniversary of National Artist Leandro V. Locsin

Leandro V. Locsin reshaped the urban landscape with a distinctive architecture reflective of Philippine Art and Culture. He believes that the true Philippine Architecture is “the product of two great streams of culture, the oriental and the occidental… to produce a new object of profound harmony.” It is this synthesis that underlies all his works, with his achievements in concrete reflecting his mastery of space and scale.
Every Locsin Building is an original, and identifiable as a Locsin with themes of floating volume, the duality of light and heavy, buoyant and massive running in his major works. From 1955 to 1994, Locsin has produced 75 residences and 88 buildings, including 11 churches and chapels, 23 public buildings, 48 commercial buildings, six major hotels, and an airport terminal building.

Pagbati sa ika-82 na kaarawan ni Manlilikha ng Bayan Alonzo Saclag

Alonzo Saclag
Kalinga
2000 Manlilikha ng Bayan for Traditional Performing Arts

Alonzo Saclag is a Kalinga master of dance and the performing arts, he has made it his mission to create and nurture a greater consciousness and appreciation of Kalinga culture, among the Kalinga themselves and beyond their borders. As a young boy in Lubugan, Alonzo Saclag found endless fascination in the sights and sounds of day-to-day village life and ritual. According to his son, he received no instructions, formal or otherwise, in the performing arts. Yet he mastered not only the Kalinga musical instruments but also the dance patterns and movements associated with his people’s rituals.

To guarantee that his knowledge in the performing arts is passed on to others, he formed the Kalinga Budong Dance Troupe. He takes the young men and women who come to him under his charge and they learn about the music and dance of their ancestors. While many expressed genuine desire to represent and promote Kalinga performing arts, he admits that a handful have other, more personal motives. Because the troupe occasionally goes on tour, joining it is perceived by some as a chance to see places other than the mountains they call home.

𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐒𝐀𝐊 𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐓 𝐀 𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐘𝐌𝐎, 𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐀 𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐍!

Ating ipinagdiriwang ang ika-100 kaarawan ni Manlilikha ng Bayan Magdalena Gamayo.

Si Magdalena Gamayo ay ipinanganak noong ika-13 ng Agosto 1924 sa Pinili Ilocos Norte. Isa sa mga nasa pangunang hanay sa pagpapanatili at pagpapayaman ng tradisyon ng paghabi ng mga Ilocano. Siya ay natutong maghabi ng abel mula sa edad na 16 sa pamamagitan ng pag-aaral ng mga paraan ng kanyang tiyahin sa kaalamang ipinasa ng mga henerasyon ng kababaihan sa pamilya. Ang paghabi ay naging lakas niya sa kabila ng mga pagsubok sa buhay na nagdulot ng katatagan ng loob at dedikasyon na kaniyang iniaalay sa bawat habi na kanyang nililikha.

Nakilala sa pamamagitan ng kanyang likas na talento at atensyon sa detalye, si Magdalena Gamayo ay naging natatanging manghahabi nang walang pormal na pagsasanay. Pinagkadalubhasaan niya ang mga kumplikadong disenyo at pamamaraan ng paghahabi, na makikita sa kaniyang mga abel gaya na lamang ng disenyong "Inubon a Sabong". Ang kanyang dedikasyon sa pagpapayaman at pagpapaunlad sa tradisyon ng paghabi ay nagbunsod sa kanya upang magturo sa mga miyembro ng kaniyang komunidad, simula sa mga kabataan ng kanyang bayan at kalaunan kasama na rin ang mga nasa labas ng Ilocos, na nagbunga sa pagpapatuloy ng tradisyon ng paghabi para sa mga susunod na henerasyon.

Noong 2012, pinarangalan si MB Gamayo bilang Manlilikha ng Bayan sa bisa ng Proklamasyon ng Pangulo ng Pilipinas bilang 474, s. 2012. Ipinagdiriwang ng pagkilalang ito ang kanyang dedikasyon at husay sa paghahabi ng Inabel, gayundin ang kanyang tungkulin sa pagpapasa ng mga tradisyong ito. Ang kanyang dediksyon ay naglalaman ng pangangalaga sa kultura, na nagbibigay-diin sa kaniyang disiplina at pangako sa pagpapanatili ng mga kultura ng mga Ilocano. Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga pagsisikap, pinangangalagaan niya ang napakahalagang pamana ng Inabel para sa mga susunod na henerasyon, na nagpapayaman sa pamana ng komunidad at sa pambansang hibla ng kultura.
