CONCEPT NOTES:
The Pambansang Alagad ng Sining ng Pilipinas or the National Artist of the Philippines is the
highest recognition the Philippine government can give to a person of the arts. The award was created
through Presidential Proclamation No. 1001, s. 1972 to give recognition and respect to the citizens who
have given outstanding contribution to Philippine arts.
The awardees of the prestigious award represent the Philippines’ highest ideals in the field of
humanities and the arts. It covers the following categories: architecture and the allied arts, dance, film and
broadcast arts, literature, music, theater, and visual arts.
The award is supposed to be given every three years as mandated by the rules of the National
Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). But there are some circumstances when an award is given
the following year or not at all. It is bestowed by the President of the Philippines upon the
recommendation of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and the Cultural Center of
the Philippines (CCP). As of writing, the most recent set of awardees were conferred in 2014.
Criteria
First, an announcement will be made by the NCCA and the CCP, acting as the Order of the
National Artists Award Secretariat, for the opening of nominations for the said award. Nominees should
have the following qualifications:
1. The artist must be a Filipino citizen or at least at the time of the nomination. An artist who has
passed on can still be nominated if he/she was a Filipino before death.
2. The artist should have contributed “in building a Filipino sense of nationhood” as seen in their
works.
3. The artist should have led the way in a new and creative expression or style, separating themselves
from others and in turn influencing other generations of artist.
4. The artist’s work should be noteworthy and an embodiment of excellence, further enriching his/her
chosen field of creative expression.
5. The artist should be critically acclaimed and accepted by legitimate institutions and peers.
Once qualified, the nominations will be studied and reviewed by the NCCA and CCP. They would
then submit their recommendations to the President of the Philippines. The President would release a
proclamation granting respective rank and tittle to the nominees. The awardees would be conferred in a
ceremony arranged by the NCCA and CCP secretariat.
Other than the prestigious recognition, National Artists also receive other benefits such as:
