National Living Treasures and Contemporary Art Production
Filipinos are widely recognized all over the world for their artistic talents. The Filipino talents in the arts is truly
something that we should be proud of.
This unit will introduce you to the country’s national living treasures-artists who still keep the tradition of the past to
survive the changing world. These artists remind us of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of our country
In this new millennium, the indigenous and tribel cultural and artistic heritage of the Philippines is threatened by
modernization and globaloization. Many members of Philippine Tribal and Indigenous Communities move to the city to
seek better economic opportunity. Thus, they leave behind the rich and unique language and practices that have
thrived for many years.
Modernization and Globalization threaten the cultural and artistic heritage of Philippine Indigenous Communities In
response to the pressing concern of art and cultural preservation, the Philippine Government in 1992 enacted
Republic Act 7355. This institutionalized the National Living Treasure Award or the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan.
The National Living Treasures Award or the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan recognizes Filipino Tradition Arts.

VI. RESEARCH EXPLORATION
103-Year-Old Filipina Tattoo Artist is the Last One of Traditional Kalinga Style
Whang-Od Oggay, who is popularly known as Apo Whang-Od, is the oldest tattoo artist in the Philippines at 103 years
old and is the last mambabatok – or traditional Kalinga tattooist – in the country. Whang-Od, who lives in the village
of Buscalan in Kalinga province, started tattooing headhunters with the help of her father at the age of 15, according
to My Modern Met.
According to Great Big Story, Whang-Od uses a traditional process where she taps pomelo tree thorns dipped in
charcoal water with a coffee tree hammer into the skin and leaves a permanent ink mark. Her tattoos come with
variations in designs, such as normal lines, animals and her world-famous three dot signature. Some of them even
have meanings like strength and fertility, B
ored Panda reported.
Traditionally, the tattoos were only given to men after making kills. Women also receive tattoos as a way to enhance
their natural beauty and to attract any potential partners, ABS-CBN reported. Tribes members view their tattoos as
signs of prestige, honor, beauty and fortitude. With the more modern age, Whang-Od opened her doors to outsiders
who want to experience the traditional form of tattooing. People from around the world travel more than 15 hours
from the Philippines’ capital of Manila up north to Buscalan to get tattooed by the legendary artist. Keeping the tattoo
tradition in Buscalan is not as easy as passing the tools to the next generation. In their culture, the art of
mambabatok must be passed down to their relatives to prevent contamination or infection of the tattoos. Even
though Whang-Od has no sons or daughters, she trained her grandnieces, Grace Palicas and Ilyang Wigan, to be the
next tattoo masters.
“[My friends who gave tattoos] have all passed away. I’m the only one left alive that’s still giving tattoos,” Whang-Od
said. “But I’m not afraid that the tradition will end because [I’m training] the next tattoos masters.” In 2018,
Whang-Od received the Dangal ng Haraya Award for Intangible Cultural Heritage where she was recognized, “as a
living vessel of a traditional practice, [who] deserves honor and acknowledgment for her contributions, particularly by
bringing to greater attention the indigenous practice of tattooing and Filipino culture in general,” Inquirer r eported.
The award “is given to living Filipino artists, cultural workers and historians; artistic or cultural groups, historical
societies, institutions, foundations and councils, to recognize their outstanding achievements in relevant fields that
have made an impact and significant contribution to Philippine culture and arts,” said the National Commission for
Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
That same year, Philippine senators made a resolution to nominate Whang-Od for the National Living Treasure
Award, “the highest honor given by the state to traditional folk artists,” Rappler r eported.
