Filipino artists have a responsibility to create art that would enlighten

the people of the current conditions of the society, making this the vital
role played by the contemporary artists of today. In 1972, the Philippines
named its first national artists—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. In addition, a national artist embodies the nation contributing to
nationhood through a critically acclaimed significant body of work. There
are numerous talented Filipinos in the different fields of contemporary arts
such as: Music, Visual arts, Literature, Film, Broadcast Arts, Architecture,
Theatre, Dance, etc. that had given the honor of being part of the Order
of National Artists.

The insignia of the Order of the National Artists is

composed of a Grand Collar featuring circular links
portraying the arts, and an eight-pointed
conventionalized sunburst suspended from a Sampaguita
wreath in green and white enamel.

The central badge is a medallion divided into

three equal portions, red, white, and blue, recalling the
Philippine flag, with three stylized letter Ks—the “KKK”
stands for the CCP’s motto: “Katotohanan, Kabutihan, at
Kagandahan” (“the true, the good, and the beautiful”),
as coined by then first lady Mrs. Imelda Romualdez
Marcos, the CCP’s founder. The composition of the Grand
Collar is silver gilt bronze. In place of a rosette there is an
enameled pin in the form of the insignia of the order.

Executive Order No. 236 s. 2003, otherwise known as the

Honors Code of the Philippines, conferred additional prestige
on the National Artist Award by raising it to the level of a
Cultural Order, fourth in precedence among the orders and
decorations that comprise the Honors of the Philippines, and
equal in rank to the Order of National Scientists and the
Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan. The National Artist Award
was thereby renamed the Order of National Artists (Orden ng
mga Pambansang Alagad ng Sining). This reflected the
consensus among government cultural agencies and the
artistic community that the highest possible international
prestige and recognition should be given our National Artists.
Section 5 of EO 236 stated the President may confer the
Order of National Artists “upon the recommendation of the
Cultural Center of the Philippines and the National
Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).”
