Topic: World Class Artists
Filipinos have made a remarkable presence on a global scale. The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration reported that
as of December 2013, the total population of Filipinos who worked and resided in other parts of the globe has reached whopping
10,238,614.
World Class Artists – it’s a term that commonly denotes some elusive shining realm where only the coolest and most
accomplished of artists dwell.
Truly, Filipinos are conquering the planet in terms of presence–but not just that, they are also taking the world stage when it comes
to talent and skills. When talking about internationally acclaimed Filipinos, the first names that pop in their heads are Manny
Pacquiao and Lea Salonga.
LESSONS FROM INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED PINOYS
World-class Filipinos share common characteristics that made them successful, and people can learn important life lessons from
them.
• Aim high and work hard - One of the most important ingredients in achieving success is dreaming high and working hard. A
world-class Filipino knows that his caliber is not limited to the boundaries of the place he lives in.
• Humility is a Must - A world-class Filipino keeps his feet firm on the ground. He gratefully looks back to his roots in every great
thing he achieves–as it molded him to become the person he is today. Even at his high status, he still allots more room for his own
growth because he knows there’s so much more to learn.
• Be Friends with Your Fellow - A world-class Filipino maintains a good relationship with his colleagues in the industry he’s in.
Though there is a tough competition between each other, it does not stop him to be friends with his rivals. He won’t drag his
opponents down personally but still outshines them professionally.

Topic: National Living Treasures Award: Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA)
The Philippines also honors artists who are engaged in folk or traditional arts and who have reached a high level of technical skill
and artistic excellence. The award is called the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA), or National Living Treasures
Award.
The categories for GAMABA are folk architecture, maritime transport, weaving, carving, performing arts, literature, graphic and
plastic arts, ornament, textile or fiber art, pottery, and other artistic expressions of traditional culture.
In April 1992, the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan or the National Living Treasures Award was institutionalized through Republic
Act No. 7355. Through this law, the NCCA “conducts the search for the finest traditional artists of the land, adopts a program that
will ensure the transfer of their skills to others, and undertakes measures to promote a genuine appreciation of and instill pride
among our people about the genius of the Manlilikha ng Bayan.”
As envisioned under R.A. 7355, “Manlilikha ng Bayan” shall mean a citizen engaged in any traditional art uniquely Filipino whose
distinctive skills have reached such a high level of technical and artistic excellence, have been passed on to, and widely practiced
by the present generation in his/her community with the same degree of technical and artistic competence.
GUIDELINES IN IDENTIFYING AND RECOGNIZING A PERSON AS A MANLILIKHA NG BAYAN
The NCCA follows these guidelines in identifying and recognizing a person as a Manlilikha ng Bayan in the field of folk epic
literature, music, textile, and mat weaving, dance, metal work, and casque production:

indigenous customs, beliefs, rituals and traditions and/or has syncretized whatever external elements that have influenced it.
b. He or she must have engaged in a folk art tradition that has been in existence and documented for at least 50 years.
c. He or she must have consistently performed or produced, over a significant period, works of superior and distinctive
quality.

art as master and maker of works of extraordinary technical quality.
e. He or she must have passed on and/or will pass on to the other members of the community their skills in the folk art for
which the community is traditionally known.
A traditional artist who possesses all the qualities of a Manlilikha ng Bayan candidate, but due to age or infirmity (deterioration)
has left him or her incapable of teaching further his or her craft, may still be recognized if the following are met:
a. He or she had created a significant body of works and/or has consistently dsiplayed excellence in the practice of
his or her art, thus achieving important contributions for its development.

Topic: Philippine Independent Cinema
Independent cinema is any type of filmmaking that takes place outside the mainstream commercial film industry or films or
filmmaking practices that claim a degree of autonomy in relation variously to industrial practices, filmmaking conventions, or
political context. Independent or indie films are a break from the mainstream, highly budgeted productions of established movie
production companies such as Star Cinema and Regal Films.
Their unconventional narratives, experimentation on style and technique, and their artful treatment of material characterize what we
called the independent films. Independent or indie films may also be referred to as “alternative cinema.” It includes short films,
documentaries, experimental films, and animations which are made without the capitalization usually found in commercial films.
They are low-budget films produced by smaller production houses, and are not funded by the companies mentioned above.
The year 1977 was the birth of Philippine independent cinema. Baguio-based filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik won the International
Critics’ Prize in the Berlin Film Festival for his film Mababangong Bangungot (Perfumed Nightmare). The Experimental Cinema of
the Philippines (ECP) was created through Executive Order No. 770 in 1982. Through this government-owned corporation was
created to promote the local film industry in general, it was instrumental in the funding of art films such as Peque Gallaga’s Oro,
Plata, Mata and Ishmael Bernal’s Himala. The ECP, however, was dissolved in 1986.
The rise of independent films started in the 70s, known to be the Second Golden Age of Cinema, where alternative filmmakers
like Ishmael Bernal, Lino Brocka, Mike De Leon, Mario O’Hara, and Kidlat Tahimik entered the scene with films exploring poverty,
sex, and oppression – themes that mainstream films usually veer away from.
These films are not widely distributed by the famous movie houses in the country. Instead, film festivals were established, giving
the filmmakers and film aficionados a space where they can all showcase and enjoy their films. Some of the festivals we know
today are:
 Cinemalaya Film Festival  QCinema Film Festival

 CineFilipino Film Festival  Cinema One Originals Film Festivals
Today’s most successful indie films are: Auraeus Solito’s Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, John Torres’ Endo, Brillante
Mendoza’s Kinatay, and Lav Diaz’ Ang Babaeng Humayo.
Mainstream films, in the simplest definition, are those which are produced by big production companies and are released and
screened in first-run theatres. What makes the film “mainstream” is that it caters to a wider audience, and that it also popular with
most people – the masses. Genres of mainstream films are usually romance, action, comedy, and romantic-comedy. These films
can be described as light-hearted, something that aims to entertain and ease the stress off of their audience.
Films which are considered mainstream usually have big budgets, and are wwfdistributed by the biggest production companies in
the Philippines which include:
 Star Cinema  Viva Films

 Regal Films  GMA Films
Some of the most prominent and most successful commercially-made films today are: Cathy Garcia-Molina’s One More
Chance, Wenn Deramas’ Praybeyt Benjamin, and Tony Y. Reyes’ Enteng Kabisote.
Bridging both the mainstream and indie are the maindie films. Made from the combination of the two words, films that fall under
this category are basically those which are independently-made but were adapted and distributed by the bigger production
companies. Marlon Rivera’s Ang Babae sa Septic Tank, Antoinette Jadaone’s That Thing Called Tadhana, and Lav Diaz’ Ang
Babaeng Humayo are considered maindie films.
At the end of the day, mainstream and Indie are merely classifications as to how the films are made and doesn’t really have any
bearing as to which has more depth and value than the other. There will always be something good and of quality to come out from
the bunch of mainstream films that are made; and there will always be independently-made films which will not always meet the
expectations of its intended crowd.
Direction: Answer the following questions below: Write your answer in your NOTEBOOK.
1. What makes indie films different from mainstream movies?

2. Narrate the birth of Philippine Independent cinema.
3. Why there are more indie films being produced today than mainstream movies?

Topic: Philippine Independent Cinema
Award-winning Films
Many Filipino-made indie films have been harvesting worldwide recognition. The films of Brillante Mendoza, for example, have
been continually making waves in various international film festivals:
1. Masahista (15th Brisbane International Fil Festival, where it won the Interfaith Award),
2. Tirador (Berlin Film Festival, where it won the Caligari Film Prize),
3. Serbis (2008 Bangkok International Film Festival, where it won the Golden Kinnaree),
4. Kinatay (2009 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Prix de la mise en scène),
5. Thy Womb (69th Venice Film Festival, where it won the La Navicella Venezia Cinema Award).
As a filmmaker, critics have described Mendoza as “a neorealist, and his films depict the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary
situations, set against the universal struggle of life, love and death.” In 2014, the French government awarded Mendoza the
Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) for his contributions in world cinema.
Other award-winning film directors are Adolf Alix for Donsol (Special Jury Prize, Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and
the Asian Marine Film Festival), Lav Diaz for Melancholia (Orizzonto Grand Prize at the 65th Venice International Film Festival),
and Dante Nico Garcia for Ploning (Best Director, Asian Festival of First Film Awards).
Other notable indie filmmakers are Jerrold Tarog, Jeffrey Jeturian, Mark Meily, and Chris Martinez.
Film Festivals
Perhaps the popularity and success of Philippine independent cinema also lies in the flourishing of film festivals in the country.
These film festivals provide seed money for writers and directors to begin with production. Also, these film festivals are good
marketing avenues for filmmakers to let the general public experience their works.
Major film festivals sponsored by the Philippine government include the:
1. Metro Manila Film Festival,

2. Film Development Council of the Philippines’ Sineng Pambansa,
3. Cinema Rehiyon,
4. CCP’s Cinemalaya, privately initiated film festivals such as Cinema One Originals and
5. CineFilipino
These film festivals allow the public to patronize indie films, which would otherwise not be shown in commercial theaters.
Many colleges and universities have started integrating filmmaking as a field of specialization. With the rise and popularity of digital
cameras today, almost anyone can make a film. Many young Filipinos have used portable recording devices in the convenience of
their own homes and communities to make films.
Activity:
1. Enumerate the major film festivals for independent films.

2. How do film festivals help in the development of the film industry?
3. Do you think that anyone with a digital camera can make a film?
