D. Review

To set all things align and clear with out

discussion today, I think we need to get
back from the definition of terms that has
to do with our discussion today that were
discussed in the previous lesson.

The terms are Contemporary and

Traditional Art.

When you hear the word Contemporary

what does it mean base from the previous
lesson? Jaymee?
Jaymee: It is the present time, the current
time, ma’am.

Very good Jaymee! Contemporary is the

present time, the current time, and the
day we live today.

How about when we say Traditional Art,

how do you define this, Christian?

Christian: Traditional Art base from the

last lesson, they are arts that originated
from the past. They are usually made in
the pre-colonial era.

Very good, Christian! Traditional arts are

from the old times, basically they are
originated from the pre-colonial eras. Can
you give me examples of Traditional Art,
Rhein.
Rhein: The Bul ul sculpture mam.

Very good! Another? Yes, Japhet? You

are raising your hand. Japhet: The Manunggul Jar ma’am.
Okay, you are right too. Very good!

How about when we say Traditional Art (Hannah is raising her hand.)
form, can you please give me an example
of this?

Yes, Hannah? Hannah: Pottery, Weaving, Sculpture,

Very good! Now, do you think
Traditional Art/Traditional Art form is
significant in this Contemporary
times?Denise, what is your idea?
You have a brilliant idea, Denise! Very
good. Class do you agree with the
statement of Denise?
Architecture are examples of Traditional
art forms ma’am.
Denise: Yes ma’am because as what we
experience, traditioanal arts are still
important nowadays because they serve
as the representation of the contemporary
arts today. Traditional Arts influenced the
arts of contemporary time. As a matter of
fact, even they were from the past, we
can still see and use today.
All: Yes, ma’am!

Okay, if that is the case. I think you are

ready to share your guts with me about
this question that has a relation to our
topic today.

E. Motivation

SHARE YOUR GUTS WITH ME!

How does tradition become

contemporary, and contemporary
traditional?

Anyone who wants to share their ideas? (Geremie is raising his hand.)
Okay, Geremie, go ahead.

Geremie: I think ma’am Tradition or

Traditional Art become Contemporary
because they are still existing today. With
this, they can be still part of
Contemporary and part of our tradition or
everyday living.
Nice! I like your idea, you’re right very
good. How about Kurtlyn, may I know
your insight about this?
Kurtlyn: I agree with Geremie’s answer
ma’am. Just to add, traditional art
becomes contemporary in a sense that
they are still beneficial to this time.
Traditional Arts are still alive today.
Some Contemporary Artist are doing the
Appropriation to the traditional arts,
ma’am.
You are both correct! Brilliant minds!
Eventhough traditional arts are made
from the past, the fact that they are still
existing, functioning, being used, and
creating today, they become part of the
Contemporary times, of the
Contemporary World. Another thing,
they are being integrated with the modern
techniques and materials, another ways to
consider them part of Contemporary. And
since they are part of the present time, we
benefit from them, they are now part of
our everyday life, our tradition.

Am I clear with my explanation to the

introductory questions to our lesson
today?

All: Yes, ma’am!

Do you have any questions or

clarification?
All: None ma’am!
F. Discussion

And since we are talking about the

Traditional Art, let us proceed to the artist
who made them. The traditional artists
who provide and preserve the cultural
heritage of our native land. They are the
center and main focus of this lesson.

Do you have any idea what we call the

traditional artists who contributed so
much pride and preservation of our
cultural state as Filipino? (Jasmine is raising her hand)

Jasmine?

Jasmine: Base from what I read and hear

from the news, I think ma’am they are
known as GAMABA or Gawad sa
Manlilikha ng Bayan.
You got it right! Very good! They are the
Gamaba or yes, they are the Gawad sa
Manlilikha ng Bayan. They are the
traditional artists who devoted themselves
to be a representation of what tradition
we have in our country and even in the
whole world.

Where do you think they are usually live

in? Kate?

Kate: I think, since they are traditional

artists, they are from the ethnic groups
You are right! Very good! You will meet
them later.

To have indepth knowlege about them,

are you ready to know more about them?

All: Yes ma’am!

WHAT IS GAMABA?

Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (one who

creates for the country) or National
Living Treasure.

Gamaba or Gawad sa Manlilikha ng

Bayan is a distinction award accorded by
the Philippine Government to the finest
artists of the land. The search is
conducted by the National Commision
for Culture and the Arts. It is
institutionalized in the Republic Act 7355
with a title, “Manlilikha ng Bayan Act”
and it was established in April 1992. As
like what Kate said, they are from far
lands, from different ethnic group and
they are recognized and awarded by their
dedication and outstanding works that
preserve the authentic culture of the
Philippines. Also, they are known as the
National Living Treasure, the one who
creates and preserve the relation of the
past to the present time. They are the
culture bearer, the spirit bearer of the
Filipino Culture.

Am I being clear with GAMABA

All: Yes, ma’am!

Do you have any questions?

All: None ma’am!

Emphasis on the intangible and
communal aspects of art production, are
closely aligned with the process-based
and collaborative inclination of some
contemporary art practices.

When we say intangible, their works are

more on the literature, language, and
performing arts. They are focusing on the
process of making an art because it
symbolizes their life and culture in their
place. Nowadays, they are integrated by
contemporary practices. Why there is a
need to integrate a contemporary
practices in making a traditional art
today?
Yes, Margarette? (Margarette is raising her hand.)

Margarette: Traditional Art are integrated

with Contemporary practices because this
is to fasten the process, and make the art
relate with the current time.
Very good! You are correct!

Also, Traditional art finds deep affinities

with nature, place, society, ritual, and
spirituality and everyday life.

The process of creation is usually shared

among members of the community and
appeals to broader aspects of life.

Why do you think traditional artists are

sharing their process to their community?
Eli?
Eli: It is to continue and prolong what
they have started ma’am. The more they
share it, the more possibilities their
culture will be promoted.

Very good! As a matter of fact, that is

their goal, right? To promote their culture
to the people in the Philippines and whole
wide world. Right?
All: Yes, ma’am!
Do you have any questions or
clarification?

All: None, ma’am!

Things produced such as textiles, hats,

baskets, or utensils are common place,
usually found and used in people’s
homes.

Songs and dances are performed as a

group as part of ritual and as a way of
affirming one’s cultural identity or sense
of belonging.

As we go along our discussion, you will

meet our GAMABA awardees and they
are categorized into three different art
forms. Weaving, Literature and
Traditional Arts, and Plastics Arts.

Are we clear with the meaning of

GAMABA and the important matters that
surround it?
All: Yes, ma’am!

Do you have any questions or

clarification? All: None, ma’am!

Okay, But before that, it is a must that

you should have an deeper knowledge
about the GAMABA and the law that
talks about it. Since it is accorded by the
Philippine Government, the Gawad ng
Manlilikha ng Bayan is based from legal
bases and facts that strengthen the
process of selecting awardees and their
purpose.

If you really listening to our discussion,

what is the Republic Act that tackles
GAMABA? All: Republic Act 7355 or the Manlilikha
ng Bayan Act.

Very good!I said that this is a law, what

is your expectation about its content?
Princess?
Princess: I think ma’am, it contains the
complete information about the awarding
the GAMABA. The Objective,
Criteria,Awards, Responsibilities of the
Awardee and so on ma’am.

I am amazed with your answer, you really

did an advance reading as what I
instructed you in our last meeting. Very
good! You are correct!

Republic Act 7355 is an act providing act

for the recognition of the National Living
Treasures and the promotion and
development of the Traditional Art. Yes,
it contains all the information about the
matters in GAMABA. It contains 11
sections, but we will only discuss the first
6 sections since they are most important
things to be aware of.

Are you ready class? All: Yes, ma’am!

I want you to take notes of this

information, and observe later the
GAMABA awardees if they really meet
the contains of this Republic Act 7355.
All: Yes, ma’am!
Am I clear, class?
All: Yes, ma’am!
Are you ready?

Okay, for the first section. It is the title of

the R.A. 7355. Yes, you are right of what
you are thinking. R.A. 7355 is also
known as the Manlilikha ng Bayan Act.

For the section 2, It is the Policy and

Objectives of the Act.

As a general objective, it is to promote

and preserve the traditional arts and at the
same time give honor to the traditional
artists that give effort in preserving the
culture that we have as Filipino.

Also, they are specified in the following:

to acknowledge the importance of

traditional folk artist as singular conduit
between skills of the past and the future;

-this is to give acknowledge to the

traditional artist in becoming the bridge
of skills of the past, present, and for the
future.

to revitalize a community’s artistic

tradition thereby protecting a valuable
fact of Philippine culture;

What does it means?

Rome: I think ma’am, to give life again
to the tradition of the authentic Filipino
culture that is somehow gradually fading
today.
Yes, you’re right!

Next,

to provide mechanisms for identifying

and assisting qualified traditional folk
artists to transfer their skills to the
community; and

- This act would like to help in finding

the quality GAMABA awardees that can
be an instrument and master of passing
their skills in the commmunity

And lastly,

to create opportunities for popularizing

their works locally and internationally.

Are we all clear with the Policy and

Objective in the Section 2 of R.A 7355?

All: Yes, ma’am!

In the Section 3. It is about the Definition

of Terms. This contains the word/s that
we can encounter in this Republic Act.

Can you please read it, Jozalds.

Jozalds: SEC. 3. Definition of Terms. –

uniquely Filipino, whose distinctive
skills have reached such a high level of

community with the same degree of
technical and artistic competence.

“Traditional Folk Art” refers to

expressions of distinctiveness and artistic
quality created to serve a decorative
and/or utilitarian or sociocultural
functions of traditional folk artists
commonly known for such works.

How do you get its point?

Jozalds:This talks that the artists must be
pure Filipino who creates a technical and
artistic artworks that must be shared to
the community. The term is Traditional
Folk Art, the work of Filipino Folk
Artists.

Very good, Jozalds!

skills to his community.
