what is the essence of GAMABA? do you think having two national credits for human expression emphasize the gap between independent articulation and regular, network-based ceremonies and work of art?
Answers
Answer:
GAMABA stands for Gawad ng manlilikha ng bayan, the very purpose of this award is to give honor and pride to those traditional folk artist and to preserve their works, skills and crafts. The Gawad ng manlilikha ng bayan or the National Living treasures award was established on April 1992 through Republic Act No.
The National Living Treasures Award, also known as the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA), is given to an individual or group of artists who have made significant contributions to the Philippines' intangible cultural heritage.
The purpose of this prize is to encourage these arts and prevent them from becoming extinct in the country. The fact that human expressions have two national credits underscores the disparity between independent and regular articulations, as well as the lack of interest and persons working in this field.
