understanding of who you are and where you belong, as art is an instrument of
identity. (Sayuno 2019)

Lesson 2: Philippine Contemporary Art
According to J. Paul Getty Museum, Contemporary Art is described as art
produced and made by artists living today. Today’s artists work in and respond
to a global environment that is culturally diverse, technologically advancing, and
multifaceted.

Therefore…

The kind of art created by today’s artists is an art that has a world view and is
sensitive to the changing times.

Contemporary art today is not restricted to the individual experience of the artist
but is reflective of the world that we live in.

At this point let us watch a documentary by Romerick Roque CK about Philippine

The NCCA logo is the Alab ng Haraya (The Flame of Imagination) which
symbolizes the wellspring of Filipino art and culture.
It is composed of two basic elements – the fire and the censer.
The fire is a stylized letter K of Philippine indigenous script that stands for
kadakilaan or greatness. The fire represents the highest level of imagination and
emanates from a three-tiered censer.
The three tiers stand for organization, economic support, and an orientation
rooted on a thorough grasp of tradition and history, which the NCCA provides.
Done in gold to symbolize the immense wealth of Philippine culture, it was
designed by the late Romeo “Boy” Togonon.

official regulating body of the Filipino language and the official government
institution tasked with developing, preserving, and promoting the various local

for the Linangan ng mga Wika sa Pilipinas (LWP) that was set up in 1987 which was
a replacement of the older Surian ng Wikang Pambansa (SWP), established in
1937 as the first government agency to foster the development of a Philippine
national language.

http://web.nlp.gov.ph/nlp/?q=node/190
The National Library of the Philippines was established as the Museo-Biblioteca de
Filipinas through the royal decree of August 12, 1887.
The Library was revived with the donation made by the American Circulating
Library Association of its Circulating Library to the government formalized through
Public Act No. 96 passed on March 5, 1901.
Public Law Act No. 1935, provided for the "the consolidation of all libraries
belonging to any branch of the Philippine government for the creation of the
Philippine Library", and for the maintenance of the same, and other purposes. To
carry out the provisions of this law, a Library Board was constituted consisting of
the Secretary of the Public Instruction, the Secretary of Interior, the Secretary of
Finance and Justice, and the other members to be appointed annually by the
Governor General.
In 1916, The Philippine Library, Division of Archives, Patents, Copyrights and
Trademarks of the Executive Bureau and the Law Library of the Philippine
assembly were merged into one entity, called the Philippine Library and Museum.
Twelve years later, the Philippine Legislature separated the museum from the
library. Public Law No. 3477 (1928) established the National Museum under the
Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources and changed the name of the
Philippine Library and Museum to The National Library.
The President of the Philippines changed the name of The National Library to
Bureau of Public Libraries in accordance with Executive Order No. 94, series 1947.
This order was followed by Republic Act No. 411, otherwise known as the
Municipal Libraries Law, authored by the then Senator Geronima T. Pecson.
Republic Act No. 3873 passed in 1964 brought back to the Bureau of Public
Libraries its old name, The National Library. Currently, the library is known as the
National Library of the Philippines (NLP) pursuant to Republic Act No. 10087
enacted in May 13, 2010. The NLP is located at T.M. Kalaw Street, Manila.

The task of guaranteeing that documents and records are preserved and
accessible to the public lies with the National Archives of the Philippines. Its main
responsibility is to preserve the primary sources of information on Philippine history,
the basic components of cultural heritage and collective memory. These
documentary sources are the embodiment of community identities as well as
testaments to shared national experiences.
The National Archives of the Philippines is the home of about 60 million documents
from the centuries of Spanish rule in the Philippines, the American and Japanese
occupations, as well as the years of the Republic. It is also the final repository for
the voluminous notarized documents of the country.
The Treaty of Paris (December 10, 1898) established the Office of Archives
(formerly Spanish Division of Archives) under the Americans. The Treaty urged the
turn-over of documents from Spain and the Philippines. Philippine Commission Act
No. 273 (October 21, 1901) established the Bureau of Archives under the
Department of Public Instructions (now Department of Education)
On May 21, 2007, by means of RA 9470 – the first archival legislation after more
than a century – the National Archives of the Philippines came into existence. The
new law strengthened the government’s recordkeeping systems and
administration programs for archival materials.
Today, in implementing its mandate, the Archives utilizes a two pronged
approach where effective records management goes hand-in-hand with the
development of a sense of pride in one’s heritage. To achieve its goals, the
Archives interacts with other government agencies and the private sector to set
up projects which will illustrate how heritage resources can be used for enhancing
community life. Archival materials can be utilized for tourism information, creative
product design and heritage education modules that revitalize the youth’s sense
of identity and membership in a dynamic, multifaceted nation.
