GAMABA AWARD AND THE FILIPINO NATIONAL ARTIST AWARDEES

Hey! Good day Everyone in today's blog I want to share with you about how the GAMABA Awards started and Who are the Filipino National Artist belongs to the GAMABA Awardees. Pero Bago ko sabihin kung sino-sino sila, gusto kulang tanungin kung alam nyo ba kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng GAMABA Award? Kung hindi pa, halika at sabay sabay nating alamin! 

Based on my research "GAMABA Awards" is The National Living Treasures Award, alternatively known as the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA; lit. 'Award for the Creators of the Country'), is conferred to a person or group of artists recognized by the Government of the Philippines for their contributions to the country's intangible cultural heritage. A recipient of the award, a National Living Treasure or Manlilikha ng Bayan is " A Filipino citizen or group of Filipino citizens engaged in any traditional art uniquely Filipino, whose distinctive skills have reached such a high level of technical and artistic excellence and have been passed on to and widely practiced by the present generations in their community with the same degree of technical and artistic competence."  At ito ay Pinagtibay ng pamahalaan noong 5 Pebrero 1992 sa pamamagitan ng Batas Republika Blg. 7355, ang Gawad Manlilikha ng Bayan o Gamaba ay halaw sa National Folk Artist Award na iginawad ng Rotary Club of Makati-Ayala noong 1998.

Layunin ng gawad na: 

• kilalanin ang kahalagahan ng mga tradisyonal na manlilikhang-bayan.

•Muling payabungin ang katutubong sining ng mga komunidad pangkultura.

•Magtakda ng mga mekanismo sa pagkilala at pagtulong sa mga kalipikadong manlilikhang-bayan upang maituro nila ang kanilang kaalaman sa komunidad.

•Lumikha ng mga oportunidad upang makilala ang kanilang mga likha sa loob at labas ng bansa.

Kabilang sa mga sining na kinikilala sa gawad na ito ay ang katutubong arkitektura, paglalayag, paghahabi, paglililok, pagtatanghal, panitikan, grapiko at plastik na sining, paggawa ng mga palamuti, paghabi ng tela, pagpapalayok, at iba pa.

Ang pagpili sa mga Manlilikha ng Bayan ay ipinatutupad ng Pambansang Komisyon para sa Kultura at mga Sining (NCCA), ang pangunahing tagapag-ugnay ng lahat ng mga ahensiyang pangkultura at pansining ng bansa. Bago ito ipagkaloob, ipinaaalam muna sa indibidwal o pangkat ang kanilang mga tungkulin at karapatan. 

Kabílang sa kanilang tungkulin ang:

• Isalin ang kanilang kasanayan sa mga nakababatàng kasapi ng komunidad.

•Itaguyod at palaganapin ang kanilang sining; at magkaloob sa Pambansang Museo ng mga halimbawa, kopya, o dokumentasyon ng kanilang likha.

Ang mga nagawaran ay pinagkakalooban ng plake o medalya, inisyal na pondo, at buwanang salapi habang sila ay nabubuhay upang maisakatuparan ang kanilang tungkulin. Ang pagkilalang ito ay iginagawad ng Pangulo ng Filipinas sa isang pampublikong seremonya. (GB) (ed GSZ). 

   At ayon nga! atin ng nalaman at Natapos na nating talakayin kung ano nga ba talaga ang GAMABA Awards, Ngayon naman ay atin namang alamin at kilalanin kung sino-sino ang mga Filipino National Artist ang nag-wagi o napabilang sa GAMABA Awardees.

Effect of the GAMABA in the communities As culture bearers, the role of the GAMABA is to pass on their artistic knowledge to the community, to inspire them , and to ensure that aspects of their cultural identity continue to thrive . 

• Traditional become contemporary Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. Contemporary-Traditional Art refers to an art produced at the present period of time that reflects the current culture by utilizing classical techniques in drawing, painting, and sculpting. Contemporary art is much more focussed on social/society focussed.

• The tradition become contemporary and vice versa Because Anything traditional can become contemporary by reinterpreting its function, use, pragmatism, or even ethics and morality. Sometimes traditions outwear their longevity because the original reason for their being no longer applies
