The Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in Jakarta, Indonesia joins the nation in the celebration of the National Arts Month this February 2023.
With this year’s theme “ANI NG SINING, BUNGA NG GALING,” the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) leads the celebration of National Arts Month (NAM) this February and March with various exciting face-to-face and online activities. Said theme aims to immerse Filipinos in diverse cultural expressions and celebrate the bountiful harvest from the Filipino imagination.
The theme “galing” refers to excellence in the arts as both a source of bounty despite challenging times, and a product of the passion of Filipino artists and cultural workers. In celebrating National Arts Month in 2023, “galing” alludes to artistic excellence as well as underscoring the capacity of the arts to heal, rebuild, and restore in a post-pandemic setting.
Promulgated by then President Corazon Aquino in 1991, Presidential Proclamation No. 683 declared February of every year as National Arts Month to celebrate the artistic excellence and pay tribute to the uniqueness and diversity of the Filipino heritage and culture.
