MANILA — President Marcos vowed to promote and support arts and culture as he honored 33 Filipino artists who won the highest international awards over the past year.
Speaking at the 15th Ani ng Dangal Awards at Malacañang last Wednesday, Marcos said promoting the art industry would help grow the country’s economy and uplift Filipinos worldwide.
“You can be sure that the government and this administration are with you in promoting and enriching our arts and culture,” the President said in Filipino.
“It is but proper to appreciate what we regard as treasures of our nation and to recognize the honor they bring to our country,” he added.
Marcos urged the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) to “use all available resources to support and to develop our artists and creators with huge potential in the arts.”
The Chief Executive also asked Filipino artists to showcase Philippine culture and identity as well as its rich artistry and cultural heritage.
