Denisa Reyes holds an impressive line of
choreographic works that won critical recognition in the international
dance scene. Her works focus on Asian Contemporary dance and the
possibilities of presenting current local issues through dance
expressions. Fides Cuyugan Asensio is an icon in the development
of opera and musical theater in the Philippines. She has also realized
her nurtured gifts to conceptualize and stage the art and craft of
theater in the country. She continues to promote young classical singers
through the Music Theater Foundation of the Philippines, the non-profit
organization she has established. Antonio Mabesa is a great theater artist who has
involved himself in nearly every field of theater. While he is known as
one of the country's premier directors, directing over 130 stage
productions, he is also an actor and a designer who has worked with the
top theater companies. Roberto Chabet, the first curator of the Cultural
Center of the Philippines, is credited with having introduced conceptual
art into the Philippine art scene. He spearheaded the acquisition of
notable works of Filipino masters and contemporary artists. Ricardo Lee championed the use of Filipino in
fiction since the 1960s and screenplay writing since the 1980s. His
numerous books are the embodiment of his creative and imaginative power
enriching Philippine Literature and Cinema. Nora Aunor is a multi-awarded Filipina actress,
singer, and producer. She has also topbilled several stage plays,
television shows, and concerts, and has received numerous national and
international awards and nominations. She is regarded as the "Superstar
in Philippine Entertainment Industry". Paulo Alcazaren has been contributing works to the
field of architecture that are not only aesthetically pleasing but
environmentally sensitive as well. Owing to his education of
architecture and landscape architecture at the University of the
Philippines, his works and that of his company, Paulo G. Alcazaren and
Associates (PGAA), have adeptly integrated verdure in the urban setting. Ben Farrales took his imagination to the next level
and brought indigenous designs and materials into dazzling creations we
see today, worn by prominent personalities in elegant balls, society
affairs, and fashion shows. His patterns are based on the Muslim
culture, taking the malong fashion in other parts of the world like
Canada, Los Angeles, and New York through an exhibit called "Maranaw.” Leoncio Deriada has won all the prestigious literary
awards including the Palanca Hall of Fame for his works in English,
Filipino and Hiligaynon. His most important contribution is his having
encouraged and trained young writers in West Visayas and produced prize
winners for writing in Hiligaynon, Kinaray-a and Aklanon besides English
and Filipino.
The Talaandig School of Living Tradition is a haven for pre-school
children who learn reading, writing and arithmetic alongside traditional
Talaandig values and mythologies, dance techniques, and music. The
knowledge on the Talaandig people including their roots and identity are
disseminated in the form of entertainment such as storytelling,
chanting, music and instrument playing. Armida Siguion-Reyna's contribution to both the
musical theater and the film industry is far reaching. In the field of
musical theater, the television program "Aawitan Kita" for which she has
produced, hosted and sang was aired for three decades. Her outstanding
contribution to the arts is underscored by the awards she has received
from different award-giving bodies. Basilio Esteban Villaruz holds the distinction of
establishing and sustaining the 34-year old program at the University of
the Philippines College of Music and the UP Dance Company. He is
nationally and internationally recognized and respected in the field of
dance.
Since their arrival in the Philippines in 1929, the Missionary
Society of St. Columbus has been housed in the Malate Church (also known
as the Nuestra Señora de los Remedios), and has continued to cater to
the Malate area's ecclesiastical needs. They have gone beyond their
spiritual service to the congregation by also taking care of the church
that they have called home.
The Gawad CCP Para sa Sining, which is given every three years, is

outstanding works, enriched the development of their art form. The award
