ARTS AND CULTURE SECTOR
M A N I F E S T O
We, artists, cultural workers, educators and arts administrators from the Arts and Culture Sector of Philippine society, commit ourselves to:
- Support the new administration in its pursuit of social, political, economic and cultural progress through the promotion of good governance, transparency and moral ascendancy that will lay the foundation for national development;
- Unite as a sector, as we become more vigilant and determined to advocate for the development of a national Philippine culture we can all be proud of;
- Be active catalysts in the moral transformation of our society through the promotion of Filipino values, customs and traditions;
- Be formidable partners in forging national unity by addressing ethno-cultural problems and by using the arts as instruments for peace and development.
We urge the Philippine Government, including its cultural agencies and concerned departments, to:
- Formulate a national vision and a unified plan for artistic and cultural development in consultation with the Arts and Culture sector.
- Recognize the value of artistic and cultural development in the context of peace, national unity and progress;
- Provide the necessary support structures and mechanisms for the development and promotion of arts and culture, including infrastructure for the arts, arts in education, creative industry, cultural promotion and cultural heritage conservation.
- Consult our sector on a regular basis on the formulation and implementation of policies and programs related to arts and culture, including the choice of leaders of cultural institutions.
