6. What is a National Artist?
Based on the definition provided by NCCA, a
National Artist is a Filipino citizen who has been
given the rank and title of National Artist in
recognition of his or her significant contributions to
the development of Philippine arts and letters.
It recognizes excellence in the fields of Music,
Dance, Theater, Visual Arts, Literature, Film and
Broadcast Arts, and Architecture or Allied Arts.
The rank and title of National Artist is conferred by
means of a Presidential Proclamation.

7. Those who have been proclaimed National Artists are given a
Grand Collar symbolizing their status. Recipients of this Grand
Collar make up the Order of National Artists.
It is jointly administered by NCCA and CCP. NCCA stands
for National Commission for Culture and the Arts. It is then
conferred by the President of the Philippines.
What is the Order of National
Artists?

8. The insignia is made up of a Grand Collar featuring
circular links portraying the arts, and an eight-pointed
conventionalized sunburst suspended from sampaguita
wreath in green and white enamel.
The central badge is a medallion divided into three equal
portions: blue, white, and red which symbolizes the
Philippine flag, with three stylized letter Ks- that stand for
CCP’s motto: “katotohanan, kabutihan, at kagandahan”
(“the true, the good, and the beautiful”), which was coined
by then first lady, Mrs. Imelda Marcos, the CCP’s founder.
