WHAT IS A NATIONAL ARTIST? 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. The rank and title of National Artist is conferred by means of a Presidential Proclamation. It recognizes excellence in the fields of Music, Dance, Theater, Visual Arts, Literature, Film and Broadcast Arts, and Architecture or Allied Arts. THE INSIGNIA OF THE ORDER OF NATIONAL ARTISTS The central badge is a medallion divided into three equal portions, red, white, and blue, recalling the Philippine flag, with three stylized letter Ks—the “KKK” stands for the CCP’s motto: “katotohanan, kabutihan, at kagandahan” (“the true, the good, and the beautiful”), as coined by then first lady Mrs. Imelda Romualdez Marcos, the CCP’s founder. The composition of the Grand Collar is silver gilt bronze. In place of a rosette there is an enameled pin in the form of the insignia of the order. Here are the benefits that national artists may receive: 1. The rank and title of National Artist, as proclaimed by the President of the Philippines; 2. The insignia of a National Artist and a citation; 3. A lifetime emolument and material and physical benefits comparable in value to those received by the highest officers of the land such as: a) a cash award of P100,000.00 net of taxes, for living awardees; b) a cash award of P75,000.00 net of taxes, for posthumous awardees, payable to legal heir/s; c) a monthly life pension, medical and hospitalization benefits; d) life insurance coverage for Awardees who are still insurable; e) a state funeral and burial at the Libingan ng mga Bayani; f) place of honor at state functions, ceremonies, and other cultural presentations WHEN WAS THE ORDER OF NATIONAL ARTISTS CREATED? It was established by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 1001, s. 1972, which created the Award and Decoration of National Artist, “to give appropriate recognition and prestige to Filipinos who have distinguished themselves and made outstanding contributions to Philippine arts and letters,” and which posthumously conferred the award on the painter Fernando Amorsolo, who had died earlier that year.
