The Cultural Center of the Philippines was created in 1966 through Executive Order no. 30, with the purpose of promoting and preserving Filipino arts and culture. It was formally inaugurated on September 8, 1969, starting a three month long inaugural festival opened by the epic musical Dularawan. Since then, the CCP has sought to truly embody its logo of katotohanan (truth), kagandahan (beauty) and kabutihan (goodness). The best artists from all over the country and around the world have graced the CCP theaters and galleries, enthralling Filipinos for over thirty years.
National Artist Napoleon Abueva, dubbed as the Father of Modern Philippine Sculpture, is in dire need of blood donors after a bladder rupture. He’s currently confined at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute.

For the information of my fellow Isko’s and Iska’s, this is the man behind the replicas of the Oblation in several U.P. chapters: Los Baños, Baguio, Tacloban, Miag-ao and Mindanao, as well as the Nine Muses (Ang Mga Diwata ng Sining) in U.P. Diliman, among others.
