https://my-juicy.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/VPH_0423_COVER_DIGITAL-scaled.webp20482560The call for Whang-Od's inclusion as a national artist has been ongoing for years. Advocates argue that her cultural contributions, particularly in the traditional art of tattooing (mambabatok), deserve recognition. Despite this, NCCA Chairman Victorino Manalo clarified that Whang-Od's craft falls under the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA) and not the National Artist Award. The GAMABA is the National Living Treasures Award, acknowledging contributions to the country's cultural heritage.
