This year’s event marks the 31st National Arts Month with the theme “Sining ng Pag-Asa” in recognition of the arts as a source and expression of hope as shown in the creative ways on how the Filipinos respond to the effects of the pandemic, natural calamities, and other social realities, as well as the arts role in improving the Filipino community life.

NCCA Chairman Arsenio Lizaso, in his message, recognized arts as a sign of hope to every Filipino especially during these difficult times.

“Dahil ang sining ay nagmumula sa mga tao, sa mga komunidad,  mga bayan, at  mga relihiyon ng ating bansa and the National Arts Month being the NCCA’s biggest flagship program is an essential platform to cultivate appreciation for the arts and bring a deep sense of respect for our culture and tradition” the NCCA chairman added.
