This Philippine Creative Industries Month, support Filipino creativity!

In this workshop led by the Samahang Kartunista ng Pilipinas, teenagers are enjoined to exercise their creativity and develop foundational skills in cartooning.

Public secondary schools in the City of Manila will be participating in a whole-day introductory workshop that will feature short lectures on planning and the power of cartoons through hands-on exercises.

The morning session will be dedicated to character design where participants will explore figures, expressions, and appearances while the afternoon session will focus on editorial design and its intricacies.

The nation honors Manlilikha ng Bayan Hadja Sakinur-ain Mugong Delasas on her 72nd Birthday.

Under the Sama skies, Hadja Sakinur-ain Delasas breathes life into the Igal, a traditional dance she has perfected since her youth. Revered by her community as Danda Pandey Ngigal, her movements are woven from the legacy of her mother. Every sway of her body mimics the fluid grace of ocean waters, the darting elegance of fishes, and the soaring freedom of coastal birds, transforming heritage into an evocative, living movement of nature.

With a passion as vibrant as the culture she protects, Hadja Sakinur-ain shares her expertise, casting a light on the essential harmony that binds the danceโ€™s intricate elements together. Her performances are profound acts of devotionโ€”a luminous bridge connecting her ancestors, her family, the Sama community, and the generations of future igal dancers yet to come.

For further insight into the life of MB Delasas, please visit ncca.gov.ph.
