Why are the GAMABA Artists important?

GAMABA Artists not just simply produce artistic products but they also rekindle local communities’ artistic traditions. Each artwork depicts and promotes the culture of their communities and it helps in revitalizing the essence of the locals’ traditions and prevents its extinction. These artists are the heroes of their respective communities as well as the Philippines because they continue to give values on their culture and most especially they contribute to the country’s intangible cultural heritage. Because of globalization, it is inevitable that many of us would eventually forget our original core culture, making the existence of GAMABA artists essential.
