P100, 000 and P10, 000 monthly stipends for life.
2. In consonance with the provision of Republic Act No. 7355, which states that “the monetary
grant may be increased whenever circumstances so warrant,” the NCCA board approved an
additional monthly personal allowance of P14, 000 for the awardees as well as a maximum
cumulative amount of P750, 000 medical and hospitalization benefits annually similar to that
received by the National Artists and funeral assistance/tribute fit for a National Living Treasure.
REFLECTION:
The National Living Treasure Award and the National Artist Award are very similar in terms of benefits.
They are comparable in terms of providing the awardee with a large sum of money as well as the
assurance of receiving benefits even after death. The monetary award given to the recipient and the
design of the medal differ.
CRITERIA FOR NATIONAL LIVING TREASURE
To become a National Living Treasure, the candidate must possess the following qualifications:
1. Is an inhabitant of an indigenous/traditional cultural community anywhere in the Philippines

that has preserved indigenous customs, beliefs, rituals and traditions and/or has syncretized
whatever external elements that have influenced it.
2. Must have engaged in a folk art tradition that has been in existence and documented for at least
50 years.
3. Must have consistently performed or produced over a significant period, works of superior and
distinctive quality.
4. Must possess a mastery of tools and materials needed by the art, and must have an established
reputation in the art as master and maker of works of extraordinary technical quality.
5. Must have passed on and/or will pass on to other members of the community their skills in the
folk art for which the community is traditionally known.
A traditional artist who possesses all the qualities of a Manlilikha ng Bayan candidate, but due to age or
infirmity has left them incapable of teaching further their craft, may still be recognized if:
1. Had created a significant body of works and/or has consistently displayed excellence in the
practice of their art, thus achieving important contributions for its development.
2. Has been instrumental in the revitalization of their community’s artistic tradition.
3. Has passed on to the other members of the community skills in the folk art for which the
community is traditionally known.
4. Community has recognized them as master and teacher of their craft
REFLECTION:
The National Living Treasure Award and National Artist Award are quite similar in terms of qualification;
both require the artist to excel in his or her field while contributing something to the country,
particularly to the younger generation, that it may be inspired to do or pursue in that specific field of
excellence; the difference is that a National Living Treasure Award seeks traditional folk artists, whereas
the national artist award is not very picky, meaning that as long as someone is a Filipino Citizen, you’re
more likely to receive such an award. In addition to that The National Living Treasure Award focuses
more on folk arts whereas the National Artist Award focuses more on generalize fields of arts. In
conclusion, A simple contrast between the two would say that the National Artist Award is given to
masters of the fine arts and the like, while the GAMABA is given to the artists of indigenous and ethnic
art.
