  • 2009 Annual Report
    CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE The year 2009 was our 40th anniversary year. It was a season of joy and remembrance - a rare opportunity to look back at our past and celebrate our achievements over four decades. It was also a time of reflection. We recalled the many and difficult challenges that we faced during the periods when our nation was rocked by political and economic upheavals. It was an occasion to celebrate Philippine art, and we did, with a year long feast of amazing performances, concerts and exhibits that hailed the excellence of Filipino artists and diversity of Filipino culture. Although pomp and controversy marked the beginnings of the CCP, and glitter and glamor were its garb during its early years, the institution has since evolved dramatically. Through conscious and focused effort, we have sought to expand the reach of the CCP, becoming a friendlier and more accessible artistic community, with outreach programs that encourage the music, dance, theater and art innate to us Filipinos in the different provinces of the Philippines. Through workshops, shows, exhibits and various cultural activities, we engaged people with art on a personal level, inspiring reflection, innovation and relevant action. At forty, the CCP remains vibrant. As we look forward to the next decade, we are refreshed and invigorated by the thought that life begins anew. We renew our commitment to champion the cause of Filipino artists and help build a nation of Filipinos who are proud of their unique culture. We are convinced that the arts are a most powerful tool for social transformation. EMILY ABRERA Chairman PRESIDENT’S REPORT The year 2009 was a banner year for the Cultural Center of the Philippines as we celebrated the CCP’s 40th Ruby Anniversary.
