The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) is the premiere showcase of the arts in the Philippines. Founded in 1969, the CCP has been producing and presenting music, dance, theater, visual arts, literary, cinematic and design events from the Philippines and all over the world for more than forty years. Its nine resident companies, namely, Ballet Philippines, Philippine Ballet Theater, Tanghalang Pilipino, Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group, the Bayanihan Philippine National Folk Dance Company, Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, UST Symphony Orchestra, Philippine Madrigal Singers and the National Music Competition for Young Artists Foundation (NAMCYA) present a regular season of productions, workshops and outreach performances.

The Arts Education Department encourages the growth of aspiring artists, arts managers and new audiences through master classes, workshops, and online educational resource. The Cultural Exchange Department supports the development of satellite venues in select cities all over the country. The Production and Exhibition Department advances the practice in technical theater and design, and takes the lead in the professionalization of stagecraft and venue management in the country. The Cultural Content Department digitizes the cultural content of the Center and designs interactive portals to make this available to students, teachers, and enthusiasts in the world wide web.

With the Assets Development Program, the CCP is poised to redevelop its sixty hectare property as a major cultural and eco-tourism destination in the Asia-Pacific region. The CCP also belongs to various international organizations such as the Association of Asia-Pacific Performing Arts Center (AAPAC), the Conseil International des Organisations de Festivals de Folklore et d’Arts Traditionnels (CIOFF), the World Dance Alliance (WDA), the International Theater Institute (ITI), the Asian Theater Alliance (ATA), the ASEAN Committee on Culture and Information (ASEAN COCI), the ASEAN Korea Traditional Music Orchestra (AKTMO), among many others. Through these international network and exchange programs Filipino artists have been able to engage with their international counterparts and local audiences have been able to experience the arts and culture from the Asia Pacific and all over the world. It has been said that a journey begins with a single step. But in the world of arts, that single step is a journey with no end. Such is the role of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) when it started as an institution of the arts 45 years ago.

While the year 2014 was a milestone year for the CCP, it never wavers in its commitment and dedication to the development and promotion of arts and culture in every nook and cranny of the country. Its many major projects including its outreach and training programs had been prioritized to reach our depressed and disadvantaged communities. Our Sining ay Buhay, Buhay ay Sining program featured not only our most prominent regional cultural groups but also a special participation of the traditional masters and the indigenous children of our country. Our Arts Therapy Program is also a continuing process as part of our devotion to make the arts matter to different sectors of the communities which suffered disasters, calamities, and even armed conflicts. This year, our arts education team brought its Sining Galing Arts Therapy workshop to the survivors of “Yolanda” with public school teachers of Basey and Marabut, Samar and Tacloban City. This workshop was instrumental in the desire of teachers and their students to move forward and go on with their lives. This is made possible with local community partnerships of arts and non-arts organizations.

Through the years, the CCP is committed to continuing the proud tradition as a purpose-led organization to call on the great scope and diversity of our worldwide talents and abilities to assist those who aspire to be an artist or an arts advocate. This we called upon our great artists to hone and nurture aspiring artists and audiences in a series of workshops, artists and curator talks, masterclasses, forums, plenary sessions, and a string of collaborative projects.

In order to broaden public participation and further strengthen linkages and cooperation in

MESSAGE the arts, for the first time, the CCP sealed its affiliation with nine (9) regional partners by

formalizing its cooperation as the CCP’s Regional Art Centers (RAC) and/or University Art Associates (UAA) thru a Three-Year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with our city- partners in Baguio, Batangas, Bacolod, Iloilo, Dumaguete, Iligan, Tagum, Bulacan, and the Arts and Sciences Educator’s Association- Culture and the Arts Region X (ASEACA).

We know that the arts have crucial impact in our economy and are an important catalyst for learning, discovery and for its role in enabling our students and even out of school- youths to succeed in work and in life. That’s why the Sining sa Eskwela program aspires to provide participation in a variety of arts experiences and trained our teachers to learn in the arts, through the arts and about the arts.

CHAIRMAN’S With all the vast art collection of performances, events, projects, and collaborations with great artists and reflecting the many threads that comprise the cultural and aesthetic unique fabric of our country, it is about time to preserve the heritage and the nation’s artistic achievements in a new and enhanced Encyclopedia of Philippine Art, the most authoritative and comprehensive source of information on Philippine arts covering the peoples of the Philippines and its artforms. The new 12-volume print and digital encyclopedia will come with additional images, audio and video clips and navigational tools designed for students and educators, and will provide the public with access to the Philippines’ cultural heritage. In the homefront, the CCP partnered with other government agencies in its cost-cutting measures to achieve efficiency, reliability and optimized the use of physical and financial resources. We try to deliver our strategic priorities to drive financial and physical performance and create art values to our clients and viewers. This is our promise to our employees and to all our stakeholders who have placed their confidence and trust in us all these years in the name of the arts.

Although 2014 was a challenging year in several aspects of our artistic and administrative

MESSAGE plans, we remained focused on our mission and strategic objectives. As a result, our initiatives delivered encouraging results with excellent productions, eminent art participants, lifelong collaborations with international artists and artist-groups, and an unprecedented increase in our audience attendance and beneficiaries. The outcome despite economic difficulties and volatile markets, reaffirmed my confidence that arts and culture still thrive.

Finally, I would like to thank all our officials and employees who have and had been a part and parcel of the CCP throughout its 45 years. We are truly grateful for your unceasing devotion to arts and culture. Through all the challenges you endure, you remained loyal to CCP with the greatest hope for a better future for every individual, every family, and every community, with a single purpose of making arts matter in the life of every Filipino.

Francisco Feliciano was known for propagating “Asianness” in his works. He combined Filipino culture and the Western musical idiom in his operas, ballets, orchestral works and hymns. Feliciano’s philiosophy in music was multiplied through his lifelong mission of propagating a new language for religious music, more realistically fulfilled by his numerous students at the Asian Institute for Liturgy and Music, which he founded in 1981.

As a performer, Feliciano also brought the Philippines at par with the rest of the European and American worlds. He was invited to conduct the major orchestras of Europe and America, most especially in Asia, a strong indication that his conducting abilities were respected by his western counterparts. His nationalism was highly evident in all of these endeavors because he would insist to always include at least one Filipino composition in his program.

Garcia explicitly makes use of nature in his paintings to signify the concept of growth. He explains that for him, as the plants grow, so does he. As nature flourishes, so does man. In Passage of Time, Garcia stays true to his method of depicting past events as paintings, but there is also the bigger concept of his development as a person and the changes he has gone through. Garcia says that the sole purpose of his art is for himself, and how he wants to focus on making his art better. It is a selfish goal, but one the artist feels is important for society in the long run.

•PLATA FLORA No. of artworks exhibited: 32 framed repousse No. of artist: 1 No. of Audience/guests: 252 Exhibit Opening 41; 4F Hallway Gallery; 15 May 2014, 6:00p.m. Name of Artists: Jandy A. Carvajal Venue/Date/Time: Pasilyo V. Edades (4F Hallway Gallery);15 May - 12, July 2014; Exhibit Opening: 15 May 2014, 6:00 p.m.

Description: An exhibit of the time-honored art of repoussé, which is embossing metal sheets. The Philippines has remarkable examples of repoussé: santo accessories and carozas, the decoration on kalesa coaches, and surviving pre-Hispanic gold “death masks.” For this particular exhibition, artist Joseph Andrew Carvajal makes use of salvaged aluminum, an inexpensive and more accessible alternative to the materials traditionally used for repoussé.

•UNANG AGOS No. of artworks exhibited: 10 framed illustrations, 2 installations No. of artist: 3 No. of Audience/guests: 165 Exhibit Opening 21; 2F Hallway Gallery; 27 May 2014, 6:00p.m. Name of Artists: Zeus Bascon, Sergio Bumatay III, Mica Cabildo Venue/Date/Time: Pasilyo V. Manansala (2F Hallway Gallery); 22 May – 29 June 2014

Description: Unang Agos, Filipino for “first stream/current”, is the first of a series of exhibitions by Outlooke Pointe Foundation (OPF) Artist Summit participants. For this exhibition, artists Zeus Bascon, Sergio Bumatay III and Mica Cabildo immediately took to the exhibit venue. They chose to focus on the site of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, with its rich history and aesthetic brilliance. Exhibiting in the Pasilyo Vicente Manansala, with its view of the Roxas Blvd. and the adjacent Manila Bay, finds both merit and contemplation in the three young artists, Bascon, Bumatay, and Cabildo, different as their artistic tendencies are, somehow all found inspiration in the materials that burdened them as their work progressed. Making use of found objects, religious adornments, glass, rope, wood, and light, each of the artists struggled with the historical weight and internal meanings of their varied media. Seen together, the final artworks crate an exhibit that questions the meaning of art, history, significance, and identity.

Unang Agos is an exploration of OPF’s enduring vision of constantly seeing things with a new perspective, of expressing passion for the nation through creative expression that eludes any labels traditionally attributed to art.

•SETTING No. of artworks exhibited: 1 installation No. of artist: 1 No. of Audience/guests: 150 Exhibit Opening 44; 2F Hallway Gall; 29 May 2014, 6:00p.m. Name of Artists: Felix Bacolor Venue/Date/Time: Bulwagang F. Amorsolo (Small Gallery); 29 May – 13 July 2014

Stand fans were set to simulate ripples on the water.

•HCYONZON: HUGO YONZON RETROSPECTIVE No. of artworks exhibited: 41 paintings No. of artist: 1 No. of Audience/guests: 530 Exhibit Opening 141 (94%); Main Gallery; 6 June 2014, 6:00 p.m. Name of Artist: Hugo Yonzon Venue/Date: Bulwagang J. Luna (Main Gallery); 6 June - 6 July 2014

Description: Hugo Yonzon Jr. (May 24, 1924 - October 17, 1994) is one of the major artists in post-war Philippine modernist painting. His works in this exhibition, spanning from 1948 to 1994, are mostly in oil, his preferred medium. The viewer might be surprised at the variety of styles in this selection of artworks, chosen at random, owing to the artist’s predisposition to explore rendering techniques and realistic interpretation. These were not in phases. Yonzon would go back and forth between his different approaches, creating milestone works. What is constant in his works is the subject matter — the ordinary people: farmers, fishermen, karetela drivers, and the vendors. To complete the story telling, they are presented within the narrative of myths and history.

Description: Using the artist’s own photographic images as a takeoff point for compositional adventures, this exhibition presents a series of printed digital collages grounded on abstract principles of the absolute and the timeless—inspired by the modern tradition of the spiritual in non-objective art. Photographic features are unmoored from their connections to the recognizable world through a series of digital transformations and become raw abstract materials open to further manipulation in a process marked by chance and improvisation.

Description: The exhibition is a record of things that that the artist has explored and created as a child which he continuously investigates and draws inspiration from.

Crispin (Cris) Villanueva Jr. graduated Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines in 1990. Before that, in 1983 he finished Bachelor of Arts in Political Science at the Philippine Christian University.

Description: A collaborative effort of documenting works by members of the Pilipinas Street Plan (PSP) that are currently on public display. It is an exhibit of PSP’s physical analogue actions, digitally photographed. Inspired by their belief that art and self-expression is not only for the “fortunate” people, that art can be seen everywhere and not only in galleries, this will be PSP’s way of sharing their art, executed with pure passion, and responding to their member’s basic need to create for the public. Participating artists from Manila include Chill, Epjey, Egg Fiasco, Exld, Analog, Okto, Trip63, Geloy,Piss, Bato, Nemo, Quiccs, Blic, Kookoo, Vermonyo, Boy Agimat and A.lien.

Mark Salvatus aka Boy Agimat, co-founded the Manila Street Plan with Okto and Deformindustry (Defs) in 2006. The group was formed when these artists, who are into stickers as a form of street art, gathered with other artists who create street art and graffiti. Other artists from other areas in the Philippines wanted to be part of the group, prompting them to change their name to Pilipinas Street Plan.

•CINEMALAYA X: A DECADE OF CONNECTING DIMENSIONS EXHIBITS No. of artworks exhibited: 25 film posters, 1 iconic item and still shot ] for every film; 26 portraits (filmmakers); 214 film posters No. of artists: 2 No. of Audience/guests: c/o Cinemalaya Venue/Date: Bulwagang Carlos V. Francisco (Little Theater Lobby), Bulwagang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater Lobby), Pasilyo Vicente Manansala (2F Hallway Gallery), Bulwagang Juan Luna (Main Gallery), 1-10 August 2014

Description: To celebrate the first decade of Cinemalaya, the CCP presented various exhibitions to highlight the growth and achievements of the first independent film festival in the country. The Bulwagang Carlos V. Francisco (Little Theater Lobby) had an exhibition of posters, photos and memorabilia from the 2014 competition films while the Bulwagang Nicanor Abelardo (Main Theater Lobby) hosted the annual exhibition of portraits of the year’s filmmakers, photographed by the renowned Jun de Leon. The Festival has encouraged, supported and promoted the production of 118 full feature and 96 short films in the New Breed and Directors’ Showcase categories from 2005 to 2014. These competition films have been promoted through outstanding trailers and posters created by the directors themselves or by some of the country’s leading designers and artists. The Pasilyo Vicente Manansala (2F Hallway Gallery) exhibition is a tribute to the filmmakers and designers who gave us exceptional visual representations of the Cinemalaya films for the first ten years of the Festival while the Bulwagang Juan Luna (Main Gallery) was converted into a lounge-cum-viewing room where interactive and multi-media displays allowed visitors to access movie trailer from the ten years of the festival while having coffee and relaxing in stylish interiors, in partnership with CITEM and the Philippine School of Interior Design.

•“WHAT DOES IT ALL MATTER, AS LONG AS THE WOUNDS FIT THE ARROWS?” A TRIBUTE TO ROBERTO CHABET No. of artworks exhibited: 120 artworks No. of artists: 77 No. of Audience/guests: 2,265 Exhibit Opening 61, Bulwagang J. Luna; 30 August 2014, 4:00 p.m. Venue/Date: Bulwagang J. Luna (Main Gallery), Pasilyo G. Tolentino (3F Hallway Gallery), Bulwagang F. Amorsolo (Small Gallery), and Pasilyo V. Edades (4th Floor Hallway); 30 August - 26 October 2014

Description: “What does it all matter, as long as the wounds fit the arrows?” a variation of Franz Kafka’s entry in his diary, serves as a cryptic title for a sprawling group exhibition at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in memory of pioneering Filipino artist, teacher, curator, and CCP’s founding museum director Roberto Chabet (1937-2013). Hailed as the father of Philippine conceptual art, Chabet is recognized for introducing an alternative view of art in the country in the 60s with his distinct use of everyday common materials that examined the nature of art.

Curated by artists Nilo Ilarde and Ringo Bunoan, “What does it all matter, as long as the wounds fit the arrows?” featured a wide range of works by 75 contemporary Filipino artists who were mentored by Chabet mainly at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts, where he taught from 1971-2002. The exhibition charts the multiple trajectories that emerged from his classroom. Similar to Chabet’s work, it purposefully resists a singular linear methodology or an easy summation; rather it proposed an open constellation of diverse forms, themes, and styles that are ostensibly messy, disordered, and conflicting yet still in alignment with one another. Juxtaposed together to spur dialogues, tangents, and tensions, the works in the exhibition disclose a score of narratives that lend viability and vibrancy to Philippine contemporary art.

Description: A solo exhibit by 13 Artists Awardee Mark Salvatus, featured three new works, two of which are ongoing projects that will be shown for the first time. Pressure is an installation work composed of air sickness bags that the artist collects in his constant travels locally and internationally. Salvatus presents the bags as ephemeras with his breath inside. Pure, an installation composed of video and found objects, is about water, bottled mineral water, in particular, and how it is now a universal and basic need which can be bought anywhere. For this project, the artist bought bottled water in different countries and poured its contents into a nearby river. The video component of Pure features short documentations of him pouring water into the rivers, which will accumulate into one video series as the project progresses. Finally, The Land examines the meaning and symbolism of the camouflage pattern in contrast to how it is often used and regarded. A floor installation uses the camouflage pattern to depict a small mountain range running from end to end of the hallway gallery. All three projects are all about collecting, about the familiar and the everyday, and how the artist can put them in a different context. He presents these three works in Latitudes as “three different short stories without a definite plot.”

Description: Relative to Filipino’s penchant for diligence, process is integral to Ged Merino’s practice as he employs unconventional methods of image-making. His textile-based works are stitched prints sourced out by rubbing, hammering and scratching onto any surface with texture from among the scattered objects, walls, streets and pavements of his neighborhood in Sunnyside Queens, New York. For the artist, it is a way of collecting artifacts from people’s lives, a sort of archaeological expedition where he sought to record traces of living and thus preserving memories as links to the otherwise forgotten existences, however banal they may have been.

Francisco; 11 December 2014, 6:00 p.m. Venue/Date: Bulwagang C. V. Francisco (Little Theater Lobby); 11 December 2014 - 18 January 2015

Description: Neil Pasilan is a self-taught artist who hails from Bacolod City. He started making art as a young man, when he would spend his days sculpting figures out of discarded clay. Twenty years later, Pasilan now focuses on painting and mixed media works, but still cannot seem to exorcise his affinity for terra cotta. Along the Way is composed of eight mixed media paintings and five sculptures rooted in terra cotta. Pasilan’s paintings are made in his signature naïve style of rough figures with guised faces. Their surroundings vary as he shows familiar city scenes interspersed with landscapes from his own memory.

Spiritual and hopeful existential themes are important to Pasilan as he believes that it is a way for him to give back to art and his way of assigning value to his work. The artist is a social realist at his core, but one who relies on introspection and his own skills and personal contributions to make change.

A one-day open house festival held annually at the CCP, the Pasinaya is the biggest multi arts festival in the Philippines featuring the participation of thousands of artists and hundreds of artistic and cultural groups. It offered to the public a unique “Pay what you can, See all you can” donation scheme the opportunity to enjoy a sneak preview of the CCP Performance Season.

More than 3,000 artists and 300 institution-based, community-based and school-based artistic groups participated in the 2014 CCP Pasinaya.

Description: Conducted by Arco Renz who studied dance, theatre, and literature in Berlin and Paris and graduated as one of the first generation of graduates of Anne Teresa De Keermaekers’ P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. Since the establishment of Kobalt Works in 2000, Arco Renz has developed a successful artistic track, creating performances as well as developing trans-cultural and multidisciplinary research and exchange programs. Arco Renz’s productions reveal an intense physicality and explore the emotional force of abstraction. In his creations, he consistently broadens the principles of Abstract Dramaturgy to light, sound and multimedia interfaces. A central focus within Arco Renz’ specific choreographic idiom is the comparative study of traditional performing arts, in particular of Asia and Europe. His creations go beyond pure, formal dance, and display, “a graceful expressionism that can be situated somewhere between the German expressionist films of the 1920’s and traditional Eastern dance of theatre forms.

It is the hope that this event would initiate further dialogue on dramaturgy, and perhaps open up possibilities of dramaturgy-in-practice.

Francisco Feliciano was known for propagating “Asianness” in his works. He combined Filipino culture and the Western musical idiom in his operas, ballets, orchestral works and hymns. Feliciano’s philiosophy in music was multiplied through his lifelong mission of propagating a new language for religious music, more realistically fulfilled by his numerous students at the Asian Institute for Liturgy and Music, which he founded in 1981.

As a performer, Feliciano also brought the Philippines at par with the rest of the European and American worlds. He was invited to conduct the major orchestras of Europe and America, most especially in Asia, a strong indication that his conducting abilities were respected by his western counterparts. His nationalism was highly evident in all of these endeavors because he would insist to always include at least one Filipino composition in his program.

D. INCOME AND EXPENDITURES

Through its intense effort to surpass its income target and reduce expenses to the barest minimum, the Center registered a surplus of P 28.03M. This favorable result could be highly attributed to the following:

•Strong representations were made with the DBM, Congress, and Senate to ensure that sufficient amount of Government Subsidy is approved to address the needs of the Center. Specifically, the Appropriations to CCP includes budget for the following projects such as 500 TR Chiller, installation of new carpet, renovation of comfort rooms, Encyclopedia of Philippine Arts.

•Persistent follow ups made with the DBM and BTr to ensure that the entire amount of government subsidy of P260.86 is released on time.

•The showing of the “WICKED” at the CCP Main Theater raised the Total Operating Income by P22.45M, while the actual amount of P113.3M was generated mainly from the lease of land and office spaces.

•Additional personnel were hired only for vital and sensitive positions, which brought down Personnel Services Expenses to P 153.77M or 4% lower than the budget.

•Cost-cutting measures (such as maintaining a very lean number of security and janitorial personnel, light and water conservation, securing exchange deals) were always in place to trim down MOOE to P244.52M. This could be attested by the dramatic decrease in water consumption from P17.8M(2012), P12.9M(2013), to 6.1M (2014). DBM Approved (Internal) CCP BOARD OF TRUSTEES
