Philippine International Arts Festival

For 18 years now, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) has been organizing the National Arts Month (NAM) in the month of February with a series of festivities and activities mounted throughout the country celebrating Filipino artistry and promoting the arts and the artists. For 2009, the celebration took a leap by going international under the name Philippine International Arts Festival (PIAF).

All over the country, different arts and culture groups as well as local governments held events for the PIAF with funding and support from the NCCA. With the theme “Ani ng Sining,” the PIAF has evolved from Manila-centered activities to a truly national event with key activities in all three major island groups, Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, involving hundreds of artists from different disciplines of arts and reaching thousands of people from all walks of life and all over the world.  (http://www.ncca.gov.ph/about-ncca/nam09/nam09.php)
