The Senate on Tuesday adopted a resolution nominating traditional tattoo artist Whang-ud Oggay for the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan (GAMABA) or the National Living Treasures Award for fostering and preserving the traditional tattoo art of Kalinga.
The Senate passed the consolidated resolutions No. 2 by Senator Nancy Binay, and Resolution No. 538 by Senator Sonny Angara.
"Bestowing Whang-ud the GAMABA or the National Living Treasures award does not only recognize the beauty and grace of the ancient art of tattooing, but also ensures that such Filipino heritage will survive and continue to exist," Binay said.
"Her (Whang-ud's) contribution to her native craft, as well as the rarity of her situation, should not go unrecognized, and warrants nomination from this august body," she added.
The resolution said Whang-ud was the only surviving Kalinga traditional tattoo artist with the distinguished title of "mambabatok" or a master tattooist of "batek," or the folk skin inscriptions of Kalinga.
"Whang-ud Oggay was renowned for her batek which she started practicing since her childhood years. She tattooed countless warriors and head-hunters of her tribe that has now garnered both local and international recognition and reverence," Angara said.
"The continuity of the batek is anchored on the well-being of Whang-ud being the last living mambabatok, which necessitates immediate action to preserve the folk art considering Whang-ud's advanced age," the resolution said.
The resolution described batek as traditional body art "distinctively known for its symmetric and intricate designs that detail the valor and bravery of ancient tribal warriors, and is customarily applied through a hand-tapped pricking method using intrinsic instruments such as Carabao horns and fruit thorns."
"The batek survived centuries of foreign influences. The traditional Filipino tattoo art must not disappear and turn extinct due to mere negligence to preserve a significant feature of Philippine culture and identity," the resolution said.
"It is only proper to nominate Whang-ud for the GAMABA or the National Living Treasures Award for her exceptional embodiment of the Filipino's rich heritage, not only to honor her and similar individuals who contribute and enrich the Filipino cultural identity and history, but also to preserve and to further promote traditional folk arts for the benefit of future generations," Angara said.
The GAMABA or the National Living Treasures Award was institutionalized in April 1992 through Republic Act No. 7355. The award recognizes Filipinos, particularly traditional folk artists, "for their contribution to the national heritage through awards, grants, and other forms of recognition."

Examine Your Standpoint
As an example, Feisty Celebrity (FC) as triggered when Talented Star (TS) and her Loveteam Partner (LP) merely walked by him along the corridor of their home station. FC is not easy to miss, as he is, after all very popular and among the prized talents of the network. TS and LP did not even bother to greet him or even nod. It was a wrong move.
FC was so irritated at the snub that he made sure the two would have limited exposure that night. After a song number, TS and LP said something about their project, and that was it. Surprisingly, for the loveteam of TS and LP, such exposure was too short. The two had a movie to promote that could make or break their future together. However, they blew the chance to reach out to a wider crowd by not being mindful of those who could propel them further.
However, that was not the only incident whereby the two behaved like they were the only ones walking around. Controversial Host (CH) lamented that he was snubbed by TS and LP when they were guests at his show. The pair did not bother to greet him at all.
Either TS and LP were not properly briefed as to how they should behave toward other celebrities or they chose to be indifferent. Had the pair been wiser, FC and CH are two of their network’s talents who have a wider reach in all forms of media. One good word for their project, and the followers of FC and CH could have been curious and would have patronized the project of TS and LP.

Have KC Concepcion and Aly Borromeo Ended Their Relationship?

According to a source, Concepcion and Borromeo tried to work things out, but it seems that both are busy with their commitments. Hence, the relationship seems to be on the rocks. While Borromeo is fulfilling his football commitments, Concepcion has been hinting at big projects, endorsements, and a possible comeback. Fans of Concepcion have been hoping to see more of her in mainstream media, but she has not really been on track. A few months ago, Concepcion hinted at a big announcement and speculations ranged from engagement with Borromeo to her pregnancy. However, the following week, a magazine that featured the two of them came out, and thus, quelled any story about them finally facing the altar.
Nonetheless, another angle that is making the rounds is that a third party already got into the picture. Allegedly, the third party is not on the side of Concepcion. Thus, the relationship already has a threat, which could make Borromeo think over matters of the heart.
Still, a breakup would disappoint many fans who thought that Concepcion finally found her Mr. Right. After all, Borromeo endeared himself not only to her fans, but to her family as well. She has also been seen with his family, which made many believe the two will be each other’s forever.
