PEP: CCP pays tribute to Imelda on its 40th year
This year marks the 40th founding anniversary of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). The year-round celebration kicks off at the CCP Pasinaya Open House Festival on Feb. 1, which coincides with National Arts Month.
A special presentation to the press took place last Jan. 14, at the CCP Main Theater. The Center’s calendar of events for 2009 and its new logo with the slogan “Life Begins Anew” were launched during the event.
“The CCP for the last four decades has helped discover, nurture and support Filipino artists. I think that’s one of the major achievements of the CCP,” president and artistic director Nestor Jardin proudly said during the launching.
He pointed out that the institution’s various projects through the years have “helped create an outstanding body of original Filipino work that speak of us as a nation and has helped define our national identity.”
