Promoting Philippine Culture and
3 Values
4 Culture is a very dynamic and multi-dimensional aspect of development as it spans and intersects
5 with various sectors and social groups. More than these intersections, it is also an interface of the
6 past and the present that influence how people move forward into the future. It is the identity of
7 societies, where way of life is a result of their histories, stories, experiences, knowledge, beliefs,
8 and traditions. Values on the other hand, is the basis of people’s choices and is defined as a belief

10 undesirable, acceptable or unacceptable. Having a set of values that is shared within a society

23 support for creative industries, increasing awareness on the rights of indigenous peoples and doing other
24 cultural promotion activities, strengthening documentation and monitoring of ongoing programs,
25 addressing data gaps, continuing efforts at heritage conservation.
26 To address inadequacies in the current governance framework, sustainable institutional structures
27 and mechanisms for cultural development are imperative.
28 In 2017, culture and the arts were added into the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) assessment
29 criteria as among the “+1” options for LGUs under the “4+1” assessment but was later modified by the
30 Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) into “ALL-IN”, elevating the status of culture
31 components as required areas.
32 Local culture and arts councils (LCACs) were established in 426 out of 1,715 LGUs and these need to fully
33 exercise their functions as mandated by the DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2017-133. Only 9 percent
