WHY CULTURE?


Culture defines a people's noble purpose, gives national identity, strengthens their artistic souls, and builds up their hopes for a country that is democratic, prosperous, just and equal.

The Cultural Program of TF-PRG promotes the best of Philippine arts, literature, and education to cultural and academic institutions across the country and the world. Thus we have this blog for everybody to read, comment on and feed with information and reviews.

This blog shall have articles that are conceptual, critical, and promotional of all Philippine cultural products, administration, policies and programs. Our view is to focus attention that is prompt, sustained and high-spirited on cultural issues between and among amateurs, professionals and administrators of cultural groups, events, academes, and all other institutions, concerning the products of artists, writers, thinkers, students, and educators, as well as to increase the number of opportunities for them to develop their fields.

The blog shall draw attention to developments in Philippine culture, including contemporary and indigenous dances; music; theater, plays, and other forms of literature.

We shall always be interested in new and challenging ideas that will bring Philippine and foreign peoples together in debating and discussing issues related to culture. In particular, this blog will raise public interest in the recognition of exceptional artistic and academic accomplishments and the need for public support, material and spiritual, of such endeavors.

We hope you will join us by feeding information, remarks and reviews of the different cultural events that you find happening in your community, or locality.
