MANILA (Sept. 13) — Survivors of martial law are insulted and progressive artists and teachers are enraged after the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) paid a tribute to former first lady Imelda Marcos, the founder of the center.
Entitled “Seven Arts, One Imelda,” the invitational gala event was held Friday, 8 p.m. at the CCP’s Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo. According to a press release on the CCP website, the tribute “extols the seven arts through signature pieces created during the period of Imelda’s patronage.” The tribute is one of the highlights of the CCP’s celebration of its 40th anniversary.
