Referred to as the National Living Treasure, the 'Manlilikha ng Bayan' recognizes Filipino citizens engaged in any traditional art whose skills have reached a high level of technical excellence and have been passed on and widely practiced by the current generation in his/her community with the same degree of technical and artistic competence.
