Various Art Forms Found in the Philippines

Arts in the Philippines refer to all the various forms of the arts that
have developed and accumulated in the Philippines from the beginning of
civilization in the country up to the present era. They reflect the range of
artistic influences on the country's culture, including indigenous forms of the
arts, and how these influences have honed the country's arts. These arts are
divided into two distinct branches, namely, traditional arts and non-
traditional arts.
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts, the official
cultural agency of the government of the Philippines, has categorized Filipino
arts into traditional and non-traditional. Each category are split into various
arts, which in turn have sub-categories of their own.
