The National Artist Award is the highest award given to an artist with all the benefits and prestige due to a man of arts. National Artists are respected not just by their own ranks, but by the people, for their talent and contribution. But this time, the award was tainted with politics and political pay offs the Arroyo admistration is known for.
The growing protest against the award given by Mrs. Arroyo to four awardee does not represent the peoples objection on their (the awardee's) contribution to arts and literature, it merely shows the apparent and ever diminishing trust and confidence of the people on the presidency of Mrs. Arroyo.
