Not only is it a means of communicating thoughts and ideas, but it forges friendships, cultural ties, and economic relationships. The citizens of Philippines deserve a quality of life that includes the nurturing and expressive aspects of the arts. The arts humanize community, and give us inspiration and opportunities to connect as people. The arts also hold great financial and economic benefit for this country, as a magnet for tourism and industry for our citizens. It behooves the city administration to create a supportive atmosphere for the arts, and to support cultural entrepreneurship, and artists’ ability to earn a decent living. In so doing, the city administration can not only enhance the life experiences available here, but also tap the revenue streams created by the arts and cultural economic impact.
