2020 Gawad CCP Para Sa Sining: Liwayway Magazine, Development of Philippine Culture
The Gawad CCP Para sa Sining 2020 for Development of Philippine Culture is bestowed upon Liwayway Magazine. As a cultural institution, Liwayway was no passive witness to history, content to merely reflect the passage of time. At key points and in the exigencies of culture, society, and history, it produced, with courage and steadfastness, significant texts which held up a mirror to the nation’s difficult journey from the American period until the present. Liwayway spread the Filipino language, promoted the novel, short story, and komiks as literary forms, encouraged new writers to reimagine the world, and published works that spoke truths about the Philippine society.
