Mission
• Formulate policies for the development of culture and the arts at the provincial level.
• Implement these policies in coordination with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. National Historical Commission as well affiliated cultural entities both from the private and public sectors.
• Encourage artistic creation with a climate of artistic freedom.
• Develop and promote the Filipino national culture and arts.
• Preserve Filipino cultural heritage.
One sign of a healthy community is its simultaneous ability to preserve and invent its culture — that is, to conserve its history and heritage while developing new expressions for current times. Often, the concept of preservation is interpreted as meaning stagnation when in fact, heritage and history can be the basis for innovation and advancement. It is heritage and history which are frequently essential sources of meaning that give a place character and resonance.
