DAKILA (nobility) — Philippine Collective for Modern Heroism is an organization of
artists and individuals committed to advocating nobility of thought and action among
both their industry peers and their immediate audiences. The core missions of DAKILA are awareness, education, and involvement - to make the public aware of crucial concerns affecting society, to educate both the audience and, more importantly, themselves about pressing social concerns, which should effectively inform the methods of creative expression and to be consistently and dynamically involved in activities geared toward achieving the common good.
We, in DAKILA, believe that …
1. Nobility begins in the mind and ends in action.
2. Nobility knows no social and economic status— all human beings possess an
innate sense of honor and dignity.
3. True nobility is not defined by pedigree or wealth but by one’s actions.
4. Art is one of the noblest human endeavors— the only way of expressing the
inexpressible.
5. Art does not exist in a vacuum. After his own self, the artist has a responsibility
towards the reality that surrounds him.
6. Art may not change the world, but it can change the way we view the world.
For true revolution begins in the imagination.
7. We recognize all those who have sacrificed their lives in the past so that
our freedom and the nobility of the race may live on— we recognize our heroes,
our martyrs, the disciples of the arts who have dedicated themselves to the
truest, noblest cause. We honor them by treading the same path.
The Philippine society is in the midst of a significant upheaval and that as disciples of the creative act, we are not exempted from the responsibility of helping contribute to positive change. Now, more than ever, is the time to be DAKILA.
