Recognition of Yabing Masalon Dulo as Manlilikha ng Bayan

Yabing Masalon Dulo is a member of the Blaan community in Polomolok, South Cotabato.
She was declared Manlilikha ng Bayan (National Living Treasure) under Proclamation No. 126 (s. 2017).
This recognition reflects her dedication to preserving and promoting the Blaan Mabal Tabih tradition, specifically the ikat weaving practice.

Significance of Her Passing

Her death is considered a profound loss to the nation due to her cultural contributions.
The proclamation emphasizes honoring her commitment to the preservation of the Blaan artistic and cultural heritage.

Legal Basis for Mourning Symbols

This provision mandates that the Philippine flag be flown at half-mast on the day of interment of recipients of national orders and decorations.
The law thereby justifies the use of mourning protocol as a sign of respect for Manlilikha ng Bayan recipients.

The official document bears the signatures of the President and the Executive Secretary, Salvador C. Medialdea.
