The Philippine Leaf Awards, a prestigious award-giving organization for the arts and culture sector, has recently announced its finalists for the competitive categories and awardees for the non-competitive categories in Theater, Music, Dance, and Fashion. It was followed by the unveiling of the Sonny O. Valencia LEAF Presidential Emeritus Awardees for “Hero of the Pandemic,” the Golden LEAF Presidential Awardees, and the Beacons of Culture and Arts. The series of announcements marks a significant milestone in celebrating the exceptional talents and diverse cultural heritage of the Philippines.
