We, in DAKILA, believe that . . .
Nobility begins in the mind and ends in action.
Nobility knows no social and economic status— all human beings possess an innate sense of honor and dignity.
True nobility is not defined by pedigree or wealth but by one’s actions.
Art is one of the noblest human endeavors— the only way of expressing the inexpressible.
Art does not exist in a vacuum. After his own self, the artist has a responsibility towards the reality that surrounds him.
Art may not change the world, but it can change the way we view the world. For true revolution begins in the imagination.
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.
