Which Republic Act established the National Commission for Culture and the Arts?

• A. Republic Act No. 7104
• B. Republic Act No. 7079
• C. Republic Act No. 6728
• D. Republic Act No. 4670

Answer: (A)

Republic Act 7104 created the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, making it the policy‑making and coordinating body for culture and the arts in the Philippines. This act brings together and oversees cultural initiatives across government, providing a unified framework to preserve, develop, and promote Philippine culture, the arts, and heritage. It marked a move from scattered, separate efforts to a coordinated approach that supports artists, cultural institutions, and cultural education. The other laws cited pertain to different topics—campus journalism and general education matters—so they do not establish the NCCA.
