A National Treasure
Meet Eduardo Tubig Mutuc of Apalit, Pampanga, the country's finest metal craftsman and a National Commission for Culture and the Arts National Living Treasure recipient.
Learn more about Tatay Eddie's mastery of the age-old metal craft known locally as "pinukpuk," which involves stamping designs on metal sheets and using them as embellishments in religious items such as altar tables, candelabras, and tabernacles.
Craftmanship begins with respect for one's tools and the medium...The only way to improve one's skills is to immerse oneself, learn the technique, and practice. Only in perfecting one's craft can there be a real reward.
