  Politics again seems to be the basis of much of the objection to the selection of Cecile Guidote Alvarez as National Artist for Theater. Some critics say it violated delicadeza since she is the presidential assistant for culture and the arts and she holds the position of executive director of the National Commission on Culture and the Arts, one of two entities (the other is the Cultural Center of the Philippines) that vet candidates for the National Artist award and therefore, she shouldn't have been considered for it. It should be pointed out that Cecile's name was not included in the first stage of deliberations, so she didn't vote for herself.

  Cecile Alvarez and I invited Abalos to our radio program last Sunday evening and he stressed that there is nothing in the ULAP's setup that prevents a lower-ranking official from leading it.In British Columbia, he notes, even a councilor can head the counterpart umbrella league.It's difficult to begrudge credit to Abalos, who was voted outstanding mayor in 2003 by the Senate and the Department of Interior and Local Government, in partnership with major schools, as he worked hard to get his colleagues' votes.For instance, as City League president he conceptualized and carried out a cross-country caravan to link up the cities, bringing eyeglasses, wheelchairs, medicines, etc.
  
  Abalos, a former congressman, intends to push this networking some more.For instance, he argues that garbage landfill, so controversial in Metro Manila, could be discussed by the various local executives in the regions, e.g., some areas in the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga might welcome the refuse from the northern part of the metropolis to fill up some of their own areas, whereas provinces in Southern Luzon could accommodate refuse from the southern part of the metropolis.Then too, traffic apprehensions could be rationally approached through better coordination among ULAP members, so that a Manilan apprehended in, say, the northern province of Isabela could get his driver's license in the city.
  
  In these times of crisis, the ULAP network should be harnessed more effectively in the alleviation of poverty, the moving of critical commodities to the deprived areas, the lowering of the level of violence and crime, and disaster management.In the face of so many things to do, there's little time for divisiveness.

  I understand that this year, when the committee saw that certain categories were not filled by the NCCA/CCP committee, it nominated Carlo J. Caparas, Cecile Alvarez, couturier Pitoy Moreno and architect Francisco Mañosa.
  ...
  Alvarez, who's also NCCA's executive director, didn't pass through the joint NCCA/CCP committee's screening process; the Honors Committee nominated her upon the recommendation of renowned theater and communications personality James B. Reuter, National Artist Alejandro Roces, Sen.
  ...
  Of this year's four Honors nominees, Alvarez and Caparas have drawn severe political flak from anti-Arroyo artists for their perceived closeness to Arroyo; the intense negative sentiment for Cecile has flowed to NCCA chair Vilma Labrador.

  ...
  As Cecile told media, "Pinagaganda ko raw si Gloria" through her grassroots cultural care-giving. She's also reaping the wrath of the Marcoses (Irene and Imee Marcos joined last Friday's protest rally) because of her and her husband Heherson's anti-Marcos activities during their 13-year exile in the US during the martial law years.
