The cultural air is rife again with suggestions and proposals to make this and that personality to be the next National Artist. I believe the folk group Asin deserves to be honored with a National Artist distinction.

At the height of their musical powers and mass popularity, Asin was originally composed of Lolita Carbon, Cesar “Saro” Bañares, Jr., and Mike Pillora, Jr. with Pendong Aban Jr. joining in a later incarnation. Signed to a major local label, that ensemble recorded at least four albums that made an impact on OPM in terms of mirroring the pressing concerns of the greater population even as they played original music that hardly fits in with contemporary standards.

Artists who through the content and form of their works have contributed in building a Filipino sense of nationhoodLolit, Saro et, al’s enduring legacy to OPM lies in their contributions to the original Asin band they helped organize and propel to wider popularity to a mass audience.

Artists who have created a substantial and significant body of works and/or consistently displayed excellence in the practice of their art form thus, enriching artistic expression or style. In at least three commercially successful albums, Asin’s ‘new’ music and ‘alternative” mindset served as an outlet to reflect on the pressing concerns of students, young professionals, and rural folks who felt sidelined by society in general.
