Premiered on 26 October, Dayaw invites viewers to embark on a journey through the vibrant landscape of Philippine cultural heritage. A project of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), Dayaw is made possible through the support of Senator Legarda, who has championed the preservation and promotion of Filipino ingenuity and the country’s arts, culture and traditions.
