How the Nas Daily Controversy Shed Light on the Exploitation of the Cultural and Creative Industries

Description

Much has been written these days on the controversy surrounding the content creator Nuseir Yassin of Nas Daily and the cultural icon and celebrated master tattoo artist or mambabatok, Whang-Od. As this issue continues to unfold, it has garnered challenges, views, and online comments about our cultures and their commercialization being transformed into goods and services in favor of profit.

However, as I see it, it gives us an opportunity and a much-needed discussion pertaining to some aspects within the Philippine cultural and creative industries (CCIs), particularly cultural expressions as goods and the cultural and creative labor.
