The Philippines participated in the art competitions of the Summer Olympics, which were held as part of the Games until 1948. This marked the final edition in which art competitions were included, making the Philippines' involvement a part of Olympic history. In the 1948 Games, Filipino artists Graciano Nepomuceno,[9] a renowned sculptor, and Hernando Ocampo,[10] an esteemed painter, represented the country. Nepomuceno and Ocampo contributed to showcasing the Philippines' rich cultural heritage on an international stage through their artistic talents. Their participation highlighted the country's engagement not only in athletic pursuits but also in the promotion of arts within the global Olympic movement
