ISA ang yumaong mentor, writer, director na si Armando “Bing” Lao sa idineklarang National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts kabilang ang iba pa sa ibang larangan.
Isa siyang premyadong screen writer. Co-screenwriter ng premyadong director na si Brilliante Mendoza sa movie niyang Kinatay; Jeffrey Jeturian’s Kubrador at Pila Balde; at Chito Rono’s Suntok sa Buwan.
His greatest legacy is not only the stories he created but the storytellers he shaped. Ang tinutukoy ng director ay ang Found Story of School of Thought na hinubog niya.
Marami pang kuwentong pampelikula si Lao at magagaling na director na nakasama.
Ang ilan pang idineklarang National Artists ay sina Gabby Formoso—Architecture; Nonoy Froilan—Dance; Patis Tesoro—Fashion Design; Gregorio Brilliantes—Literature; Nicanor Tiongson—Literature; Alfredo Buenaventura—Music; Teddy Hilado—Theater; Imelda -Cajipe Endaya—Visual Arts; Nunelucio Alvarado—Visual Arts.
Maraming matatanggap na benepisyo ang hinirang na National Artist.
