    Francisca Reyes Aquino

    Francisca Reyes Aquino was born on March 9, 1899


    in Lolomboy, Bocaue, Bulacan to Filipe Reyes and Juliana
    Santos Reyes and the eldest among three children. She
    finished her Bachelor of Science in Education degree in
    1924 from the University of the Philippines and obtained
    her High School Teacher's Certificate in 1923.

    From 1921-1923, Francisca traveled to remote


    communities in Central and Northern Luzon in search for
    folk dances to use in her Physical Education class. She continued gathering folk
    dances, songs, and games for her master's thesis at the University of the
    Philippines in 1926. She revised her work in 1927, and published it as Philippine
    Folk Dances and Games. Then she was asked to chair a committee at the
    university that would go to the most remote areas of the Philippines to gather
    material directly from the old people who used to dance them in their younger
    days.

    In 1934, Francisca married Professor Ramon P. Tolentino, Jr., then


    Assistant Director of the Department of Physical Education but after four and
    half years of a close personal and professional partnership,her husband died in
    1939.

    In 1947, she married Serafin Aquino, secretary-treasurer of the Philippine


    Amateur Athletic Federation, an enthusiastic collaborator in presentation of his
    wife's work. That same year, Frances Reyes Aquino became the superintendent
    of Physical Education, Bureau of Public Schools. She was awarded a Doctor of
    Sciences degree in Physical Education, Honoris Causa, from Boston University
    and, in 1959, a Doctor of Humanities, Honoris Causa, from Far Eastern
    University.

    She was named National Artist for her contributions in dance in 1973, the
    very first woman to receive a National Artist Award. She traveled the
    Philippines to observe and record dances and formed various dance troupes,
    including the Filipiniana Dance Troupe. She also organized the Filipiniana Folk
    Dance Troupe which performed for servicemen as a part of the United States
    Army Special Services for seven months in 1945. In 1949, Dr. Reyes Aquino
    founded the Philippine Folk Dance Society to bring together physical education
    students, teachers, administrators and individuals interested in folk dancing.

    Dr. Reyes Aquino received the "Philippine Republic Award of Merit" for
    her untiring efforts in collecting, compiling, and propagating folk dances, and for
    her outstanding contribution to the advancement of Filipino culture in the field
    of dance. Other awards include the Cultural Award, UNESCO of the Philippines;
    the Rizal Pro-Patria Award; certificate of merit Bulacan Teachers Association; the
    Ramón Magsaysay Award, and an award for outstanding alumna, College of
    Education, University of the Philippines.

    Aquino was the author of Philippine Folk Dances and Games, which focused
    on studying native Philippine dances. Her efforts led to the popularization of
    Philippine folk dances. She was a recipient of the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay
    Award for government service in 1962.

    Active in organizations whose programs related to her work, Dr. Reyes Aquino
    was a member of the Women's Athletic Committee of the Philippine Amateur
    Athletic Federation from 1940 to 1954 and again in 1955 to 1956. She also served
    on the Curriculum Committee of the National College of Physical Education, the
    National YMCA Board in 1945 and 1946, the Entertainment Committee of the
    International Society for Education in 1960, and as a member of the United
    Nations Association of the Philippines from 1956 until her death in 1984.
