He has worked on more than 300 in art, film, and music. Salvador Bernal became a National artist in 2003.
Bernal is considered as the “Father of Philippine Theatre Design” because he pioneered the creative use of native materials such as bamboo, abaca fiber, hemp twine, rattan chain links, and gauze cacha, giving each production a unique look.
Some of his works are Rajah Sulayman, Abaniko, La Traviata, Tomaneg at Aniway and Pagkahaba-haba man ng Prusisyon sa Simbahan din ang Tuloy (Much Ado About Nothing).
