i agree with 100% in your views on this, clearly the award giving body has gone to the birds, i guess i need not to argue more, Pinas nga eh, what do you expect…

Much respect….

Why can’t the guy accept the fact that his komiks work is TOTALLY devoid of artistic merit and his films can be categorized as the worst ones in the world? Why is he kidding himself? Why insist on making look like a stupid goof, someone trying so hard to be given an honor, and get it BY HOOK OR BY CROOK!

Also, since every movie he makes he invokes God, prayer, and so on in the titles, well, I hope he remembers a beautiful passage from LUKE: (14:11) “For whosoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted”.

I just hope Mr. Caparas, that you see the light. You may accept this honor, but you know deep in your heart that you don’t deserve it. Someday, you will leave this world and what sort of impression are you going to leave behind? Someone who was honored as a NATIONAL ARTIST who didn’t deserve a bit to receive that honor?

Pride is one of the seven deadly sins. Discard it from your soul and be thankful for all the graces you have received in this temporary existence. Tomorrow, when we finally cross the other side, we will not take with us any material thing, or anyone of the seven deadly sins that some of us ached so much to have in this world. REJECT this award and walk away in peace.

Then, everyone will look up to you and call you an honorable man.

” Alam mo kasi Che, talagang bagay sa akin dahil alam mo kung bakit,Komiks pa lang, pelikula at telebisyon na pinagmulan ko… ang image ko Nationwide….” –Carlo J. Caparas

“…Kamukha nyan,sasabihin mo na hindi ako marunong gumuhit… Eto sa harapan mo ipapakita ko sa’yo na isa akong illustrator. nag-umpisa ako sa komiks as an ilustrator, nangyari lang na mas malaki ang kikitain kong salapi sa pagsusulat sa komiks. Nakakapag drawing ako isang nobela 3 araw. Samantalang sa komiks nakakasulat ako in one seating…22 scripts, chapters…”

“Che kasi alam mo maikli ang oras natin no. Gusto ko lang ipakita ang kakayahan ko sa pagdedebuho…sa pagguhit. Itong mga mural na’to na ginawa ko sa canvas at ink na mahirap na medium pero nakakayang kong gawin na hindi kayang gawin ng ibang pintor na narito…”
—-CARLO J. CAPARAS

Mr.Caparas hindi issue dito kung marunong kang magdrawing o hinde, ang issue e ikaw ba yung visual artist ng mga importante mong mga gawa. Mga gawa mong ginawang pelikula,soap at kung anu-ano pa.Hinde di ba? Atleast man lang banggitin mo yung mga pangalan ng mga naging artists mo…tsk tsk tsk.

A Writer and a Penciller are two different things same as a Swimmer is different from a Boxer which of course have their own set of awards, titles, and honors bestowed to them.

And yes it will be wrong if Stan Lee receives an award or title as a Visual Artist because he is not qualified. But of course he never received anything of that sort so all is fine with Stan.

Regarding what honor, award, or title to bestow Stan Lee for his work in comics and as a creator because an award as a Visual Artist doesn’t fit him..here’s some to name a few of what he already received.

Jack Kirby hall of fame
Eisner hall of fame
National Medal of Arts – the highest honor conferred to an individual artist on behalf of the people.

But enough with Stan Lee because there are no issues to talk about the legend. CJC is honestly not even good enough to get himself compared to Stan and what Stan has achieved.

Awards and Titles for writers is not the case here. This is a case about CJC and the title he received which in the first place he shouldn’t have. As was said and will be said again. How can you give a National Artist for Visual Arts title to someone who doesn’t even qualify as a Visual Artist? Can he even show to the public visual art works he made prior to the time he was given the title which are significant enough to at least get him nominated for the title? I doubt it. I very much doubt it. Heck in all the years I have been into comics I have never even seen him draw something significant or make a visual art that instantly became a classic. Has the public even seen him draw simple character sketches? Nope. Head sketches? Nope. Any good looking art at all? None. In short..he hasn’t made any visual art that made an impact, importance, or significance. EVER. He is just NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE TITLE.
