Saw it, Alvin. Unfortunately, it brought out the losers trying to wreck the petition.
Here’s another article, just in case you haven’t seen it yet, although it’s already a bit old (Aug.12, 2009). Still, I wanted to tell you about it because of a line that I found disturbing:
Politicization of the arts
There is a line that goes, “Never mind, of course, that he [Caparas] didn’t draw these works — apparently comic books are ‘visual art’ whether we talk about the drawings or the story.”
I honestly can’t understand why some people think that writing a story can be categorized under “visual art”, or that comic books is only under “visual art”. When you say that a comic book is only “visual”, you’re disregarding the writer’s work in it. The point of it being a collaboration between a writer and an artist, is that it is not only something visual, but literary as well.
Gerry Alanguilan for President! Pwede pala kayong mag-saydlayn bilang mga ’stand-up comedian’. Buti na lang meron kayong ’sense of humour’. Sa aking kuro-kuro lang po, hindi kailangan ng anumang parangal upang patunayan kung mataas ang antas ng mga gawang-sining ng isang tao. Kumbaga, hindi lahat ng nanalo sa Oscars ay magandang pelikula. ‘ika nga ni Quentin Tarantino minsan sa Scream Awards, “F*ck the Oscars!”. Mga masugid na tagasunod ng mga sining-biswal tulad ng komiks ang ultimong magbibigay ng parangal sa mga tunay na dalubhasa sa sining. Alam ng karamihan sa mga Pilipinong nagbabasa talaga ng komiks na walang kabuluhan ang ‘award’ ni Mang Carlo Caparas. Nais ko ring iparating sa inyo ang aking walang kamatayang pag-ayon at suporta sa inyong marangal na gawain.Kapag nakakakita ako ng mga ganitong kabalbalan sa ating lipunan, naihahalin-tulad ko ang aking damdamin sa bidang tauhan sa ‘Wasted’. Sino ba naman ang hindi nais na maghuramentado sa ganyan? ;D
di na naman tinukoy sa newspaper ang punto na hindi siya ang NAGDRAW sa mga komiks na BODY OF WORK niya. Nakakainis.
Wonderful stuff! Sir Gerry and Johnny, in case you want to take a break from comic work, you can always opt to become stand up “comics”.
Bago ako mapagbintangang elitista, mananagalog na ako. Ako lang ba, o maraming tao ang di na nag iisip at di na kumikilatis, at nagsasalita mula sa kanilang pwet? Napakasimple naman di ba? Hindi napili si Caparas dahil hindi siya pumasa sa mga guidelines, “political accomodation” lang siya. Sana man lang ay aminin niya yun.
Kung katulad lang niya ang masa na ibinibida niya, mas gusto ko pang maging “elitista” at nag-iisip bago magsalita. Sa tingin ko, sa pakikipaginterbyu nila nina Dr. Dalisay sa programa ni Che che Lazaro, wala man lang siyang matibay na dahilan para sa kanyang pagkanalo. Mukha siyang di sgigurado sa sarili dahil marami siyang sinabi na napakalayo sa diskusyon, at “hitting below the belt” pa.
Mahiya hiya naman siya, kahit naman bigyang respeto ang mga tao na kasama niya. Pinakita niya lang ang kanyang tunay na kulay. Nakakapangitngit.
