CJC Issue (kuno) Part 1
Carlo J. Caparas (National Artist/ Director) can represent the title bestowed by the President of the Republic because his works and his image are familiar to the Filipino masses. They patronize him now and then. His appeal to the masses is overwhelming, unlike some of our National Artist, unknown to the people because they only belong to a group of artists or confined to a university. We can call them sectoral artists or elitist artists not National Artist.

Don't make this a social class issue. Because it isn't. Look at the rules and regulations of NCCA that covers the National Artist Award. THAT is the only criteria that we are looking at. If you look at it, and understand it, CJC is NOT qualified. There's no wiggle room here. The criteria is clear.
ReplyDeleteBy accepting the title of National Artist for Visual Arts, CJC has taken the credit of the work of Steve Gan, Nestor Malgapo, Karl Comendador, Mar Santana, and all the artists, the real visual artists who worked on these stories. Do you understand that? CJC has taken what belongs to them and took it for himself. Many of these artists are impoverished and are struggling to survive.
While CJC is living comfortably in Ayala Alabang. Who is being elitist here?
Pero kung susumahin mo Gerry kahit na ilang artist pa ang gumuhit sa mga naging comics ni CJC hindi yun magiging "kilala at successful"
ReplyDeletekung hindi sa script ni CJC.
Si CJC ang puso ng mga comics na yun.
Karangalan din yun ng mga tumulong sa kanya
sa mga comics nya.
Hindi naman siguro pwede na lahat sila gagawaran for each titles?
Sila ang Kamay at Pawis, Si CJC ang UTAK!
Ayala Alabang Village?
Pinagharapan nila yun ng asawa niya.
Wala na tayong pake siguro kung nilalasap nila ang pinag-hirapan nila.
Nung sa comics pa siya sa antipolo siya nakatira pero nung lumipat na siya sa pelikula years pa bago siya umangat sa buhay.
Hindi yun pagiging elitista.
May elitista ba na nakakasalamuha ng MASA?
At ang pinagdaanang hirap bago nakaakyat si CJC ay simbulo nang isang tunay at kahanga-hangang pagsisikap ng isang mahirap na dapat tularan!
ReplyDeletecommon sense lang po..
ReplyDeletea comics story WRITER is not a comics ILLUSTRATOR.
an ILLUSTRATOR is a VISUAL ARTIST.
CJC is a comics story WRITER.
therefore, CJC is not a comics ILLUSTRATOR.
and, CJC is not a VISUAL ARTIST.
pero yung award nya ay for visual artists. paano siya mabibigyan ng award para sa pagiging visual artist kung hindi siya visual artist?
CJC is also a VISUAL ARTIST kahit na hindi siya mismo ang nag-drawing sa ilang sikat na comics niya. With his guidance sa illustrator mas nagiging maganda yung kinalalabasan nung comics. Hindi naman siya balibag script, bahala ka na sa buhay mo sa mga artist niya. Lahat ng frame dun guided niya ayun sa na-imagine niya. Gets?!
ReplyDeleteAgree with rixmaestro... CJC is NOT A VISUAL ARTIST. CJC DID NOT DRAW his novels so WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT HE IS THE VISUAL ARTIST. The award is for A VISUAL ARTIST. Please get your facts straight.
