UST comic exhibit- workshop production note 1
at last, the very own production note for the UST Accounting Journal comic workshop.
We arrived at 2pm and waited for them to pick us up in Mcdonalds, while we continue our discussion about the local comics comeback we joke around on some showbiz news and other funny stories.
But before that, I visited Alva to do printing on some comic seminar poster and Gerry Alanguilan's artwork for the exhibit. and golly! after the 1st photo print, I was amazed to see a blow up size of the old page of TIMAWA.
astig!
then we waited the accounting org to finish the panel set up, while we wait inside their office, we satyed relaxed and watch my download movie of Hellboy animated movie.
then they provided a Mcdo grub for us and thankies to them for that.
Ariel setting up his artwork
Ging gang golly!! Artists' Den peeps
it was funny because during our small walk, we shared each of our own UST nostalgic moment.
we funny talk about cosplaying using our old UST uniform, but it was unfair to me, because if that happens, I'll be wearing my elementary shorts kaki hahhahaaah

Komiks are back! Sept 14, 2007 release
Hey kids! the local news stand comics are back again!
Carlo J. Caparas and Sterling are very serious in restoring back our old traditions in comics.
Although that it took me some minutes in searching for these comics in our local news stands, while walking in the street of Quiapo, I just saw already some probably conflicts that may encounter for the comics.
In Quiapo, pirated dvds are mostly visible than the comics news stand, after walking from Quaipo to recto, it took me 3-4 news stand store before grabbing a copy of the comics in a small street store selling newspaper, cigarette and now! the comics.
after buying one set of 5, I began my walkathon going to Recto, and search for other store.
unfortunately, I just saw 2 store carrying the product. It looks like that out 10 store, only 2 of them sell the comics.
here are the covers of the comics.
This part is new, they included a tab seal, so that possible buyers can't peak on it.
early readers, including me. Ariel, Patrick and Lyndon (not on pic) are amazed on the release
but after that our Artists' Den discussion focuses on. How many months will these comics continue? Are they going to compile them in one book ? Will there be more ad sponsors next issue? is this will be a weekly run forever? are there any other titles coming ?
or are the other part of the comics industry will follow this hype?
what's under Caparas' sun glasses. well we just hope that he is not a clone.
Andres de Saya..
as always.
Hal Santiago's illustration for Kroko, now one of my favorite title.
I texted Mr. Hal and I congratulate him for the release of the comics, then he replied his thanks and later on I was surprised on the last part of the message, there is a meeting going on at the building of Sterling and I was told to go there and join their meeting. oh wow! Sterling and the Caparas. But too bad I failed to join their meeting due to our commitment to set up the exhibit in UST that afternoon.
there it goes kids! go out and buy!
for only P10 pesos.
only in the Philippines!
more photos of it here

2nd Kongreso ng Komiks
its a congress for Philippine comics, the local and cheap comics that we know and its already being revive for the news stand market. The congress is headed by Carlo Caparas, NCAA and KWF.
I was chosen as the assistant chairman for the committee of Careers and Enhancement with Hal Santiago and he is our main chairman.
I went there to listen and be an observer, and I didn't expected that people in their wanted me to be part of it. I just hope that for being part of it, I can deliver some major concerns about the comics field today that they haven't noticed. so thats square one, and hoping on the next chapter
After my short-immediate speech and report for our plan of having a series of workshop, seminar, free materials, exhibit and convention. Carlo J. Caparas stood up after and gladly shakes my hand. hahaha.. wow! i just hope..really hope that these ideas will bring a big change.
Before the Congress started, Joelad Santos of Komisyon ng wikang Filipino, opened the event by letting us hear a sample music theme song for Carlo Caparas' comics.
you can download a raw sample mp3 HERE
it was performed and sang by a blind musician, the guy who did the PCSO theme song.
What did I say here?
here's what I posted in my multiply. sorry that Im so lazy in editing these stuff for my blog.
I was freaking out in some minutes, and because Im not prepared for having big speech report.
Im bugging Garro of Komiks.ph for an advice and he said that I shouldn't swallow my words or just go straight to the point. It was a good advice, there KC Kordero and Marboy raised their flags for support and just to take my tense away.

I was chosen to be part of Hal Santiago's committee, about Careers and enhancement, it was a sudden super short notice and the people around want me to be their speaker with Mr. Hal, then during the intro, they dubbed us chairmans, and me assistant chairman of that committee.Its weird that Im quoting myself here.
primarily focus is on conducting workshop and seminar, this was one of the idea of Mr. Hal, while I do a small part in telling them about a plan about free comic materials for those who want to learn the art of writing and drawing via using the internet, using our own resources and artist.
to have our own lecturing styles.
it was very hard to explain first to them, (while speaking at the front) that being part of an international based comic agency and partnering up with Mr. Hal and the local comic field, I just told them to learn one another and try to merge it and try to form a new or modern concept. its very complication for my part. Because Im exposed to a different comic industry.
then i just told them about making a series of school tour, not just aiming at the urban and provincial side, but more focusing on the general people like in the malls, exclusive school, private areas, which have a big interest in the comic field.
i told them im not a comic artist or writer, but i do lots of comic related activities and just hope that they can get my point.
im not sure if they will fund this project and me and my big mouth, conceptualizing a Comic boot camp for all and a venue to all artist who can teach one another and share ideas as one, and develop each other via mentoring.
just like we do in komikero and artists den.
im not really sure what will happen next, but Mr. Hal give me a big thumbs up and we will talk about this maybe next week. or soon.
i think its a go. Mr. Caparas stood up, shake my hand and im glad that he listens. ( i think...)
I was about talk to him in a short time after the congress.... but..
i just cant get a good conversation, after these press and media stormed around with him for a quick interview
maybe soon...I can talk to him..and present some issues
Im uploading a video today, and he took back what he says about comics being dead.
im not really sure of my involvement in the Komiks Kongress, it was very unexpected event for me. and even if people do believe in it or not, its up to the Kongress to grant these ideas and project if ever they really want to make the comic scene healthy.
