Carlo J. Caparas replaces 7 comic strips in PDI

here's the latest scoop that I read before signing off, read it from our Artists' Den mailing list,
for me its quite a little disturbing for canceling 7 strips in order to make way for this new series.

Carlo J. Caparas, the man who will save Philippine komiks, has let The
Philippine Daily Inquirer publish his diaryo novela 'To have and To Hold'.

To make room for his half-page komiks, PDI stopped publishing 7 other
comic strips.

This includes Divine Comedy by Steven Pabalinas, Mikrokosmos by Jomike
Tejido, and Love Knots by Elizabeth Chionglo.

The only strips left are Atomo and Weboy, Pugad Baboy, Kiko Machine,
and Garfield (plus two others).

The question that came to my mind is this: How can a man save the
Philippine komiks industry by replacing 7 existing comic strips with one?
