Death To National Artist Award

Binabasa ko pa lang kinikilabutan na ako.... I wish I was there.. I was torn between the Nuffnang event and this..


Noong ika 7 ng Agosto, bandang ala 2 ng hapon, nagkaisa ang mga algad ng sining para Pagdadalamhati ng Bayan para sa Gawad Pambansang Alagad ng Sining. Ito ay isang kilos protesta na tumutuligsa sa hindi makatarungang pagkakapili kay Carlo Caparas at sa iba bilang Pambansang Alagad ng Sining. Ang dumalo ay mga personalidad na nauna ng nagawaran ng Pambansang Alagad ng Sining. Isa sa mga nakakilabot na pangyayari ay ng isa isa nilang hinubad ang kanilang medalyon at isinilid sa isang kahon. Ito ay nagsisimbolo ng matinding hindi pag sang ayon ng mga alagad ng sining at sana umani pa ito ng mas maraming kilos protesta laban sa hindi makatarungan (at puno ng pamumulitikang) pagpili sa pagbibigay ng Gawad Pambansang Alagad ng Sining

At ito pa ang mas nakakakilabot:

Imee Marcos surmised that the National Artist award was given to Caparas as “payment for the sale of the iconic poster of ‘Panday.’”

She claimed that Caparas had sold the rights for the poster of the legendary character he created to prevent the late Fernando Poe Jr.—who immortalized “Panday” on the silver screen—from using it when he ran against Ms Arroyo in the 2004 presidential election.

“They wanted to erase FPJ’s image as Panday in the consciousness of the Filipinos. But that will never happen,” she said.

When asked if it was the first time she joined a protest action, Imee said: “No. But this is the first time I went with [my sister] Irene.”

She said her brother, Ilocos Norte Rep. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., also wanted to attend the rally but had an earlier commitment.

“Our family is saddened by this scandal. This award was meant to recognize outstanding artists and not for political accommodation,” Imee said, adding that it was her mother, former first lady Imelda Marcos, who had conceptualized the National Artist awards. (source)

O nasagot na ba ang mga tanong mo? It's not about the massacres dude.. it's the Panday!

Sabi nga nila, kaya si Dolphy ay hindi magawaran ng award na 'yan, dahil din sa pulitika. I guess Ms. Arroyo is invading worlds she should have not trespassed.
