Carlo Caparas is not a visual artist. And certainly not a National Artist material.
Gerry Alanguilan has said it best in this online petition
When the highest award for artists in the Philippines can be dispensed through political patronage rather than merit, then it certainly says something about how we, as a nation, regard arts and culture in our country. GMA has committed an outrage that must be redressed. I do hope the Supreme Court rules against the insertion of undeserving National Artists by Malacañang.
