Carlo Caparas as one of the New National Artists 2009

I just learned today that the new National Artists was already declared by Pres. Arroyo. Learned about this when I read the tweets of Jim Paredes. I was smirking because he can't believe that Carlo Caparas is one of the New National Artists of 2009.

And to quote him, here are some of his tweets:

" What ground-breaking, inspiring, heroic, patriotic, nationalistic, or artistic film has Carlo J Caparas done to be National Artist?
Answer: Exploitative massacre movies where victims were exploited and the guilty were not identified...for fear of lawsuits perhaps? "

It funny as well because I have read at other blog posts saying that he is not deserving of that award. Oh well..... my lips are sealed..

Oh BTW here is the LIST OF THE NEW PHIL. NATIONAL ARTISTS OF 2009
