Supporters of film director Carlo J. Caparas held a rally this morning at the National Commission for the Culture and the Arts (NCCA) Building, reports pep.ph.

Braving the rain, the supporters carried signs, one of which reading "Weather weather lang yan, si Direk pa din ang # 1." Carlo J. Caparas with his wife Donna  Villa also called a press conference this morning to air their views on the protests against his selection as a National Artist as announced by Malacanang.

In a gmanews interview, Carlo J. Caparas said, "Kaya ko i-represent ang binibigay sa aking karangalan bilang pambansang alagad ng sining."

    @ATE GAY:

    Shut up you uneducated nincompoop. Wag ka mag comment dito kung wala ka naman palang alam sa isyu at kung ibabase mo lamang sa popularity ang pagpili ng national artists. Wag ka nga magpakabobo dito, magresearch ka muna bago ka magsalita.

    @ate gay

    Hoy! Hindi ito "Popularity Contest." Huwag mong ibase ang pagkakahirang sa kaniya dahil lamang sa mas maraming nakakakilala sa kanya. Tignan ang tunay na puno't dulo ng isyu--ang pakikialam at pag-manipula sa proseso ng pagpili para sa National Artists.

    Caparas should not talk about what he did...instead he should think about what he can do ..... speaking of politics.....wag din naman syang mamulitiko..pareho lang kayong lahat dyan.....la na kasing itulak kabigin.......ang gulo ninyong lahat wala talaga ,,,lahat magaling ang pilipino ......kahit saan ...kaya nga wala tayong asenso compare to other countries is because we dont have the sense of unity amongst us...." A True Artist Doesn't Speak For Himself "

    The National Artists ceremoniously gave up their medals on Friday afternoon as sign of protest and indignation. It will be kept at the Cultural Center of the Philippines for safekeeping until such time Malacañang change its mind to withdraw Alvarez and Caparas from the list.
