IMPORTANT: TO ALL FILIPINO KOMIKS CREATORS AND ARTISTS

IMPORTANT: TO ALL FILIPINO KOMIKS CREATORS AND ARTISTS

Greetings to everyone!!!

Upcoming Komiks Congress was being set on February 27, 2007 with the primary objective on reviving the Komiks Industry in a national scale once again.

I strongly believe that it is through UNITY and Cooperation , We will Make a Difference. It is in the sense of being a Filipino.

In view herewith , that I am calling all the participation of Filipino Komiks Artists that was involved in the Komiks making whether in Local and international scene.

I am also requesting for submissions of your Indie Komiks, collected Filipino Komiks (whether today or in the past). and artworks that truly signifies a Filipino Komiks Artistry and Pride . This will be displayed on tables during the Congress And we are very sorry to inform everyone that it cannot be sold to avoid unnecessary competition between the creators and artists. I am talking about ALL FILIPINO WORKS REGARDLESS OF STYLE AND LANGUAGE ( although we prefer more on Filipino since it will be held in NCCA). Komiks Congres is purely exhibition , gathering and deliberation

Komiks Congress will not be successful if there is no complete participation from all of us since vWE ARE THE CONGRESS and not by a few. This is our chance to show our solid support on our beloved Industry. And to show them that the present generation is passionate about this drive. This is for all of us. This is an opportunity for all of us to SPEAK.

I will be in- charge in collecting all of this and it’s a great risk but it is what we need to be done. I feel that this is the right thing to do.

Furthermore, I would like to extend my apology on this rush announcement since I need to consult first on the authorities of this Congress before proceeding. And this is understandable since KWF and NCCA really lacks the awareness on what are the real events that took place.

I will be at SM Megamall , Foodcourt beside the iceskate area to receive your submissions this coming SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2007 at around 9:00- 12:00 in the morning only and I will be proceeding to NCCA after lunch to catch the TV interview and coverage about this event.

Pinapayuhan ko rin po ang lahat na was mag sumite ng mga mamahaling gawa o originals kasi ako ang kawawa sakaling mawala.Malaki ang pananagutan ko nyan sa inyo and mahirap lang po ako.Wawa naman ako pag ihabla nyo ako. Saka baka deretcho na dadalhin ang lahat ng mga sinubmit nyo sa iba ibang unibersidad at lugar sa Pilipinas.

Sa mga gusto pa magsubmit ng artworks, kung maari po iframe o kahit imount nyo na ito sa illustration boards at kung maari po pag nagsubmit kayo ng komiks ninyo, wag po yong mamahalin nyo na kopya.Lahat po ng isusumite ay may nakalista po dapat na pangalan at kunting description. Isa lang po ang maaring tanggapin sa artworks, sa komiks po kahit ilan pwede ipadala.

I will wait for you all sa Megamall sa umaga nitong Sunday.. And this is also a risk but I will be giving you my personal no. to contact me : 09106230919. Remember hanggang 12 noon lang ako doon. Or contact me on this email; johnbecaro@yahoo.com. I will be online this Saturday evening only to receive all your reactions.
