    What did Carlo J. Caparas do or contribute to deserve the award? Are producing, writing and directing Massacre Films enough merit? It's just so sad that even the highest recognition for artists is now blemished with intrigues and "corruption". Nakakahiya sa mga previous winners, please naman Malacanang, umayos naman kayo...

    I admire those national artist who really contribute for our country, but I hate those who chosen because of POLITICS.
