Kinamay na Obra mula sa Malikhaing Imahinasyon sa Kultura at Sining

I didn't know that the word " KOMIKS" is an acronym of "Kinamay na Obra mula sa Malikhaing Imahinasyon sa Kultura at Sining"

I just found it out after reading an article in the net. Im posting a copy of it here, but I like to invite all to read the original source posted below

COMICS: On the evolution of time

By Merlou Cape Reniva

Liwayway, Darna, Hiwaga and Aliwan - Are you familiar with these? Most probably not because these are some of the popular comics magazines decades ago. If classical comics will be placed side by side with today's popular comics and anime magazines, we might not be interested with such comics anymore.

Currently, Filipinos continue to support television fantasy series such as Darna and Captain Barbel and superhero movies like Lastikman and Zuma. These stories are crafted by a popular comic creator named Mars Ravelo.

What is Comics?

Comics is a reading material for entertainment and recreation. It is a favorite collection because readers are following the series of stories. It is a media for expressing sensitive and critical issues but the presentation is witty.

Kinamay na Obra mula sa Malikhaing Imahinasyon sa Kultura at Sining or KOMIKS. The masterpiece of a writer and an illustrator which is collectively coined as comic creators. It is a form of media reflecting the lives of the people. It describes things that exist in our society in which it depicts issues on politics, economics, social life as well as our culture and religion.
Comics History

For those who do not know, Dr. Jose Rizal was the first Filipino who created drawing and put letters on it. He created a fable entitled �The Monkey and the Tortoise� in 1886 and essentially made the very first Filipino comics in the year 1889.

Heath Ledger R.I.P.

It was a great morning wake up call for me while I watch TV and read some articles in my laptop that I saved last night, then my friend Earl texted me with a lot of disappointed saying that Heath Ledger is dead and Joker is Dead!.

I almost fell into my seat when I read that and then I immediately checked on the news in CNN if there is an update or a flash news about it, but didn't see any news about Heath. Then I quickly went down carrying my laptop and then opened my internet and there it goes. Everyone in Multiply is already talking about his death and a lot of links reporting it also.

Here''s what I think first when I heard the news. Did he finished the Dark Knight film?

But after reading some articles, the film is finished and it will be his last movie as one of the scariest villain of all comic icons - the Joker.

MANILA, Philippines—Behind some of the popular comics currently being released internationally are Filipino artists, delighting geeks of all ages with their distinct takes on different heroes—from those in form-fitting battlesuits to those in Jedi robes—and their traditionally frenetic fisticuffs.

Pinoy pencilers and inkers started getting attention for their work abroad decades back. Some comics pros, like Whilce Portacio, Leinil Francis Yu and Jay Anacleto, became sought-after talents in the ’90s. They continue to draw for major American publishers such as Marvel and DC Comics.

Not long after, other Philippines-based pencilers—Glass House Graphics’ Wilson Tortosa, Carlo Pagulayan, and Harvey Tolibao, among others—debuted and began making waves with a number of noteworthy monthlies as well. Once again,fellow Pinoys’ artistry and storytelling skills enhance some previously established fantasy realms.

Church Turns To Comics To Teach Catholic Social Concerns

Source :

ILOILO CITY, Philippines (UCAN) -- A laughing demon standing above planet earth, engulfed in flames, caught Cathy Caniogan's attention as she flipped through the pages of a comic book during a lull at work.

The 25-year-old cashier at a restaurant in Iloilo City "got interested" in reading Barangay RP (Republic of the Philippines village) comics, published by local artist Ding Logibis, after previously seeing a customer read one.

Logibis' popular comics tackle social, political, health and other issues.

Speaking to UCA News on Jan. 11 in Iloilo City, 450 kilometers southeast of Manila, Caniogan said she came across words such as "global warming" and "greenhouse emissions" in the comics.

Remebering Funny Komiks ( some comic scans)

After surfing in the pages of PEX, got some cool scanlations of Funny Komiks. Read below for the scan comics of Nik Nok and SuperKat

1997: The Dynamic Duo - Yu and Tadeo

Head over to Edgar Tadeo's blog and you'll see a scanned copy of The Cutting Edge Magazine back in 1997. There's an interview with Leinil Yu and Edgar Tadeo. It's one of the earliest photo of them during that time. And during my time back then, I didn't know that they are Filipino. Been collecting the whole Onslaught saga up to the Operation Zero Tolerance, there its my earliest exposure to see their works. Wolverine comics is one of the series they both worked on, and when me and my comic buddies meet, we got a big debate on if they are Pinoys or not.  Then in my friend's comic shop he showed me a Wolverine sketch by Tadeo, then I hang it in our store and place lots of comic artworks there. Thats in Recto, our little comic shop. Then when the Avalon studio comic book signing was in Robinsons Galeria, thats the time when I met them personally and let my comicbooks signed by them hehhehe. Didn't caught what Edgar Tadeo looks like, but i remember Leinil Yu having a long hair look. damn! I lined up two times when I heard that female hip hop rapper "Chill" was there in the signing.  Got home with my Wolverine comics signed by Yu and Tadeo,  Stone comics signed by Whilce and Gerry, Spawn comics signed by Brian Haberlin ehand a personalize sketch art and message by "Chill" that every event attendees got jealous over me. hehheehe.. thats one adventure of me as comic fan.

Phoenix--Phoenix is Hot, sure... but it just got even hotter! It's just been announced that fan fave Ghost Rider and MoonKnight artist Mark Texeira will be making his first appearance in the area at the Phoenix Comic Con!

4 pages of Timawa this Feb 2008 issue

Good news! We were informed via Gerry Alanguilan's blog that the Timawa comic series in Buzz Magazine will be in 4 pages starting on February 2008 issue and I think the magazine might be available this coming weeks. I'm so excited to read more of Timawa. Also Gerry noted that he don't plan to compile it and republish the whole Timawa series, so we should accept it and don't expect much for a graphic novel compilation. So sad to hear that, but its okay, we can still compile the whole series by collecting all issue of Buzz Magazine. Also on his blog you can check out a one page preview art of the next issue. you can preview the page and also the source of the news here.

and if you read it all you can get a news about the El Nido comics and Humanis Rex compilation.

thanks Direk Gerry for the great news! hahaahahah (kidding)

Sao-chan featured in Itsura Manga

"Hi! Im Sao born October of 1983, lived in Pateros, Manila. During my elementary and high school days, I tried public and private schools, and I'm currently an undergrad. lol [but I'm on it right now -- finishing it]. My first college was in the province, Cagayan valley to be exact. I tried BSIT [yea-yea information technology] because there were no FA courses that time, but I was also no good for computers, then I transferred into an interior design course studied for 3 to 4 years, then gave up, went back to Pateros. I miss my home! D:>

I probably didn't take much to living in the province that's why I decided to go back were I was, I loved drawing since I was 7? And at first, my mom was against me drawing manga/anime. So that's that. Well, I guess, that was the start? ahahaha. ^^;;;;" - Sao Chan

During the final days of World War II, the Nazis activated a doomsday device somewhere in the Pacific. The Justice Corps, the Philippines super-hero team, was the only one who could respond in time to stop the device. The survivors of that fateful day were Bituwin, The Ermitanyo, and the super-villain Dr. Kadiliman.

Decades later, we find Dr. Kadiliman, trying to live a peaceful life with his granddaughter Kadi. Once a year, on the anniversary of that day of sacrifice and heroism, Dr. Kadiliman disappears. Where does he go? Who does he meet with? Discover the answers in KADILIMAN: IN THEIR SILENT SHADOW CARNIVAL.

Yo Budj! if you read this, inform us here via comment post for the availability of the comics. Thanks!

Also funny post in his twitter that Budjette smelled a burned candle when he was writing the next Trese issue 8. haahaha.
its scary! but a great story will emerge  for Trese  after that  eerie incident. Maybe someone lit a candle for his  birthday.
