Veteran director, comic strip creator Carlo J. Caparas passes away
Carlo J. Caparas, a veteran Filipino writer-director and comic strip creator, has died. He was 80.
The sad news was confirmed by his daughter Peach Caparas through a Facebook post.
His cause of death has yet to be revealed.
As an ode to her father, Peach wrote a poem titled “Sa Bawat Tipa ng Makinilya,” along with a black-and-white portrait of Carlo.
“Sa kanyang taglay na brilyo mga obra maestrang nobela kaniyang nabuo,” a portion of the poem read.
“Panday, Pieta, Elias Paniki, Bakekang, Totoy Bato ang ilan lamang sa mga ito,” it added.
Peach ended her post by expressing the influence of her father in their family.
“Dad, you will forever be loved, cherished, and honored…by all of us,” she wrote.
Peach also announced that the official wake will start on Monday from noon until midnight at the Haven Memorial Chapels and Crematorium in Taguig City.
Carlo is best known for creating Filipino superheroes and characters through his comic strips, such as Panday, Totoy Bato, Bakekang, Gagambino, and Elias Paniki.
He is also the director behind the movie “The Vizconde Massacre,” which was shown in 1993. It starred Kris Aquino.
In 2009, Carlo was hailed as a National Artist for Visual Arts and Film, but the recognition was invalidated by the Supreme Court in 2013.
In 2017, Carlo’s wife Donna Villa died of cancer at 57. —KG, GMA Integrated News
