ANG KIUKOK AS A UNIQUE NATIONAL ARTIST

Ang Kiukok's success stems mainly from the honesty of his art.

It is one of Ang Kiukok's strengths that he never allowed himself to be bulldozed by the public's whims.

Kiukok's paintings serve as reminders to a society where integrity and moral rectitude receive more lip service than practice.

Ang Kiukok continues to be a respected but enigmatic figure in the Manila art scene.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH OTHER ARTISTS Virgilio Almario a.k.a. Rio Alma saw a

painting of Ang Kiukok, he felt an instant connection to it.

"This is my painter; this is my spirit," Almario recalls himself

Both attained the ultimate accolade — the National Artist award, Almario for Literature and Ang for Visual Arts.

It was a dream-come-true for Almario as the book " Sonetos Postumos" was launched at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
