In this episode we talk about creating graphic novels, how to get good at drawing, traditional art, ignorance, and lack of respect for artists from the general population, and the problematic new 5000 pesos Philippine banknote, and how its Lapu Lapu portrait is amateurish and inaccurate. We later talk some Philippine and US Politics. DDS and Dilawan, Biden and Trump, being a Centrist, the wide spectrum of the Filipino way of life experiences, Freedom of Speech, identity politics, critical race theory, political divisions and many others. We also talk about a few interesting things about ancient Filipinos, and then the younger generations, Millenials, Gen Z, and what might come next. Plus a lot more juicy things in between.
