the National Artists? Why or why not?
Answer:
If I was given a chance to be one of the future writers, I don’t like to be included in the list
of Order of the National Artist because I know to myself that I’m not that good in writing or arts
that will make fellow artists and fellow Filipino proud of what I have done. I’m not good at writing
and writing is not my interest. I will just write what I need and what I’m ready and willing to write
about. I will just support my friends, and family who are good at writing that will make them
motivated and encourage them. I will just do whatever I want and what will make me happy,
what my passion is, what is interesting for me.
