LARRY ALCALA 100 YEARS: Tribute Exhibit & 100 Komikeros
The exhibit honors Larry Alcalaโs commitment to education through a series of specialized cartooning workshops. In partnership with the UP Department of Visual Communication and the Samahang Kartunista ng Pilipinas, organizers invited students from JASMS QC (with JASMS Manila) to participate.
Last Sept. 12, 2026, a group of 10 students, consisting of five elementary and five high school students, took part in the learning sessions.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), Mr. Hugo โBoboyโ Yonzon, and our Executive Director, Mrs. Remedios H. Cruz, for the opportunity to visit this nostalgic exhibit and witness the humor, heart, and socio-political wit that shaped Filipino comic history.
Music Hall (1:30-5:00 PM): For the elementary students aged 8 to 10 years old, illustrators Ardie Aquino, Giodesk Guiao, and Celso Quijano Jr. expounded on character design, comic strips, and basic cartooning.
Ballroom (9:30-5:00 PM): Comic artists Boboy Yonzon, Barry Jose, and Mike Yonzon discussed the complexity of expressing thoughts through cartoons.
Mr. Hugo โBoboyโ Yonzon is JASMS QC Alumnus himself.
