Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) invited Director Carlo J. Caparas to be a visiting lecturer of visual arts and film. A testimonial dinner was held to honor Direk Caparas on August 27 at the Hasmin Hostel in MH Del Pilar Campus.
The said testimonial dinner was organized by the Office of the President of PUP, University Center for Culture and Arts, and College of Language and Linguistics.
It was a successful event since a lot of media people came (although not to congratulate Direk Caparas for being chosen as visiting lecturer at PUP but to ask his opinion on the TRO issued by the Supreme Court on his National Artist award). By and large, I like what UCCA Director Segundo Dizon said in his testimony, “the essence of Carlo J. Caparas is still becoming.”
