What’s the worst thing that can happen to the Filipino comic book industry?
Cultural apathy.

If you weren’t making comic books what would you be doing for a living?

What is the best advice you can give to a comic book creator who is just starting out?
I always tell my students, if you want to be a writer, then write. If you want to be an illustrator, then draw.
