In the Philippines, animation has finally found its way. Inspired by the high
degrees of sophistication emitted by other countries, Filipino artists decided to try their
luck in the art. Years of hardships and disappointments never dampened the spirits of
our hardworking animators. In 1950, Jerry Navarro, Larry Alcala, Vicente Penetrante
and Jose Zabala Santos, tried their luck in animation. But due to financial problems,
these young and budding animators had to work with the crudest of equipment.
Through the years, one or more artists would try to nurture their knowledge of animation
only to be blocked by the usual financial constraints.
