5. Ang Kiukok's success stems mainly from the
honesty of his art.
It is one of Ang Kiukok's strengths that he
never allowed himself to be bulldozed by the
public's whims.
Kiukok's paintings serve as reminders to a
society where integrity and moral rectitude
receive more lip service than practice.
Ang Kiukok continues to be a respected but
enigmatic figure in the Manila art scene.
