Jess Abrera

BTS with veteran illustrator and cartoonist Jess Abrera We had the privilege of visiting him in his home studio, where he shared stories behind his art and his decades of shaping Filipino visual satire.His series "Pinoy Nga!" humorously captures the quirks and contradictions of Filipino life—a witty mirror to our everyday humor and humanity. Meanwhile, his strip "A. Lipin", featuring the beloved carabao Guyito, has become a mainstay in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, where his wit and social insight continue to resonate with readers.This is part of our ongoing work for As We May See—an upcoming documentary by Paul Alexander Morales, co-produced with Digibox Audiovisual Productions, featuring select Philippine visual artists.
