THE Department of Education (DepEd) and the JNBM Amazing Arts Philippines Incorporated launched the “Husay Ng Batang Pinoy,” a nationwide paper clay art competition Thursday afternoon at the Manila Ocean Park.

With the theme “Ako Para Sa Kalikasan” and the help of DepEd Ambassador Sam Concepcion, the first teen celebrity endorser of the competition, the event aims to encourage the youth to try paper clay art and showcase their talent and skills as young Filipino artists.

Sam, who is in home school right now, is more than happy when he was picked to be the spokesperson of DepEd.

“It is such a learning experience for me to be chosen as DepEd spokesperson and a bigger responsibility to go to schools around the country and share the importance of education,” he said.

Sam has been the celebrity ambassador of the DepEd for more than a year already.

He said he is very proud with the paper clay art and was able to try it since he was a kid.

“I already encountered paper clay art before pa. I remember trying it before when I was little,” Sam said.

He added: “I’m really thankful to be chosen to endorse this product because its proudly Filipino. Manufactured and invented here and this is something we should truly be proud of.”

According to Sam, paper clay art stimulates the imagination, and encourages self-expression, and quality bonding time with family members.

The 2009 Paper Clay Art Competition, which was first launched on October 15 in Guimaras, is open to all Elementary and High School students from public and private schools.

Each contestant will be given a paper clay art kit, which they can mix with other art media such as poster paint, acrylic paint, water color, poster color, colored pens and pencils and other recycled materials.

The art stuffs included in the kit are recycled materials, which are not harmful to the environment.

The grand finals will be on February 2010 and the grand winner from the elementary and high school division will receive P50,000 each.

The competition also caught the attention of singing bee star Cesar Montano and invited the DepEd, JNBM, and the organizers of the competition to hold a soft launch in Bohol.

During the birthday press con of Star Magic artists recently, October birthday celebrant Sam Concepcion revealed that the only thing he bought for himself was a pair of rubber shoes which he loves to collect. But other than that, he refused to take any gifts from his parents who kept on asking him what he wants for his birthday last October 17. “It’s not that I have everything. I definitely do not have everything but I just don’t really want anything na material. Hindi ako alam. I wish that I have something in mind na hingin pero wala e,” said Sam who also shared that he never had been the “bilmoko” (bili mo ko no’n, bili mo ko n’yan) type of kid.

As a matter of fact, he didn’t have time to celebrate it on the day itself because he was busy with his out of town gigs during that week. But still, there were people who went out of their way to plan a surprise birthday party for him. “Pinaka-celebration ko na yung sa ASAP. And then there was this booking that I went to two days after. But it turned out that the people in Cagayan Valley threw a celebration for me. So I had no idea. October is children’s month and they got me there to speak for the high school students, tapos meron lang show. Peroyun pala it was a birthday present to me. May mga games pa like Sam look-alike contest. It was so entertaining. It’s one experience I won’t ever forget,” he fondly recalled.

As the youth spokesperson of Department of Education and World Vision, Sam had also participated in various outreach activities for the victims of the typhoon. But aside from distributing relief goods, the 17-year-old singer/actor also took time to entertain the kids in the areas where he visited. “When World Vision went to Marikina, we had this child-friendly area. We gathered all the children ten to twelve years old and even the small ones. Interaction lang para ma-encourage sila. It was important kasi they were the ones who were really traumatized by what happened. So we asked them to write prayers and what they want in a piece of paper. Surprisingly, very small things lang yung hinihingi nila, like papag lang or I want my bag back, things like that,” he related.

Sam is also getting ready for the Star Magic World Concert Tour at the Araneta Coliseum on November 13. When asked how he feels that he would be a part of something this big in order to help his fellow countrymen, he proudly replied, “It’s really a big privilege for artists like us to be part of this outreach activities kasi ito talaga yung time na we can help other people first hand. We know that we’re doing something not just for ourselves. At a time like this, all the artists are looking at one direction, we have one goal. That alone inspires to really make the show a huge success.”
