BenCab is a famous National Artist that retired in Baguio. During his elementary days, he made a few centavos doing his classmates’ drawing assignments. In high school, he drew portraits of James Dean and Elvis Presley and sold them to schoolmates for 10 pesos. Decades down the way at the peak of his career, his most expensive paintings sold for about a million dollars each. "Paint it and it will come."
