TRABAHO LANG, WALANG PERSONALAN: A komiks artist who drew the comic book portraying the "heroism" of presidential candidate Mar Roxas during the aftermath of super typhoon Yolanda is actually a supporter of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

After drawing mixed reviews, veteran illustrator Karl Comendador clarified Tuesday that he was only commissioned by the followers of Roxas to sketch the comic book "Sa Gitna ng Unos."

Comic book claims Roxas was a 'hero' during Yolanda

In his Facebook posts, Comendador stressed that his fellow Visayan, Duterte, is his top choice for president. He has also shown preference for Liberal Party vice-presidential bet Leni Robredo.

Duterte was born in Maasin City, Leyte. His family later moved to Cebu before settling in Davao City.

Marami po akong naidrowing na komiks pampulitika noon at ngayon. Trabaho lang po, sana'y inyong maunawaan. Maraming salamat po. DUTERTE PO ANG PRESIDENTE KO!

The illustrator also apologized to those may have been offended by his depiction of Roxas in the comics.

Kung mayroon man po akong nasaktan na mga tao o organisasyon dahil sa ginawa kong komiks pampulitika ay nais kong ulitin...
