MANILA, Philippines – Kalabaw Studios, formerly known as Penlab, an online publisher and distributor of local Pinoy komiks, will no longer be allowed to participate in Komiket events after several artists aired their grievances against one of the platform’s founders. “The tables they have reserved are being redistributed to individual artists under their own names who were wronged in their association with Kalabaw Studios,” they added.
The changes came after several Filipino artists took to social media to call out Penlab’s founder Bernie Mercado for alleged abuse and unfair labor practices under their time with the platform. The artist continued that many of these individuals have trusted Mercado as they shared his dream for developing the local komiks industry. “But time and time again, he decided that trust was not worth keeping,” they said. She added that she also reached out to her former Penlab colleagues whom Bercado abused and expressed her desire to make things right with them.
