In 1974 shortly alter the declaration of martial law caused the closing down of the Philippine Leader, Dalena found himself without work. He then began the Jai A/ai Series that portrayed not the game itself but the swirling mass of bettors who arrived hopeful but left as losers. One of the paintings in his series grabbed the grand prize in the Art Association of the Philippines competition the following year.
An exhibit of 27 large oil paintings held in 1978 at the gallery of the Regent of Manila was the event that brought him unanimous critical acclaim. Two years later, he won the 1980 Mobil Art Awards with paintings from the same series. Critics commented on his use of color and the penetrating political allegory implicit of a country in crisis. While he was completing the Jai Alai Series, he started working on another set of oil paintings of strippers and dancers in a beerhouse on one of Manilas major thoroughfares.
Books dedicated to him.
