Daquioag cites the Social Realists as one of the early influences in his art. He says they have not only helped shape his style but also develop his awareness of society. He is also influenced by artists like Renato Habulan and Antonio Austria, although more in essence than in style. On a trip to Samar, Daquioag became interested in the use of local products such as the anting-anting and banig He used them in his works as part of the effort to encourage the use of indigenous materials for local contemporary art.
