Question 14

First Caricature : Ang Mapapalad

Answer 14

This caricatures explains that in the year 1907, Filipino
nationalist became more concentrates about the economic
issues. It is said that the revenues what were used for the vast
project or the AG&P came from the Filipino taxpayers that
insult the nationalist because the Filipinos were barred from
any participation of their own country.
This shows that the reasons why there are some projects or
infrastructure are not immediately done or finished are due to
those people who are working under the municipal of every
province. Thus, instead of using the budget intended for a
proposed project, some tend to use these on other
unimportant things and exploit the money which came from
the Filipino taxpayers.

Question 15

Second Caricature: Equal Work, Unequal Salary, Why?

Answer 15

Inequality comes in different forms, an example of this is the
low salary of the teachers here in the Philippines. There were
teachers who are complaining for having a low salary even if
they graduated from international universities and are qualified
in a high civil service examination.
The Filipino teachers compares the salary given to American
teachers who were only normal graduates wherein they
received or paid much more than them.
Also another form of discrimination that was mentioned is about
the American who were given a chance to teach in an Elite
secondary school whereas Filipino teachers were assigned to a
crowded primary schools in remote areas.

Question 15

Third Caricature: A public post is not hereditary Crown

Answer 15

It seemed that Filipino politicians at the time did not understand well
enough the essence of democracy and accompanying democratic
institutions and processes. This can be seen in the rising dynastic politics
in Tondo as depicted in the cartoon published by The Independent.
Patronage also became influential and powerful, not only between clients
and patrons but also between the newly formed political parties
composed of the elite and the United States. This was depicted in the
cartoon where the United States, represented by Uncle Sam, provided
dole outs for members of the Federalista while the Nationalista
politicians looked on and waited for their turn.
Thus, the essence of competing political parties enforce choices among
the voters was cancelled out. The problem continues up to the present
where politicians transfer from one party to another depending on which
party was powerful in specific periods of time.

Question 16

Fourth Caricature: Flaming Youth

Answer 16

McCoy called the “sexual revolution”
that occurred 1930s. Young people, as
early as that period, disturbed the
conservative Filipino mind-set. We can
see how that period was the meeting
point between the conservative past and
the liberated future of the Philippines.

Question 17

Why the Aparcero Rebels

Answer 17

tenant farmers from their rightful share of harvest.
