(1900-1941)
rather recent art form, which veered away
from the classical art by exaggerating human
features and poking fun at its subjects.
Such as art genre and technique became a
part of the print media as a form of social
and political commentary, which usually
targets persons of power and authority
Political cartoons and caricatures
became an effective tool of
publicizing opinions through heavy
use of symbolism, which is different
from a verbose written editorial and
opinion pieces.

are a graphic description of
the events that went on under the American
colonial period: all the challenges, scandals and
influence brought to the Filipino by the
Americans. Those pre-war caricatures that were
seen on the book entitled “Philippine Cartoons:
Political Caricature of the American Era 1990-
1940” made a history that will never be forgotten
by many
caricatures

expression during the American colonial period.

First Caricature : Ang Mapapalad
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.
Second Caricature: Equal Work, Unequal Salary, Why?
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.
Third Caricature: A public post is not hereditary Crown
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.
Fourth Caricature: Flaming Youth
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.
Why the Aparcero Rebels
It shows the form of landlord usury used to strip
tenant farmers from their rightful share of harvest.
