1,The first example shown was published in The Independent on May 20, 1916.

● The cartoon shows a politician from Tondo named Dr. Santos, passing his crown
to his brother in law, Dr. Barcelona.

● A Filipino guy (as depicted wearing salakot and Barong Tagalog) was trying to
stop Santos, telling the latter giving Barcelona the crown because it is not his to
begin with.

2,The second cartoon was also published by The Independent on June 16, 1917. This
was drawn by Fernando Amorsolo and was aimed as a commentary to the workings of
the Manila Police at that period.

•Here, we see a Filipino child who stole a skinny chicken because he had nothing to eat.
The police officer was relentlessly pursuing the said child. A man wearing a salakot,
labeled Juan de la Cruz was grabbing the officer, telling him to leave the small-time
pickpockets and thieves and to turn at the great thieves instead.
He was pointing to huge warehouses containing bulks of rice, milk and grocery
products.

3.The third cartoon was a commentary on the unprecedented cases of colorum

automobiles in the city streets.
•The Philippine Free Press published this commentary when fatal accidents involving
colorum vehicles and taxis occurred too often already.

4.The fourth cartoon depicts a cinema.

● A blown-up police officer was at the screen saying that couples are not allowed to
neck and make love in the theater. Two youngsters looked horrified while an
older couple seemed amused.

5,The next cartoon was published by The Independent on November 27, 1915.

•Here, we see the caricature of Uncle Sam riding a chariot pulled by Filipinos
wearing school uniforms. The Filipino boys were carrying American objects like baseball
bats, whiskey and boxing gloves. McCoy, in his caption to the said
cartoon, it says that this cartoon was based on an event in 1907 when William Howard
Taft was brought to the Manila Pier riding a chariot pulled by students of Liceo de
Manila. Such was condemned by the nationalists at that time.
6.The last cartoon was published by Lipang Kalabaw on August 24, 1907.

•In the picture, we can see Uncle Sam rationing porridge to the politicians and
members of the Progresista Party (sometimes known as Federelista Party) while
members of the Nacionalista Party looked on and wait for their turn.

•This cartoon depicts the patronage of the United Stated being committed to
politicians from one party over the other.
