HAPPENINGS DURING ELECTION IN PHILIPPINES

Election is nearly come again. Old senators, Vice President, Mayors, Councilors,
Congressman, and even actress and actors filed their Certificate of Candidacy on this coming
2022 elections.
All of them already planned on what strategy they will use to persuade Filipino citizens to
choose them as their leaders. Some are already started their campaign, they conduct motorcades
and meetings about their platform, their projects if they will win and their promises to citizens to
get their attention and their support.
One of the biggest strategy of every political candidate is brainwashing Filipinos to get
their support, they promise everything just to get them to their desired position in government.
They even use some bible verses on their campaign materials like banner,signages and tshirts
that they give. Other will tell their hard life, their experience before they reach their position to
get the feelings of the voters who will relate to their stories. They even use money as a bribe I
exchange to the vote of Filipino citizen.
They use politics not to help Filipinos but they use it as an advantage to take all the funds
for the citizens in our country. Greed take them to politics. They didn’t even fear god about their
bat habits as long as they have all the power and money.
But I just want to make it clear that there are still a honest politicians out there who will
serve us right and get what we deserve as their countrymen.

-Filipinos are being controlled or ruled by Americans.
3. The Content
“War Against Speculator”
- It depicts 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 Sialkot named
Juan de la Cruz was grabbing the officer, telling him to leave the small time pockets and
thieves and to turn at the great thieves instead. He was pointing to huge ware house
containing bulks of rice , milk and grocery products.

“Uncle Sam riding a Chariot”

-Uncle Sam riding a chariot which is being pulled by Filipinos who are wearing school
uniforms and they carried some American things like boxing gloves, whiskey and
baseball bat. Mc Coy said this cartoon was based on real event that happened in 1907
when William Howard Taft was brought to the Manila pier riding a chariot pulled by
students of Lycia de Manila which condemned by nationalist at that time.

4. Your OWN analysis.

“War Against Speculator”

- For me, Americans discriminated Filipinos by seeing them as poor people,
uncivilized and a thief without even thinking their wrong doings.
They harass Filipinos and act like they are the one who own the Philippines.

“Uncle Sam riding a Chariot”

- Since Americans controlling Filipinos, Filipinos doesn’t have choice only to follow
what Americans desire. They treat Filipinos as a low type of people like animals,
they didn’t even care if Filipinos die from hunger they only care for themselves
they are inhuman. Even some innocent students ordered them to pull it’s chariot.
