ng kapangyarihan. Isa itong criticism sa nepotismo sa politika ng Pilipinas.

Example: Manila Police Commentary

• A child steals a chicken out of hunger, chased by police.

• 'Juan de la Cruz' intervenes, urging police to focus on bigger criminals.

• Highlights social justice and economic disparity.

Pinapakita po dito ang isang bata na nagnakaw ng manok dahil sa gutom,


hinahabol ng pulis. Si 'Juan de la Cruz' ay nakialam, hinihikayat ang pulis na
mag focus sa mas malalaking kriminal. Binibigyang-diin nito ang social
justice at ang agwat ng economic equality.

Pinapakita naman nito ang mga pilipinong humihila ng chariot na may sakay
na American leader, na siinsymbolize ang empluwensya ng America sa
education at culture natin

Example: Patronage Politics

• Uncle Sam distributes resources to politicians from rival parties.

• Highlights political dependency on American support.

Ipinipinapakita dito na si uncle sam nag didistribute ng mga resources sa

pagdepende ng politika sa suporta ng amerika

Reflection and conclusion

• Political caricatures reflect historical events and social issues.

• A powerful tool for critique, awareness, and change.

• Understanding these cartoons helps us appreciate history and media


literacy.

Ayun ang political caricatures ay parang visual commentaries, sinasalamin


nila ang essence ng historical events and societal issues sa paraan that’s
both thought provoking at madaling maunawaan. They’re not just art; sila rin
ay isang paraan ng kritisismo at isang tagapagsimula para sa awareness at
pagbabago
