Manila: The Corruption of a City
If the nationalism was the ideology of the Manila press, then the city was
its reality. The editors, artists and writers all lived and worked in Manila,
and so expressed their frustrations with its discomforts and decadence in
some of the angriest cartoons of the American period (1899-1941).
Costumes and characters have changed in the half century since their
publication, but Manila’s constant urban problems - poverty, corruption
and prostitution - give these cartoons an almost timeless quality.

ECHAGUE
ECHAGUE
The Distant Provinces
This second cartoons is situated at the Distant Provinces that the

provinces began at Manila door’s step, but for the city press they
were a world apart.

ECHAGUE
Colonial Condition
The third example is the Colonial Condition: that for Sophisticated
Filipino nationalist, colonialism was not a simple matter of who
occupied the executive offices in Malacanang Palace. They saw
colonialism as a pervasive condition that had penetrated the whole
of their social fabric – influencing their culture, politics, economy,
and class relations.

ECHAGUE
ECHAGUE
Uncle Sam and Little Juan
Uncle Sam underwent a striking transformation in the pages of the Philippines press. In
the early years when Filipino nationalism was at its height, Uncle Sam often appeared
crafty and predatory in his relationship with the virginal maiden. Filipinos, during the
Harisson administration, however, Uncle Sam metamorphized into a wise, kindly
looking man with a paternalistic concern for the boyish figure of Juan de la Cruz, who
had largely supplanted the maiden Filipinas as the nation’s symbol. These images are
thus a cameo of changing Filipino attitudes towards America and Americans.

ECHAGUE
The transition from the Spanish Colonial period to
the American Occupation period demonstrated
different scenario of changes and shifts in culture,
society, and politics. The selected cartoons illustrate not only
opinion of certain media outfits about the Philippine society
during the American period but also paint a broad image of
society and politics under the United States.
