(1990-1941)

“Philippine
Alfred McCoy’s
Cartoons”
 A Glance at Selected Philippines
Political Caricature in Alfred McCoy's
Philippine Cartoons:
Political Caricature of the American
Era(1900-1941) .
 In his book Philippine Cartoons: Political
Caricature of the American Era (1900-1941) ,
Alfred McCoy, together with Alfredo Roces,
compiled political cartoons published in
newspaper dailies and periodicals in the
aforementioned time period.
 The first example 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 to stop giving Barcelona the
crown because it is not his to begin with.
 The second cartoon was also
published by The Independent on 16
June 1917. This was drawn by Fernando
Amorsolo and was aimed as a
commentary to the workings of 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 turn at
the great thieves instead. He was pointing
to huge warehouses containing bulks of
rice, milk, and grocery products.
 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.
 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.
The cartoon was published by The
Independent on 27 November 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, 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.
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 the Federalista
Party) while members of the Nacionalista Party
look on and wait for their turn. This cartoon
depicts the patronage of the United States
being coveted by politicians from either of the
party.
