A recent art which veered away from classical art by exaggerating human
features and poking fun at its subjects. Such art genre and technique became
part of the print media as a form of social and political commentary, which

Filipino guy was trying to stop Santos because the crown was not his to begin with.

Drawn by Fernando Amorsolo and was aimed as a commentary
to working 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
to turn at the great thieves instead. He was pointing to huge warehouse containing
bulks of rice, milk, and grocery products.

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
Manila pier riding a chariot pulled by students of Liceo de Manila. Such was
condemned by the nationalists at that time.
