then itong lalaking nakasakop nakasuot

ng salakot na kung saan ay si Juan de la

sila sa paghuli ng mga sindikatong

bices that operate without the necessary

fored means greater desired or inv by

the politicians from either of the

[Musika]

part Good morning I'm Eliza zula in this

video presentation I will discuss to you

the analysis of the political

caricatures during the American

period So this discussion is relatively

connected to M's discussion So Here

i-analyze natin yung different

caricatures no during the American

period by Mr Alfred mcoy So this

political caricatures will speak and

Will Tell Us something about the

situation of the Philippines and the

Filipinos during the American

Good So what is caricature so when we

say caricature It is a drawing It is a

Drawing for a purpose ito iyung mga Uh

cartoons something like that drawing art

ganyan siya na may purpose May something

exaggerated meaning so when it comes to

political caricature It is a cartoons

that makes a point that makes a point

about political issue issues no Kasi

political So it Talks about the issues

regarding the politics and the events Uh

related to

politics so the transition from the

Spanish colonial period to the American

occupation period demonstrated different

Trends of changes no from Spaniards no

to Americans parang kakas nga lang sa

atin tapos sasakupin na naman tayo ng

ibang ah bansa na so through American

perod dito na nagsimula yung iba't ibang

ah pagbabago na hindi lang sa mga tao

pati na rin sa kultura natin sa society

na meron tayo at lalong-lalo na yung

politics no yung pulitika na meron sa

Pilipinas so the Americans drastically

introduced democracy to the n Nation

which is tayo yon Uh which is ang bansa

natin non ang Pilipinas ang nas Nation

dahil um the americans are are starting

to develop pa lang yung ating bansa No

that's why they introduced the democracy

to us so we all know that when we say

democracy It is a system of Government

where the power or yung kapangyarihan is

naggagaling sa mga mamamayan or yung mga

tao no Kalayaan nila yon para pumili no

kung sino yung karapatdapat sa kanilang

maging leader ng isang lugar or ng isang

bansa um so in the American period also

Filipinos were introduced to different

modernity like dahil sa mga Amerikano

nagkaroon ng opportunity yung mga Uh

Pilipino yung Pilipinas na makilala yung

makabagong henerasyon k meron ng mga

health care health cares modern

transportations different types of

modern transportations and media no so

before kasi nung Saan Spanish colonial

period pa ang ginagamit ng mga filipino

on communicating is ba nagsusulat pa but

then the American

ah occupation period doun na sila

na-introduce no sa makabagong

ah henerasyon like meron ng mga telepono

no meron ng mga sasakyan diyan na

nagsimula yung modernity sa

Pilipinas the post Independence when we

say post Independence it refers to the

period after the country gain

Independence from a colonial rule and

post filipino-american period in the

Philippines experienced differently by

Filipinos coming from different

classes so even We are all Filipinos

they are all Filipinos during that time

is they experience different treatments

Why kasi merang tinatawag na class may

mga class para sa

may CL para sa mayayaman and mahirap so

upper principalia CL is yung nak

experience ng economic prosperity sila

yung nakaka-experience ng high level of

Val or yung mga mayayaman so sila Yung

may opportunity na makapag-aral dahil

nga mikaya sila and also Ah mas

napagtutuunan sila ng pansin not unlike

sa mga mahihirap na Pilipino na hindi

sila napapansin Kasi nga wala silang

kaya no like the majority of the Poor

Filipinos remain poor no nanatili pa rin

silang mahirap nanatili pa silang

desperado sa kung paano sila mamumuhay

And they are all considered ung mga

mahihirap na Filipino before is they are

all considered a victim they are all

considered as a victim of repression

dahil ang napaka-unfair para sa kanila

na

ang tinatrato lang ng maayos is yung mga

nasa taas or nakaka-experience ng

magandang buhay o yung mga mayayaman so

start to analyze the different cartoons

with different Uh symbolic

representations that speak something

about the truth about the situation of

the Filipinos during the American period

so the first cartoon was published by

the independent May 20 1916 so to

analyze the first political cartoon this

Actually speaks about the politics kung

saan yung crown is nire-represent nito

ang ating bansa or ang Pilipinas So it

symbolizes s very or kapangyarihan

ah na dapat meron ang Pilipinas but What

happened no ano yung nangyari sa

kasaysayan natin during the Treaty of

Paris sign on December 10 1898 this

Talks

about peace agreement between the

Spanish and the United States that ended

the Spanish American War kung saan

naibenta ang Pilipinas by the Spaniards

to the Americans for 20 million US

dollar So alam natin alam natin

espcially the government of Emilio

Aguinaldo they try to express their

opinion try to oppose this things to

happen but wala silang nagagawa No they

have nothing Uh to do kasi walang mga

filipino during the Treaty of Paris

walang representative yung Filipino O

Philippines no walang stive yung

Philippines doon so ang nangyari yung

Corona yung kapangyarihan ay talagang

naibigay o naipasa sa iba so ah Parang

yung colonization na galing sa Espanya

ay ipinasa doon sa mga Amerikano So

walang nagawang mga filipino oppose sana

tayong mga Pilipino pero

um wala tayong nagawa It's like parang

ibinigay at

we know what happened after the

occupation of the Spaniards for 333

years of course So Here comes the

Americans so Americans na naman ung

sasakop sa atin So this is now The

Beginning they have the crown they have

already the philippines so in the first

cartoon It also reveals about the truth

of political dynasty so dito nagsimula

Iyung idea which is laganap nga sa tundo

during that times It speaks of severity

the crown the government given to those

relatives no parang yung ah kumbaga yung

position is pinagpapasahan lang sa

kag-anak lang din no So um nangyayari

parang ganun ung nangyari no the same sa

pagpasa ng ating bansa sa Espanya Tapos

i pensa ibinenta doon sa mga

America so the second cartoon was also

published by the independent on 16 June

1970 This was drawn by Fernando amarelo

and was aimed as a commentary to the

workings of manil pois at that perod so

we have to understand no second cartoons

we have to understand na ang American

occupation was the beginning of

modernization also the industrialization

and capitalism in the Philippine country

that's why yung mga Capitalist yung mga

upper class or Rich people we're

controlling the economy they are

controlling the natural resources or

yung kayamanan ng ating bansa kaya dito

sa second cartoons cartoon na ito It

speaks about inequality no The Gap

between the rich and the poor and this

was real happening in the Philippines

during the American period Kaya during

this period we are free but we can't

have what we deserve kasi Unfair Yung

way and how they treat Filipino no kaya

gaya ng sa

kanta ni bambo sa na habang may tatsulok

at sila ang nasa tuktok di matatapos

itong gulo kaya yung mga Pilipino is

nanatili pa ring nasa baba yung mga

mahirap na pilipino is nanatili pa nasa

baba kasi nga they are experiencing they

are experiencing Unfair

treatment the third cartoon was a

commentary on the unprecedented cases of

colorum automobiles in the CB Street so

the third caricature symbolized

the presence of the automobile coming of

the new transportation system brought by

Americans to Filipinos dito natin

makikita na ang mga Amerikano ang

nagpakilala sa makabagong system ng mga

transportasyon So

parang This is a good Sign to think

about Uh the Americans however with the

rapidly changing society that happens in

the Philippines during those times dito

na rin natin makikita na kulang pa rin

yung mga policies and laws when it comes

to the automobiles dahil ah nagkaroon ng

increase sa nagkaroon ng increase sa

colorum or ito yung mga vehicles na

unlicensed no na isinasakay nila yung

mga tao around City na walang lisensya

so hindi masyadong naasikaso yung ah

pag-issue ng driver's license during

that time and also mas yung mga traffic

enforcers police Traffic enforcers is

wala silang pak sa mga violations ng

traffic rules during the American period

Kaya ito yung mga naging problema ah

during the

American so the fourth cartoon depicts a

cinem a cinema So this in the fourth

cartoon actually actually the spent has

thought Filipinos conservatism kasi part

iyan sa Christian sa Christianity sa

catholicism and We also as a Muslim

amoro is also conservative when it comes

to sexual issues no so however when the

Americans when the American occupation

ah they Tau Filipinos to become

Liberated they taught the Filipinos to

become Liberated when it comes to sex

Kaya nga sa historians UM it calls this

one as sexual Revolution ito Iyung term

ng mga bagong Generation yung ating all

the traditional

conservative so definitely this speaks

of two contradicting cultures the

cultural conservatism and culture of

liberalism so as you can see parang

dahil sa mga Americans na-adopt ng mga

Pilipino no na-adopt ng ng ibang

Pilipino pala rather yung mga ginagawa

nila na even sa public places they are

kissing no may mga nakikita tayong mga

filipino na even sa public places they

are kissing they are making scandals and

so on

na so on that Spaniards didn't t us so

parang that is the Uh one good thing na

pwedeng mai-in ng mga Spaniards no

during those Uh

time the next cartoon was published by

the independent on 27 November

1915 so in this cartoon it actually

means that the Americans were Actually

control controlling or subjugating the

Filipinos they control Us by

brainwashing so ginawa nila tayong

mangmang using harmless or seemingly

harmless colonization like sinasabihan

nila tayo ng mga sweet quids that behind

Those sweet quids we Actually their dark

motives parang sinasabihan nila tayo ng

sweet words para sa atin It is a sweet

words but then behind that meron Iyung

um ibang mini na parang tayong mga

Pilipino ginagawa nila tayong mga tanga

or something na parang inuut-ut

nila so the last cartoon was published

by lipang calabao on 24 August 197 so

last cartoon it actually shows an image

of what kind of society and politics we

had under the American occupation so

dito natin makikita that the early

Filipinos or this Filipinos during this

time did not really understand hindi

talaga nila naintindihan kung ano yung

kahag ng democracy So Here Comes The

establishment of different parties my

nationalist party They said the

federalist party so dito natin makikita

yyung competition between parties

emerging of the newly parties or

political parties kung saan was usually

composed by the elites or the rich

people so dito natin makikita Iyung

reality na may mga Uh politicians that

they will transfer to another Uh party

that is is more powerful no compared to

the others Actually This is still

happening Uh right now no So this is a

reality in this is not the real essence

of democracy kasi pinagka watak-watak

nila iyung mga Pilipino so the history

of our country tell us that division

will not will not bring good to our

society which is true that that It's

still happening in our in our political

system na kung sino yung may madaming ah

boto or Sino ung may madaming kakilala

may Uh mas powerful na kapangyarihan sa

isang Uh sa isang bansa sa isang Uh

community is doon sila kumakampi and

that is the real sad reality of our Uh

country so to sum up the analysis of the

political caricature during the American

period those political cartoons Actually

speaks of the truth it Speak the

condition of the Filipinos the poor

condition of the Filipino with the

coming up of capitalism The Gap between

the rich and the Poor the government we

have we had established and that what We

also Learn from the Americans with the

democratic style so these are realities

no to the Filipinos to the philippin

society during the time of american

occupation
