 -As what you’ve seen in the picture, it refereed to the American-Spanish Colonization in the
Philippines, wherein Filipinos are in controlled by the Spaniards. When the battle of Manila Bay
happened. President McKinley and his fellow people continues to improve the Philippines like
Filipinos children are having their regular classroom, and the themosite were sent to teach the
children using the English language, but we can’t deny the fact also that all of what they did to the
country has an exchange, wherein President McKinley take an action whether the Philippines back to
the Spain or to keep it. In short, American during those time has a plan on how to improve their
economy, wherein they used the Philippines for their own benefits/good.

 Analyze the political cartoon how does it affect the Philippines in the succeeding era?

-It affect by having a less productive country, in terms of governance, economy and so on. Because
during the Spanish era Filipinos was controlled by the Spanish, wherein they don’t have their own
governance and son. And also Philippines may become a poor country, wherein we since during that
time we don’t have our own governance. On the other hand, as what I’ve observed right now
sometimes we always rely on the other country, in which we don’t take action on our own way.
