The book ”Philippine Cartoons – Political Caricatures of the American Era 1900-1941″ by Alfred McCoy and Alfredo Roces is a treasure trove of information on how things used to be. Aside from the cartoons featuring the Manila Carnival, and the one about the passing of an ordinance in 1930 to get live pigs off the streets (!), I love these that depict public outrage at UP following the American example and allowing coeducation. We’ve come a long way!
