Philippine Daily Inquirer's Editorial Caricature: 'In Aid of Legislation'


The Quest for Power

I just love this caricature from today’s Philippine Daily Inquirer editorial page.

I think that the attendant controversies surrounding the recent wiretapping issues have been lucidly condensed by this cartoon; succinctly the message is…the quest for power.

While the mobs have been mesmerized by the recent drama (we Filipinos simply adore dramas and would find any event to make up our heart’s desire), it appears that the underlying factors driving today’s rumpus have been largely ignored. I do hope that we wake up before the drama does turn into a tragedy.
