Salamat/Thanks for sharing these exhibits from the old Pusod Philippine environmental and kultural center and the 2001 article by Benjamin Pimentel. There was a book published by the curators of the exhibit in 2004 called “THE FORBIDDEN BOOK”. It goes deeper into the shift in media portrayals and lays bare the racism used in many of the cartoons during the U.S. invasion of the Philippines. Here is a link to an article published about “THE FORBIDDEN BOOK” in 2014: http://asianjournal.com/lifestyle/the-forbidden-book-10-years-later/
