    This caricature depicts the current political, economic, and socio-cultural situation in the Philippines. It shows a blindfolded man representing the Filipino people being misled by a government official wearing a mask over a bag of money, symbolizing corruption and mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cracks in the man's stool and walls ready to fall on a child represent a series of events that could ruin lives due to government incompetence. A dim light above symbolizes a dark future if incapable leadership continues.

    Description:
    In the caricature seen above, there is a man blindfolded (representing the people of the nation)
    and on his left side is another man (representing the government) wearing a facemask on top of a
    bag of money. The government is trying to assure the nation that everything is going well with
    the management of the country, but the people already know the truth about the current situation,
    corruption is at an all-time high (represented by the bag of money), there is no presence of
    equality, and the current Covid-19 pandemic is not being dealt with properly (represented by
    improper wearing of mask), that’s why the man in the middle is wearing a blindfold, we
    Filipinos just seem so powerless at this point, that it feels like everything that we do will have no
    impact towards changing the country for the better, resulting in others turning a blind eye to the
    situation and just accepting the fact that the nation is on the brink of collapsing (represented by
    cracks on the stool).
    Moreover, to the right of the man in the middle is a row of walls about to fall on the kid. The
    walls represent a series of unfortunate events (domino effect) that is about to ruin the lives of
    millions of people that have dreams and aspirations to pursue (represented by the kid), all
    because of the incompetency of the government. Also, the small and dim light above them
    represents the dark and distant future of the nation, that will surely occur if incapable individuals
    continue to run the country.
