I drew this for a history assignment. Here's my explanation that was required:
If I may be honest, this assignment took me back to 2019. I used to make comics of all 3 periods of colonisation in Philippine history. I usually draw things called "countryhumans" for these comics. It's a shame that I lost my old book where I used to draw them, I had a lot of drawings. I was fuelled by nostalgia during the entire thing, and this is the end of my small explanation on my cartoon.
For the symbolisms, however, is a different story. Everything was so cloudy in my head and the only thing I could come up with was the picture above.
So, in this context, the US is twisting his speech to the Philippines. The Philippines in my drawing is a child, to resemble a lot of things. He is learning how to self-rule, so I decided to make him a little kid. The US is a grown man because "he knows better" since he's older.
