    Social Function of Art

    These editorial cartoons criticize the Philippine government's skewed priorities in COVID-19 testing, showing VIPs and wealthy politicians receiving immediate testing while frontline workers and others with greater need were not tested. They illustrate how prioritizing the powerful few for testing over those most at risk has negative social costs, especially as it allows the virus to potentially spread among the undertested populations.

    Testing kit priorities. Editorial Cartoon for March 27, Skewed priorities.

    Editorial Cartoon for March 25,


    2020 - Philippine Star 2020 – The Freeman

    VIP Testing. Editorial Cartoon – Renan Ortiz

    These editorial cartoons expose


    the social function of art as it conveys a message of protest and opposition on the government’s
    response to the pandemic. It illustrates the actual social situation of the Philippines in the time of Covid-
    19 pandemic where VIPs - people who are very rich, or one who is in politics, usually both, are being
    tested immediately. They were being prioritized for swab testing even though more people urgently
    needed immediate testing more than these so-called “VIPs”. PUI’s, PUM’s, and even front-liners were
    not even tested, but they are the ones who badly needed it. These VIP-testing and skewed priorities of
    the government have a negative social cost, especially for those who are really infected by the virus.
