Pugad Baboy One
The first compilation of Pugad Baboy comic strips
Cartoons and narrative
Apolonio “Pol” Medina Jr.
1997
Collection: Design Center of the Philippines
Pugad Baboy by Pol Medina Jr. caught the popular Filipino imagination for its droll, critical, and affectionate view of Filipino life in urban-poor precincts. Featuring a large cast of characters familiar in television sitcoms “located” in the same socio-economic demography, Medina’s cartooning and writing virtuosity created a comic mirror to a life almost universally recognized in the Philippines. This mirror shows human density, smiling faces, and two-dot eyes close together: images of a slightly deranged, easy-going population.
