The death of former president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III witnessed Filipino artists making caricatures and various forms of art in his memory. Aquino, the Philippines 15th president, had passed away on June 24 aged 61.

Since Aquino was well-known for his stand on the West Philippine sea problem, Kevin Eric Raymundo alias “Tarantadong Kalbo” chose to honor this effort in the form of a cartoon.
