In The Name of The Father

In the Name of the Father depicts the domination by all three nations Spain, United States and Japan. The half skeletal face symbolized the hypocrasy of Spanish religious leaders, the eagle symbolized the United States possesioned of the Philippines for 40 years and the Samurai Sword symbolized Japan's invasion of the Philippines during the World War II. The snake symbolized the Filipino people that betrayed their own country for their own purposes.
