# Partners in Philippine Progress (English poster distributed in the Philippines)

Two men in blue silhouette shake hands while one holds up a 'Union Contract' with a seal. Between them, in tan, workers cut and bundle cane or grain before a mill with two chimneys. The headline is 'Partners in Philippine Progress' and the base line says 'See "Bagong Umaga" when it comes to your community'. The tell is glittering-generalities: 'partners' and 'progress' are virtue words attached to a signed labour contract, with no figures or terms shown.
