Patunhaya ang Imong Kaugalingnan (Preserve Your Independence) (Cebuano poster distributed in the Philippines)
A Cebuano-language poster showing the Philippine flag, its sun and three stars, behind an unnamed portrait of a young man in a high collar. The only text is a two-line slogan urging the viewer to make secure his or her independence. The tell is transfer, with glittering generalities: the flag and a dignified portrait lend national feeling to an unspecified call to protect independence.
