# Mag-uban kanunay (Together Always) (Cebuano poster distributed in Asia)

Two bare-chested young men walk side by side against a grey sky, one in a round helmet carrying a plough on his shoulder, the other in a steel helmet with a rifle slung. The caption in Cebuano reads 'Together always'. The poster promotes unity between farmers and soldiers. The tell is plain-folks plus glittering-generalities: ordinary workers and fighters are paired in an idealised pose under a bare slogan, with no named programme or request.
