    'Pugad Baboy' cartoonist Pol Medina, fired by PDI, smells a 'consPIGracy'



    MANILA - The Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) has fired Pol Medina Jr., the creator of the hugely popular Pugad Baboy comic strip.

    Rival newspaper Philippine Star said Medina was booted out allegedly because of his comic strip that appeared on June 4 issue about a ***ist comment about students from an exclusive girls' school that got the ire of netizens.

    "On Tuesday's issue of Pugad Baboy, created by cartoonist Apolonio 'Pol' Medina, Jr., two women were talking about the supposed hypocrisy of Christians for condemning gays and lesbians, and condoning homo***uality among female students in exclusive schools at the same time," the Star said.


    However, Medina had a different account of the events that led to his firing.

    "If you zoom in on that particular strip that got me fired, you'll see that the strip first appeared in MARCH. No reaction then. It was reissued after i made a series of anti-marcos strips, then BOOM! nag-trending sa twitter. interesting. I smell a consPIGracy..." Medina said in his Facebook page.

    Prior to this June issue, Medina published a strip where the main characters of Pugad Baboy denounced Martial Law, despite its creator being 100 percent Ilocano and his father being a airforce general Ilocano at that.

    Na pansin ata ng mga taga CBCP at nagreklamo... Tinakot di bibigyan ng eternal salvation mga PDI.

    she is the daughter-in-law of the late governor cocoy romualdez, youngest brother of imelda.

    so pwede din si imelda and children ang nagpa-sisante/suspinde kay p. medina, kasi panay tirada sa pugad baboy lately kay macoy. a case of polgas biting the hand that feeds him, hehehehe!

    i can't name any other local comic strip with the same wit and humor and acceptable artwork. Beerkada maybe, that's about it.
