Revista de la Decena
"Revista de la decena" was a section within the satiric newspaper in Spanish called La Puya. It intended to feature current affairs in the Philippines with sarcasm, following the fashion of satiric newspapers in Spain. According to Wenceslao Retana, it was founded in 1892 by the Spaniard Adolfo Puya y Ruíz."Revista de la decena" spearheaded several numbers as an editorial. It featured a dialogue between two people, a Spaniard and a Filipino of lower status, who addresses the Spaniard as señor. They talk casually about the state of affairs in the Philippines. At a given moment, the dialogue addresses a clash between Moros and Spanish troops, and one of the speakers expresses that it would be better to wipe out the Moros for their “not being Christian, not paying taxes, and not being good for anything”, to which the other agrees.
