Catalina Santos, the Counter Princess
Catalina Santos is a character that the author made to
respond to Disney’s imperialism over the Philippines. She was originally a
character demo test by former Disney animator Aaron Blaise called ‘’Ophelia’’,
as you can see in the picture below,
So here is the story,
In March 2022, Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed
the Parental Rights in Education bill, which forbade the talk of LGBT in
classrooms.
As a result, the staunchly immoral and pro-LGBT Disney
fought back against DeSantis, thus Disney started to enter the American Culture
Wars. Many conservative/traditionalist parents in America feared for their
children’s lives saying Disney would brainwash them into immorality.
The news later spread that Disney alongside other ‘’woke’’
organizations were brainwashing children in schools about LGBT and other
immorality. This continued until 2024 when Ron DeSantis and Disney made peace
with each other, and when Trump revoked DEI for good.
However, from a Filipino perspective, it is very
different.
From the perspective of a Filipino, this is a symbol of
Americanism imposing its liberal values on to traditional-minded Filipinos, and
this brings back painful memories of the Philippine American War of 1899, in
which America subdued the Philippines.
If President Biden aborted many babies, and mutilated
many children in the name of transgenderism, with Disney in full support, so
did President McKinley order the massacre of our people in 1899.
Recently, there is a move in the US government to
criminalize gender surgery for minors. Even if they protest the transgender
mutilation of children, they will forget the mutilation of our people in 1899, in
the name of imperialism.
However, this even applies to fiction.
For many years, Filipinos do not have a cartoon
character of their own, because they had been silenced by Disney since the late
1940s because of American influence in the Philippines.
There had been Filipino cartoon films made in the late
90s to early 2000s, but are not as successful as the Disney foreign
imperialists here.
It was not until today, that I created Catalina to
fight off the Disney characters who had been imposing anti-Catholic (hence in
my cartoons, Disney characters are anti-Catholic) and anti-Filipino values on
to the Filipinos.
Catalina is a symbol of traditional Catholic values
and those many Filipino cartoon characters who were never created because of
Disney’s cultural imperialism, as well as those innocent children victimized by
Disney, both for LGBT and non-LGBT purposes.
According to my story, Catalina was a Cebuano woman
from the 1670s, during the Spanish colonial era, around the same time as the
martyr Pedro Kalungsod, who is of noble descent, who marries a Cebuano nobleman
named Alejandro Santos, who fight against the enemies of Spain, the Philippines
and the Catholic Church.
I remember, when I was attending the mass of the
SSPX-Resistance in February 2025, after mass, the Carmelite priest, Father John
said to me to avoid watching Disney films. I told him that I liked to make
cartoons, and Father John said that I will make my own cartoons that will teach
traditional and Catholic values. And it happened. Father John interceded for
me.
For those traditionalist families, it is time to dump Disney
Princesses and instead focus on Catalina Santos. Whenever you are Filipino or
not, as long as you are traditionalist Catholics, you will be inspired by her
to resist against Disney, just as how many great Catholics in the past such as
the Vendee in France, the Cristeros in Mexico and the Carlists in Spain
resisted liberal tyranny. Spread Catalina’s picture far and wide.
