Leslie de Chavez is a contemporary artist from the Philippines known for his satirical works. He produced a work titled "Mr. Chin's Pet Project" which critiques imperialism and neoliberalism in the Philippine context. The work depicts a construction of a massive industrial site, likely an export processing zone, with workers in precarious conditions and their rights suppressed. The local compradors and foreign capitalists benefit from the cheap labor and raw materials, resulting in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal Philippine society. De Chavez offers a powerful critique on the government's subservience to the interests of foreign capitalists and the local elite
