These masks initiate loud laughter when they make of children look like monsters, witches, lions, tigers, goats, rabbits, Indians of the Wild West or some funny Pinoy character. I am speaking of the mask used by a person who wants to identify himself with some role, or when one wants to put up a front, or when he wants to appear as someone he really is not.

These masks initiate loud laughter when they make of children look like monsters, witches, lions, tigers, goats, rabbits, Indians of the Wild West or some funny Pinoy character. I am speaking of the mask used by a person who wants to identify himself with some role, or when one wants to put up a front, or when he wants to appear as someone he really is not.
