Benigno Ramos: Bounty Hunter - Notes About The Arc

Notes About The Arc

• Benigno Ramos: Bounty Hunter is the first story arc to feature Igno, who was first introduced in 1998, as a lead character. His only other appearance is as a minor character in Private Investigator!.
• In a scene occurring after the jueteng lords' arrest, Polgas reveals to Igno yet another of his disguises: The Publisher (yet another spoof of the Punisher). He describes himself as publishing the works of Pol Medina, Jr. while holding a copy of Pugad Baboy 18, an in-joke to the fact that Pol Medina publishes his own work under his company Pol Medina Jr. Novelties.
• This story arc introduces Pugad Baboy's version of The Punisher's skull symbol used for the Polisher and Publisher guises: a Polgas-shaped skull instead of a human's.
• The Los Kosas Muntinlupas, appearing briefly in the story arc, are supposed friends of Igno during his incarceration in Bilibid. They appeared on the covers of Disi-Sais! (Pugad Baboy 16), 18 (Pugad Baboy 18) and the back cover of Pugad Baboy 19 but merely as stock characters. They are later introduced properly in Pugad Baboy XX, in a minor arc devoted to them and Igno. Their names are given as Wakali (has a mole on his nose), Lino (the skinny member), and Don (bald with a moustache).
