Filipino Heritage



Random number between 1,965 and 2,240, page 2,083 of Filipino Heritage: The Making of the Filipino Nation, Volume 8, "The Period of Armed Struggle (1896 - 1900), Night of Heroes," contains three photographs attributed to Harper's History of the War in the Philippines, published in 1900. Note the captions, at how this source on the Filipino-American War characterized the Government of the First Republic of the Philippines as insurgent.

These photos are part of the chapter "The Banner Unfurls" with the lead "The Malolos National Assembly enhances the image and diplomatic leverage of the emerging Filipino nation." Contributed by Nicolas Zafra; on the Contributor's list described as the former chair of the Department of History, University of the Philippines, and recipient of the 1969 Cultural Heritage Award.

Featured books in liwaliw Pages this month have been pre-selected from my personal library in celebration of National Heritage Month.
