Following the Foreword the remainder of the work is mostly comprised of thirty-four duotone photographs printed mostly two per page but occasionally with from one to five per page. The photographs feature numerous scenic and street views in and around Zamboanga including various "Moro houses" and about fifteen portraits of indigenous Filipinos such as a "Moro woman weaving materials for head-turbans and sarongs" a view inside a "weaving school" "Yakan Moros on the island of Basilan" "Muhammad Jamallul Sultan of Sulu" "Joloano Warriors" "Moro Kulintang" and their musical instruments Bogobo and Cotabato warriors "Bajaos - the sea gypsies of Sulu" and "Bogobo musicians."<br /> <br /> The final two pages of the work are taken up with two poems -- the first is a traditional Filipino poem entitled "No Te Vayas" noted as "Zamboanga's 'Auld Lang Syne" and one titled simply "Zamboanga" by Susan Hart Dyer. The front cover is decorated with a central photograph of an indigenous sailing vessel surrounded by an illustrated beach scene signed at bottom left "Jh. Mendoza."

19363828<p>A wonderfully colorful map of a portion of the Philippines from the very early days of aviation in the country. PATCO the Philippine Aerial Taxi Company was organized in 1930 primarily to fly workers in the gold mining centers of Baguio and Paracale to and from Manila. With the fading of the mining boom in the late 1930s PATCO's fortunes waned; it ceased operations in 1940 and its franchise was assumed by the newly created Philippine Air Line in 1941.</p><p>The map was drawn by D.B. Santos. The cartoon-like illustrations portray a country rich in natural resources and agricultural hunting and fishing activities including a man spearing a shark from an outrigger canoe. The illustrations are very reminiscent of the style of Ruth Taylor White who coincidentally visited the Philippines in 1930 and produced <em>A Cartograph of the Major Philippine Islands. "The Riviera of the Orient."</em> in that year.</p><p>A delightful and uncommon pictorial map.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Printed color map. Folded as issued with a bit of extraneous creasing. Wear at some fold lines including short separations in the blank margins. Very small fold intersection breaks in two spots. Overall good.</p><p>ICN 7816.</p> PATCO Air Lines

List3148Vigan The Philippines early 20th century. Photograph measuring 5 x 6 ¾ inches mounted on heavy cardstock. Manuscript caption recto. Wear and some damage to edges; excellent. A photograph of a group of young Filipino men in suits with two white women and a child posing in front of a building. The caption reads “Grove Methodist Dormitory Boys and Missionaries Viganâ€. The Methodist Episcopal Church began planning its missionary outreach to the Philippines shortly after the 1898 American victory in the Spanish Civil War when the Philippines became an American colony. The mission center in Vigan the capital of Ilocos Sur on the island of Luzon was opened in 1904 headed by Kansan Berndt O. Peterson.1 Missionaries opened schools—with the aim of both educating and Americanizing their students—and made Vigan the base for evangelizing around the region. According to the UMC’s history of their activities in Asia many Filipinos saw the church’s activities as an extension of American imperialism leading to Nicolás Zamora’s foundation of the Iglesia Evangelica Metodista en las Islas Filipinas in 1909.<br /> <br /> 1 Wade Crawford Barclay History of Methodist Missions Vol. 4 The Board of Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Church 1949. unknown
189813092New York: Muller Luchsinger & Co 1898. Color chromolithograph 16 x 20 inches printed on thick glossy paper. Corners a bit chipped several short closed edge tears minor surface wear. Image area still vibrant and clean. Very good overall. A striking and very rare lithograph capturing an important moment during the Spanish-American War specifically the American Navy's assault on Manila Bay in the Philippines in 1898. In the present scene three U.S. warships from the Asiatic Squadron in the left and middle including Admiral Dewey's flagship the U.S.S. Olympia fire their guns toward a few retreating ships flying the Spanish flag. A Spanish ship at middle right is almost completely sunken with just a portion of the flag peaking above the water. The scene depicts the first major engagement of the Spanish-American War a decisive victory for the American Navy that stands as one of the most lop-sided naval battles in history. During the course of the encounter the Spanish Pacific Squadron was destroyed and effectively ended Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. The bombardment was commanded by Rear Admiral George Dewey 1837-1917 whose head-and-shoulders portrait appears in the bottom left corner.<br /> <br /> The work was accomplished by the New York firm of Muller Luchsinger & Company a prolific but still somewhat obscure producer of prints lithographs and chromolithographs in the latter-19th and early-20th centuries. OCLC records just two institutional copies at the Library of Congress and the Clements Library. A dynamic and patriotic American naval scene picturing the United States Navy's obliteration of the Spanish Navy in Manila. Muller, Luchsinger & Co unknown
1945List2748Philippines 1945. Single letter; five 8.5 x 11†pages. Pinhole at top of first page missing final pages overall fine. The unknown author of this letter was an American Jesuit missionary in the Philippines who before the war was a novice living in Novaliches just outside Manila. He apparently had not written a significant letter home for a long time: in this letter written in April of what is likely 1945 he recounts his experiences from between December 8 1941 and early January of 1945 shortly before the civilian POW camp in which he was interned was liberated.<br /> <br /> After the “Nips†bomb Pearl Harbor “A feverish month ensuedâ€:<br /> <br /> “We proceeded to put the Community on ‘war-time alert’ with all hands occupied in digging air-raid trenches camouflaging our fortress-like house with a garlanded roof and mud-daubed walls; grain supplies were rushed in against the hour of need. We felt that all it might take Uncle Sam all of six months to put an end to the efforts of the pretender.â€<br /> Around Christmas they evacuated to the Jesuit Ateneo Grade School then in Intramuros as the Japanese were advancing quickly towards Novaliches. Of course this did not prove to be much safer:<br /> <br /> “When darkness came the Japs began their bombing of the Port Area. The bombs began to bounce off the pavement; bombers just skimming our roof-top on their way. We spent the night on our tummies and how we prayed. We thought that each decade of the beads would be our last this side of Purgatory. . When the church sto Domingo was hit the floor beneath us did some tricks and we were lifted up a bit and let down amidst the dust and smoke that poured in from above.â€<br /> <br /> The missionaries try to “salvage important papers and other valuables from the Mission House prior to abandoning it to the fire which threatened the entire Walled City.†During this time they and “a thousand refugees†live in the Ateneo while “Dawn and night raids were supplied by the Japs with nary an American plane to say to them no†– American forces had taken a serious hit and withdrawn outside Manila. It was declared an open city before “the little scrawny but arrogant Japs came into the city and took over†in January of 1942.<br /> <br /> The missionaries persuade the Japanese to let them stay in the Ateneo:<br /> <br /> “We convinced them that it was impossible for us to give up the building because it belonged to the Pope and the Vatican State would hold us responsible. This argument with many ingenious trimmings enabled us to hold on to the Ateneo until June ‘43 when the main building was taken for a military hospitalâ€.<br /> <br /> The author describes how despite what he calls his “partial internment†in Manila he is able to get around checkpoints by pretending to be Belgian. He finishes his studies and begins work at a Belgian convent in Paranaque in February of 1943 living between there and Manila:<br /> <br /> “Incidentally none of this would have been possible if the Japs had gumption enough to find out that I was one of the hated Americans. . All vehicles were obliged to stop here a checkpoint at Baclaran and all passengers get down and file between a Jap sentry and a Filipino constabulary soldier to be searched for hidden arms etc. Since several Belgian Fathers not considered enemy aliens frequently passed this way I was able to walk through unmolested as an unoffending Belgian. . I carefully kept my helmet covering the tell-tale red arm-band which was worn on the arm furtherest away from the Jap. The Filipino would do no more than give me a knowing grin.â€<br /> <br /> On July 10 1944 all of the American civilian POWs are taken to internment camps in Santo Tomas and then Los Baños. In Los Baños the POWs cut wood repair roads and farm. Los Baños would be liberated in February of 1945; the author paints a slightly confusing picture of the leadup to this:<br /> <br /> “Conditions generally ‘worsened’ when on Jan. 8th about the time that the American troops landed at Mindero an island just across from Batangas the Japs got jittery believing that the Yanks were going to do the obvious and cross over the bay to Batangas and they the Japs at Batanga decamped! ‘You are free but remain in camp until the Americans come. Outside your camp Japanese troops will shoot any who leave.’ Great was the joy in Mudville. From nowhere came flag poles on which we quickly unfurled American and British flags .; a short-wave radio was set up and we enjoyed daily Frisco broadcasts .â€<br /> <br /> It sounds as if the missionary was reporting contrary to the usual narrative of the Los Baños raid that the Japanese had essentially given up control of the camp and were like the prisoners simply waiting for the Americans to come get their people. Perhaps something further happened in the nearly two intervening months; however the remainder of the letter is missing.<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of modern Jesuit history and of the civilian POW experience during the Second World War. unknown
19454668New York 1945. Very good. Sixteen issues totaling 75pp. Legal-size sheets stapled. Previously folded. Light wear and toning. An extensive run of newsletters by a New York-based aid group Relief for Americans in the Philippines. Included here are issues 9 12 14 through 18 and 20 through 28 which were published between 1942 and 1945. The organization was devoted to the support of Americans who were imprisoned at San Tomas Gabuio and other camps after Japan occupied the Philippines during World War II. At the outset of the war the Philippines were a commonwealth of the United States but within three weeks of the attack on Pearl Harbor the Japanese seized control. The 20000 American and 80000 Filipino troops on the ground departed and any remaining American or British citizens were rounded up in Manila and transferred to the University of Santo Tomas where they were left to fend for themselves. The only exceptions were a 7:30 pm roll call each night and the use of room monitors. The background of the captives varied wildly from business executives and retired soldiers to prostitutes. At the end of the war the total number of prisoners liberated was 3785 2870 of which were American.<br />  <br /> Issue 14 remarks on the first anniversary of the non-profit organization: “On May 8th 1942 just a year ago and two days after the fall of Corregidor our organization came into being for furthering plans for the shipment of food medical supplies and other necessities for the internees and also to serve as a clearing house and point of dissemination for information concerning the welfare of these internees.†The monthly newsletter prints news and developments from the camps in the Pacific and documents the efforts of the organization to provide aid to the prisoners there. The issues also print a running list of all those believed to be in the Philippines “solely for the purpose of obtaining names and addresses of the nearest relatives of who we have no record.†A scarce record of this little-known relief effort during World War II. unknown
