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

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

Light even toning to text. An early and seemingly-unrecorded promotional touting the people and scenery in Mindanao and Sulu in the southern Philippines in the first decade of the 20th century. The work opens with a Foreword detailing the positive aspects of Mindanao particularly its principal city described here as the "Metropolis of Mindanao and Sulu" with "a population of more than thirty thousand a mixture of Moros or Mohammedan Filipinos Christian Filipinos Chinese Japanese and Europeans." 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." The inside front cover contains an illustration of the Philippine Islands from Batanes down to Sulu. We could locate no other copies of the work by title and imprint information in OCLC.
