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

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

1947475Manila 1947. Very good. 24pp. Quarto. Original printed wrappers bound with folding metal fasteners. Small original photo laid in. A fascinating mimeograph guide published by the U.S. Army in the Philippines to assist soldiers and civilian personnel that were being transported back to the United States or to other posts overseas at the end of World War II. The transports all travelled from Manila to Fort Mason in San Francisco or the Oakland Army Base. The guide is quite detailed and like military manuals everywhere sought to foresee all contingencies from detailed information about the types of vessels used as transports their safety procedures American customs allowances and other procedures at the American ports of entry to very specific advice about how to tip ship stewards and advice on dealing with seasickness "far more a disease of the mind than of the body". The final pages contain several forms required for re-entry and a small section listing the "responsibilities" of military personnel on board the transports. With a small photo of a Filipino band watching a transport departing Manila harbor dated June 13 1947 on the verso. Not in OCLC. unknown books
