I hope not to forget any of them and if I have, I ask for their understanding. My greatest acknowledgement goes to my parents, Juan Cano and Sabina Garcia. They have always unconditionally supported all that I have decided to undertake in my life. They have been suffering my absence from Spain, and they have invested their whole life to offer me what I need. I do expect to repay their sacrifice and I hope they feel proud of this work. My pre-field-work was in Manila. I have a utang na lóob (debt of gratitude) to Dr. Filomeno Aguilar from Ateneo de Manila, and Dr. Rico José , chairman of the Department of History at the University of the Philippines. Dr Jose helped me to get permission to do my research in the library of U.P. I thank everyone from the library for their kind help. I thank as well the director of the National Archives of the Philippines, Ricardo L. Manapat, and the chief Archivist, Teresita R. Ignacio, for their predisposition to help me during the short time I was in Manila. I have a special acknowledgement for Dr. Bernardita Churchill who shared with me some documents, which turned out to become indispensable for some arguments in this thesis. I thank the Asian Research Institute for funding my trip to do my main research in the United States. It was a long pilgrimage to different i universities in which I met interesting people and above all I found friends. My first stage was Chicago. I left three friends who made my life very easy and comfortable. The first one is Jim who allowed me to live in his beautiful house during my stay in Chicago; the second one is Barbara and the third Maria. All of them, thank you. As for my research, I worked for seventeen days in Newberry library. Mr. John S. Aubrey showed his kindness when I sent him an email informing him I was to go to the Newberry. He was very glad someone was interested again in the Philippine Collection which has been forgotten by the scholars. The rest of the staff had to work very hard everyday to provide me the books, manuscripts and documents I needed. My thanks to John Brady, Susan Fagan and Caroline Siedmann. My next stage was Ann Arbor. Adelwisa Agas Weller offered me her house during my stay in Michigan. She was my moral supporter, becoming completely involved in this project. She introduced me to the Filipino Community in Ann Arbor which received me as a member of their community. I feel very proud to belong to them. Mike Price was immediately interested in my work and he drew my attention to important rare books which have become essential for this thesis. I want to make special mention of the person who organized a seminar for me who was unable to attend and he will not be able to read my thesis despite his enthusiasm. Les Adler, wherever you are, thank you! ii Moreover I want to thank all the staff from the Harlan Hatcher Library, Special Collections, who each day prepared the books, boxes and documents I needed in order not to make me waste my time. The same acknowledgement goes to the staff of the Bentley Library. The third stage of my pilgrimage was to Yale University. I want to specially acknowledge Molly Silang who offered me her house during my stay in New Haven. I want to thank Dr. Michael Montesano for introducing me to Rich Richard, curator of the Sterling Library, Southeast Asia section. Rich and Erlinda provided me with a beautiful place to work in peace at the library, with all the books I needed. The fourth stage of my pilgrimage was to Duke University in North Carolina. My acknowledgement goes to all the staff of the special collections since they looked after my lodgings and they prepared all the manuscripts I needed upon my arrival. My trip ended in Madison, Wisconsin. There I had the chance to meet Dr. Ruby Paredes, Dr. Michael Cullinane and Professor Alfred McCoy from whom I learnt about their works and research. They gave me a warm welcome and treated me as a member of the University of Wisconsin Southeast Asia Program. To all of them, my respect and esteem. As for my fieldwork in Spain, I want to thank the the staff of Arxiu Nacional de Catalunya in Barcelona, Museu-Biblioteca Victor Balaguer, and Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid. A special acknowledgment goes to Silvia Losa and Sergi Rosés from Universitat Pompeu Fabra, who have been supporting me since I was in Barcelona doing my Doctorandus. iii Each time I have come back, they have been able to borrow for me all the materials I needed. Dr. Yoshiko Nagano and Dr. Michael Salman provided me with wise advice for this thesis, and Dr. Nagano even sent me valuable information. My most profound thanks also goes to the Southeast Asian Studies Programme and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, National University of Singapore, for their confidence in me when I applied for a scholarship in 2002. Six persons deserve special recognition, esteem and respect for giving me their moral support. They have believed in me from the beginning and they have helped me even during difficult times: Dr. Vatthana Pholsena who has been always interested in my topic and whose friendship I cherish; Dr. Teofilo Daquila, probably one of the kindest persons I have ever met; Dr. Maurizio Peleggi of the History department for his friendship from the beginning; Miss Dayaneetha de Silva for being my friend and unconditional supporter; Miss Lucy Tan, without whose help I could not have finished this thesis; and Professor Josep M. Delgado who has been encouraging me from a distance. And last but not least, I dedicate this thesis to the person who believed in me a long time ago, in 2000, when I got in touch with him for the first time: Professor Reynaldo C. Ileto. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Acknowledgements i Table of Contents v Summary viii Introduction 1 Chapter 1: Genesis of the American Construction of Philippine 18 History After the War with Spain: The US “Acquisition” of the 23 Philippines Chapter 2: Genealogy of the Discourse – The Schurman 51 Commission Background of the Commission 51 The Schurman Commission as Catalyst of the Taft 59 Commission Revisiting the “Dark Age” of the Spanish Regime 75 Chapter 3: James Alfred LeRoy, Maker of Philippine History 90 LeRoy: A sketch of a short life 98 LeRoy and his Filipino friends: Enter the “collaborators” 105 and ‘caciques” LeRoy’s last years: A definite policy of historical 118 reconstruction Le Roy as Taft’s brain 120 LeRoy and his subtle indictment against El Renacimiento 127 Chapter 4: Configuring The “Dark Age” of Spanish Rule – The 139 Americans in the Philippines The Americans in the Philippines: A gift for scholars 144 The underside of this Dark Age: The 1872 prelude 158 v The Cavite events: The birth of an evolutionary history 162 The Versality of Retana: The reforms not a dead letter 167 Chapter 5: LeRoy, Retana, and the Spectre of Spanish Reformism 171 Deliberate misinterpretation of Retana’s works 180 Chapter 6: LeRoy, the Filipino Reformists, and the Katipunan 198 La Solidaridad and other Filipino publications 202 End of Spanish colonial restructuring, the triumph of 213 ‘obscurantism” What LeRoy never explained about 1897-1898 223 Epilogue: LeRoy’s account of the U.S. occupation of 228 the Philippines Chapter 7: LeRoy and a Curse Called “Caciquism” 235 Our Spanish inheritance in the Philippines 241 Our Spanish inheritance versus The United States in the 251 Philippines The myths of the Spanish Inheritance and the Spanish 272 cacique Caciquismo as a Spanish phenomenon: what American 277 historiography has silenced The Impact of our Spanish Inheritance in the Philippines 284 Chapter 8: Encapsulating Medieval Philippines in Latin America 298 - The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898 The Philippines Islands,1493-1898: its gestation and 300 editors Emma Helen Blair (1851-1911) 304 James Alexander Robertson (1873-1939) 306 The First Criticism of The Philippine Islands 1493-1898 315 LeRoy as collaborator in the penumbra 324 A surreptitious and subtle discourse 338 vi Edward Gaylord Bourne 339 Affairs in the Philippine Islands 346 The case of the Audiencia 350 LeRoy on the Philippines, 1860-1898 364 Epilogue 374 Chapter 9: The Close of an Era 378 Worcester’s crusade to paralyze the process of 379 independence The Odyssey of the Philippine Commission and The 396 Philippine Problem Worcester: The Philippines Past and Present 405 Worcester’s press campaign 417 Worcester and the special report of Wood-Forbes 423 Chapter 10: Conclusion - Triumph and Perpetuation of the 430 Discourse The United States and the Philippines 432 The Isles of Fear 437 The Philippines: A Study in National Development 444 the culmination of the discourse Epilogue 459 Glossary 466 Bibliography 469 vii SUMMARY The 1880’s witnessed the birth of a new Spanish colonial model which the government tried to apply to their remaining colonies. If we could summarize in a single word the last years of Spanish rule in the Philippines, this would be “reformism.” Conventional accounts, however, insist on characterizing this period as a form of “medievalism.” The reformist convulsion was reflected in a frantic publication of books and newspapers in the late-nineteenth century.

    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

Through an analysis of the historical origins and changing meanings of “ilustrado” in Philippine literary and nationalist discourse, this article looks at the politics of reading and writing that have shaped international and domestic reception of the novel. While the novel seeks to resignify the hitherto class- bound concept of “ilustrado” to include Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), historical and contemporary usages of the term present conceptual and practical difficulties and challenges that require a new intellectual paradigm for understanding Philippine society. Keywords: rizal • novel • ofw • ilustrado • nationalism PHILIPPINE STUDIES 59, NO. 1 (2011) 3–54 © Ateneo de Manila University iguel Syjuco’s Ilustrado (2010) is arguably the first contemporary novel by a Filipino to have a global presence and impact (fig. 1). Published in America by Farrar, Straus and Giroux and in Great Britain by Picador, the novel has garnered rave reviews across Mthe Atlantic and received press coverage in the Commonwealth nations of Australia and Canada (where Syjuco is currently based).

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

  • World War Ii in the Philippines
    WORLD WAR II IN THE PHILIPPINES The Legacy of Two Nations©2016 Copyright 2016 by C. Gaerlan, Bataan Legacy Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. World War II in the Philippines The Legacy of Two Nations©2016 By Bataan Legacy Historical Society Several hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Philippines, a colony of the United States from 1898 to 1946, was attacked by the Empire of Japan. During the next four years, thou- sands of Filipino and American soldiers died. The entire Philippine nation was ravaged and its capital Ma- nila, once called the Pearl of the Orient, became the second most devastated city during World War II after Warsaw, Poland. Approximately one million civilians perished. Despite so much sacrifice and devastation, on February 20, 1946, just five months after the war ended, the First Supplemental Surplus Appropriation Rescission Act was passed by U.S. Congress which deemed the service of the Filipino soldiers as inactive, making them ineligible for benefits under the G.I. Bill of Rights. To this day, these rights have not been fully -restored and a majority have died without seeing justice. But on July 14, 2016, this mostly forgotten part of U.S. history was brought back to life when the California State Board of Education approved the inclusion of World War II in the Philippines in the revised history curriculum framework for the state. This seminal part of WWII history is now included in the Grade 11 U.S. history (Chapter 16) curriculum framework. The approval is the culmination of many years of hard work from the Filipino community with the support of different organizations across the country.

A Comparison with the Dutch Nobility Jaap Dronkers ∗ Abstract: Has the Austrian-German nobility had the same high degree of no- ble homogamy during the 20th century as the Dutch nobility? Noble homog- amy among the Dutch nobility was one of the two main reasons for their ‘con- stant noble advantage’ in obtaining elite positions during the 20th century. The Dutch on the one hand and the Austrian-German nobility on the other can be seen as two extreme cases within the European nobility. The Dutch nobility seems to have had a lower degree of noble homogamy during the 20th century than the Austrian-German nobility.

    Chua / Hamon at Tugon / Bersyong 13 Abril 2013 1 HAMON AT TUGON Conquista at Reaksyon ng Bayan Tungo sa Pambansang Himagsikan * (1571-1913) Michael Charleston “Xiao” B. Chua Pamantasang De La Salle Maynila Maikling Paglalarawan ng Paksa ng Modyul-Gabay: Nakaugalian nang ilahad ang kasaysayan ng kolonyalismo sa pananaw ng mga opisyal na dokumento ng mga dayuhan at mga kolonyalistang sanaysay na nagpatibay ng kolonyal na mentalidad ng Pilipino na ang Kanluran ay laging daluyan ng ginhawa. Liban pa sa nawalan na ng saysay ang nakaraang ito sa maraming Pilipino dahil hindi nito talaga nasalamin ang kanilang kamalayan. Ang Nasyunalistang Kasaysayan ni Agoncillo, na lalong pinaunlad at pinagpapatuloy ng Pantayong Pananaw, ang nagbukas ng daan na lalong maintindihan ang kasaysayan sa pananaw ng mga Pilipino sa nakalipas na mga taon. Ayon kay Zeus A. Salazar at sa iba pang tagapagtaguyod ng Pantayog Pananaw, ang Kasaysayan ay “salaysay na may saysay para sa sinasalaysayang grupo ng tao.” Sa paglalahad ng kwento mula sa pananaw ng mga lider tungo sa pananaw ng mga namumuhay ng kalinangan—ang mga mamamayan, nais ng module na ito na ipakita ang pag-unlad ng kapuluan mula sa iba’t ibang bayan tungo sa pagiging isang bansa. Ang karanasan ng Conquista at pakikibaka ang nagbuo sa bayan tungo sa kamalayang pambansa, na ang magiging katuparan ay ang Himagsikang Pilipino ng 1896. Sa kasamaang palad, dahil sa Dambuhalang Pagkakahating Pangkalinangan, nagkaroon din ng tunggalian sa loob ng bansa, kaya naman hindi pa rin natatapos ang gawain ng pagbubuo nito tungo sa tunay na kaginhawaan ng mga Pilipino. Mga Layunin: 1.
