Book Synopsis The Peoples of the Philippine Islands, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by : Henry Du R. Phelan

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Peoples of the Philippine Islands, Vol. 2 I shall now refer to a map of the Archipelago and call attention to the fact that while these islands are for the sake of convenience divided into three groups: Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao, they really consist of a single great group of from 1200 to 1400 islands and islets, inhabited by a population of eight to ten million individuals. Without going deeply into the ethnology of the Philippines, I must say a few words about the racial differences of the interesting people with whom we are now occupied, in order that I may more readily be followed in my wanderings over the islands. No two authors of those whom I have consulted, agree as to the classification of the many different Filipino tribes. I have, therefore, adopted the one accepted by the U. S. Government, which recognizes three groups: the Negritos or blacks, the Indonesians and the Malays. Unlike the native races of America, the Filipino tribes have left us no monuments as evidence of an early civilization. Nor do we find in their country mounds such as have been discovered in America, the exploration of which has thrown so much light on the customs of the early inhabitants of this land. And yet, it is known that certain of the tribes of the Philippines possessed a written language previous to the advent of the Spaniards. It is also reported that their legends were preserved in a written form up to that eventful period. From 1521 to the present time, the Philippine people have been closely studied and described by the Spanish Friars who accompanied the discoverers of the Archipelago, and who remained ever since in close contact with the population thereof. Much of our knowledge of the Philippines has thus been acquired from the writings of these early pioneers of civilization. On the other hand, the Spanish who have to such a marked degree the faculty of imposing their religion, language and habits upon a conquered people, to the point even of obliterating race characteristics in them, have by this very faculty, destroyed almost all vestiges of past native history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World and Its People, Vol. 11: The Story of the Philippines This little volume is meant for use in the schools of the United States, and aims to teach American children something about this country which has come under our influence. We can have no real sym pathy with the Filipino people until we understand them, until we know something of their lives and de sires. The American school-teachers in the islands are trying to help the people to understand us, that they may realize that we are trying to help their coun try. We in this land, therefore, should try to under stand the Filipinos, that we may be ready to help them intelligently in the future. The story of the Philippines was written in the islands, where the author spent some months in gathering material and consulting authorities, that the book might be ac curate and just.

This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Filipino People and Their Sentiments Near the end of the 19th century, when she once more became a rebellious country against the tyrannical rule of Spain, she had lost many lives. But as a strange turn of fate, it was on this hazardous effort that she witnessed her triumphs by successfully raising her flag, which had almost marked her virtue in shaping her own destiny to the world. The inevitable mingling of unexpected occurrences, as if afforded by fate, was almost to blame, for it was during her progress against her oppressor when came suddenly the outbreak of war between America and Spain. However, America's chivalrous mission in aiding the Filipino people resulted in a complete defeat of the Spaniards, by destroying all the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, and the capturing of the Spanish Arsenal in Cavite. These important works achieved by the good Americans, will forever be impressed on the minds of the Filipinos, for these were the last stronghold of the Spaniards that, on the other hand could have given them the decision of their fate, as to independence, or an inquisition throughout if finally suppressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philippine Islands It would be well, indeed, if all here at home could be led to join in the opinion of Americans in the Philip pines, of whatever party, that democratic principles of government must be considerably modified when the people to be governed have the racial qualities, tradi tions, and history of the Filipinos. Unless there be a unity of sentiment among the American people, an eager ness of spirit to solve the problem in the best possible way with the sole view of the welfare of the Filipino, the experiment now inaugurated will fail. The difficulties of the problem we are only now learning to appreciate; until the conditions are better known, we should suspend judgment and certainly be less prone to destructive criticism of the pioneer service now being performed.

Book Synopsis The Story of the Philippines by : Adeline Knapp
Download or read book The Story of the Philippines written by Adeline Knapp and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Philippines: For Use in the Schools of the Philippine Islands Supplementary readers in all the varied lines of instruction are acknowledged to be an important part of the school equipment. Through them the pupil's reading is made to prepare him for his studies and to contributs directly to their enhanced value and interest. The text-book in geography can give little more than the essential outline; it cannot go into the details of the everyday life of the inhabitants of Cuba or of New Zealand - such details as make people and places real. The school history can give scant space to the physical aspect of a country, to the surroundings that influence a nation's development, yet without such knowledge the study lacks its true basis. In one way or another one constantly finds need of knowing the world and its people. Under this title of "The World and its People" the publishers are offering a series of readers intended particularly to supplement the geography, and, in general, to contribute to the broadest education of young people. Our near neighbors, our antipodes, and the peoples that live between these extremes are studied in turn, so that the series as a whole gives a comprehensive view of the world in its geographical aspect.

This book was released on 2019-01-12 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Outlook for the Philippines The present inhabitants of the southernmost islands of the group seem to have come last. About six hundred years ago a wave of Mohammedanism swept over that part of the world, Mohammedan missionaries going forth with as much zeal, daring and devotion as were ever shown by any of the Christian persuasion, and with other regions they invaded the Philippines. The new-comers of the Sulu chain and the Island of Mindanao yielded to their eloquence or swords or whatever it was that won them converts, but they seem to have made but halting progress to the north. The people they converted in the south came afterward to be known as Moros (or Moors), but this referred to their religion and not, as we now generally assume, to their race. Racially, they were exactly like the Tagalogs, Ilocanos, Ifugaos, Igoro tes and the rest of the Malay immigrants.

Book Synopsis The Duty of the American People by : UNKNOWN. AUTHOR
Download or read book The Duty of the American People written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duty of the American People: As to the Philippines It has occurred to the writer to connect together a'few facts that everybody knows by means of a few thoughts that every one entertains. He has not attempted a discussion of political economy or of international law. The ideas set down in the following pages are only those that seem to grow naturally out of the new condi tions created by the record breaking achievement of Admiral Dewey. The first Sunday of May, 1898, opened a new vista' by which to forecast the events of the Twentieth Century. Since the adop tion of its Constitution the government of our United States had agricultural land to give or to sell to all comers, until within the last few years. Since the government land offices were closed many new 'doctrines have been heard; Socialism, Anarchism, etc. It may be that in the wisdom of the Power that overrules the actions of men, Admiral Dewey has been the appointed means by which the solutions of these questions shall be deferred for another hundred years or until they can be answered by a generation that is wiser than we. If in such connection a few simple thoughts, inartistically put together, can at all aid to bring about a concrete conception of national duty, the writer will have done all that he can at utmost hope for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philippine Islands: Illustrated Because of the importance of the matter and the fact that invisible influences, political and private, are working in both the lower and upper houses of the United States Con gress in both parties to force these valuable Islands out of the hands of their real owners - the American people - I am reprinting in this smaller form the Philippine section of my larger work, United States Colonies and Dependencies. In that are gathered the results of my observations and investiga tions in Porto Rico, Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, Guam, the Philippines, the Panama Canal Zone, and interesting matter relative to our dependencies, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Panama. The gathering of this material involved a special trip of miles to Alaska, visits to Porto Rico, the West Indies and the Panama Canal, and a journey around the world. Altogether, I traveled about miles in securing the photographs and information used in my complete work, United States Colonies and Dependencies. The matter herein contained first appeared in The Saturday Blade, one of our four publications. If widening of human knowledge and a better capacity for the solving of our national problems are in any degree the result of this or my larger book, I shall count myself well paid. It certainly has given me a broader and more certain understanding of the world, and a larger love for my own country.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of the Philippines His book as its title indicates, is intended I to portray the Philippines as they are today rather than as they have appeared in the trying crises through which they have passed. The history Of the Philippines has not heretofore been neglected. Their interesting past has been chronicled by such eminent writers as T6mas Comyn, John Foreman, F. R. G. S., Juan de la Concepcion, Martinez Zuniga, and many others; while their political (eco nomic) perplexities have been detailed at great length by almost half a score Of able writers. But of the Philippines to-day there are few sources to which the inquirer may turn for detailed information; he can find no book treating Of modern industrial conditions or interpreting the character of the people through the ready manner in which they are grasping a scheme of life which was unknown to them before the dawn of the twentieth century.
