Ms. Araneta,
I read this historical account ...Hola! Ms. Araneta,<br />I read this historical account before from boondocksnet.com of Jim Zwick. Unfortunately the site was closed before Mr. Zwick died. There are more than 1 thousand ethnic Filipinos that was displayed in that expo to justify their colonization of the newly independent Republic of the Philippines. That is they say, to educate their uncivilized little dog eating brown brothers. To the shock of the Illustrados and mainstream Filipinos reading Spanish newspapers in Escolta back home. Pres. Manuel L. Quezon still indignant of that incident, reminded the Americans during a speech on his visit to US that the Filipinos are already a civilized nation long before there was a country called USA.greg adayahttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=785353235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840989584823670354.post-67980449612431224552008-08-21T04:34:00.000-07:002008-08-21T04:34:00.000-07:00thanks for sharing this excerpt as it helps more p...thanks for sharing this excerpt as it helps more people know about the igorots as a people:-)Buganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259842414973098564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840989584823670354.post-54879042006321763232007-11-25T18:23:00.000-08:002007-11-25T18:23:00.000-08:00Hi Ms.Araneta,Hopped thru Eric Isaac's(Wish You We...Hi Ms.Araneta,<BR/><BR/>Hopped thru Eric Isaac's(Wish You Were Here Blogspot). Enjoyed reading your series about the St. Louis Expo and the Igorots(and more tribes?) that i did a little googling(Google) and found this from the St. Louis Public Library. One thing that caught my attention was that the Igorots showed an interest in the presidential election in 1904 and were given polling places. Hhhmmm not savages after all that time! Thanks for rousing my curiousity.<BR/><BR/>http://exhibits.slpl.org/lpe/data/LPE240023338.asp?thread=240029456joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010380137088311503noreply@blogger.com
