Modern times are threatening to wipe out these things that have made us uniquely Filipino.
These Filipina heroes fought, bled, and suffered for the nation and the people; as such, they rightfully deserve a place in the country’s pantheon of heroes.

I bought this 1920s image because she looked just like a sweet and friendly Filipina bar girl I once knew in Okinawa, Japan. As a photo historian, archivist, and curator of my own Flickr exhibitions, such factors are of paramount importance when deciding what images to acquire.... ;-) On a more serious and interesting note, please see Elmer's educational comments at # 6 below, as well as his notes in the photo itself ! Thanks, Elmer.

This photo was taken from an album that belonged to an American army officer who was posted in the Philippines in the early 1900s. The Philippines was an American colony from 1898 until 1946.
