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 excerpt: Excerpt from Our Island Empire: A Hand-Book of Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands This is only one of the purposes - and not the main one - that the author has had in view. There is a natural feeling of interest concerning these islands, based partly on the usual desire to know, partly on more personal motives, which it is important to gratify. There are some who have it in view to visit one or more of these islands, for business or observa tion, or for permanent residence; others who desire to enter into business relations with their merchants or producers; and many others who are moved by the natural thirst for information, which recent events have directed strongly towards these oceanic lands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventurers All: A Tale of the Philippine Islands in War Time Malay, lying forward in the shade, and to whom he spoke as he passed, was known to bear a far worse characterin singaporethanthemanofsiam. Against Kasim, the slim, well-built Malay, with the gentle manners and friendly smile, there were well authenticated stories of piracies and murderous out rages; but, thanks to his natural cunning and some powerful protectors, he had managed to evade punish ment in the native states, while there was not yet sufficient evidence against him for his capture in the English settlements. Of the other men, Long shore Johnnie and Chin looked truculent scoundrels, although we knew nothing definite against them. Johann Mahmud was a sleek, oily, over-polite J ava nese; and the remainder were timid Kanakas, who were hopeful raw material as seamen, but who would be absolutely unreliable in time of danger.

Download or read book The Peoples of the Philippine Islands Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Henry Du R. Phelan and published by Forgotten Books. 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.
