Articles - Filipino American Filipino Americans tend to be devout in their faith traditions: attending church services every Sunday, reading the Bible and reciting the rosary, sending their children to costly parochial schools, and even donating to Catholic charities. Filipino Americans architects and engineers are paid less than their Latino and African American counterparts. Filipino Americans however have a tendency to settle in a more dispersed fashion, settling down in communities across the country without a need for establishing ties with other Filipino Americans in a locality. www.kamero.net /articles/Filipino_Americans

The Wily Filipino: Obsessive Thoughts. The Filipino American War and its aftermath is therefore a trans-Pacific obsession — if an obsession it truly is — and Filipinos in San Diego, Canberra, Cebu, Manila, Kyoto, and yes, even San Francisco (and New York!) are equally among the obsessed. But there's another reason for this obsessiveness, as you've pointed out: Filipino Americans locating themselves in the American narrative, and another factor that I'll discuss towards the end. You and Joel Tesoro should have pointed out when and where the Filipino American War and its aftermath emerged as a legitimate object of academic study before throwing around loaded terms like “obsession” which only serves to smear the historical consciousness of Filipino Americans. www.thewilyfilipino.com /blog/archives/000357.html

21C Magazine And when Filipinos still refused to give up, American soldiers were ordered to "kill every thing over ten." While the official end of the war was 1902, active resistance to U.S. invasion continued until 1913, hence the temptation to find analogies with the war in Vietnam (or any of America's "interventions" during the Cold War). Photographs of some of those killed during war were brought to life by Rocio Martinez, an instructor at Pittsburgh Filmmakers, who digitally colored them with frame grabs from Sari's film footage, revealing the rich Filipino culture that had to be ignored in order to justify the war. Most Filipino families are overly superstitious, and believe that the pictures of the dead "breathe" along the years, when it could simply be a photochemical process that gives the black and white photos a fading effect. www.21cmagazine.com /filipino_memories.html

The Initiative - New Bill Gives Benefits to Filipino American War Veterans The Rescission Act withdrew the U.S. veterans' status of Filipino World War II soldiers, thereby denying them the benefits and compensation received by their American counterparts. These bills would provide Filipino veterans with the benefits, services and privileges that were initially promised to them for their service in World War II under U.S. command but were taken away by the Rescission Act of 1946. The Health Care for Filipino World War II Veterans Act, as introduced by Representative Bob Filner in the House (H.R.4904) and Senator Daniel Inouye in the Senate (S.2630), would improve benefits for Filipino veterans and their surviving spouse. www.aapi.gov /news/veterans.htm

Memories of a Forgotten War In Memories of a Forgotten War, a subjective Filipino-American narrator builds an analogy between the failure of the sanctity of the marriage contract in her biracial family and the failure of the sanctity of the social contract between the U.S. and the Philippines that traces back to the imperial violence of the war of 1899. Mis-remembered as the 'annexation' of the Philippines, the Philippine-American War of 1899 was one of the most violent imperial wars of the 20th century and set the precedent for US foreign policy in Southeast Asia, yet few remember the details of the war or why it was fought. Little remembered in the North American national mythos, the war between Philippine nationalists and U.S. troops was one of the bloodiest military exchanges in the history of modern warfare. www.camillagriggers.net /html/memories.html

I am Filipino American Filipinos fought the Spaniards and when victory was at hand, the Americans took it from them - so how can they rebel when they have not been ruled by them before.

AsianWeek.com: Bay News: Filipino American Veterans Still Fighting The loudest of the venerable war veterans were the Filipino American soldiers of World War II.

Filipino American Literature (Prior to the American occupation, the Philippines spent three centuries under Spanish rule.) American annexation of the Philippines occurred after two separate wars: The Spanish-American War (1898) followed by The Filipino-American War (1899-1902). What makes Filipino American literary efforts different, even from South Asian American writers, is the combination of the length of the total colonial experience, the involvement of the United States, and the varying degrees of willingness to assimilate into the American cultural landscape. It is important to note that American-born-Filipinos are referred to as "Flips." At present, the Filipino American population is the fastest growing Asian American group in the United States, and statistics illustrate that this community will surpass the numbers of Japanese and Chinese Americans combined in the next decade. www.english.emory.edu /Bahri/Filipino.html

Spanish-Cuban-American War - The Phillipines The Filipino rebels, which had also engaged Spain in a war of independence, were led to believe that U.S. forces were there to help them. Despite widespread criticism against this war (which was labeled an "insurrection" by pro-expansionist media), the U.S. was determined to keep the islands, which were ripe with natural resources, and offered a foot in the door to markets in China and Japan. Feeling betrayed, the Filipinos revolted against their new landlords under the leadership of patriot Emilio Aguinaldo (pictured) in February of 1899. www.historyofcuba.com /history/scaw/scaw4.htm

Philippine History: Filipino-American War The American people, at that time, were being fed with lies by their own government as far as its war of aggression in the Philippines was concerned. Then, the American policymakers said the Filipinos were asking the United States for protection and guidance, probably using to the hilt that fly-in-the-ointment passage which turned General Aguinaldo's declaration of independence into a proclamation of a protectorate. The Philippine-American War was, therefore, a war of aggression, on the one hand, and the continuation of a war of national liberation, on the other. www.tribo.org /history/american.html

War Brides Article While many Filipino men emigrated to the United States in the 1920s and 1930s for work and educational opportunities, Filipino women were not encouraged to make the journey, said Alex S. Fabros Jr., executive director of the Filipino American Experience Research Project at San Francisco State University. She was scared because she'd heard that American soldiers who married Filipino women deserted them when they were transferred back to the United States. But in 1947, a year after they married, she was on a ship with 177 other Filipino war brides headed for San Francisco. www.ignacio.org /warbride.html

PINOY - Filipino-American Newsmonthly A poll taken before the presidential debates showed that majority of Filipino Americans leaned toward the re-election of President Bush. And of course the loss of young American soldiers in a war that could have very well been avoided.

PINOY - Filipino-American Newsmonthly The Filipino American War erupted on February 4, 1899. Martin sang a new and a very powerful peace song entitled "One More War." He made it clear to the audience that it's his tribute to the soldiers who answered the call of duty as well as to all who suffer because of the violence brought in by the war. What I heard about the Americans' role in making the Philippines as the "First Vietnam" at the turn of the century shook the foundation of values and attitudes I acquired in my youth. www.pinoymonthly.net /04-2003/oped01USinvation.htm

Filipino-American War The Philippine- American War (1899-1902) and the Moro Resistance War (1902-1913) cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos and Americans alike. The American government downgraded the war to just mere "Filipino Insurrection" to avoid combat reparation ( "stingy government!") and the embarassment of being taunted by the world as a superpower fighting against bolo-wielding revolutionaries. The Philippine-American War was considered to be like the Vietnam war but was never acknowledged by the US government. www.marinduque.net /battle.htm
