Philippine-American War, 1899-1902 by Arnaldo Dumindin

An excerpt from the work of Arnaldo Dumindin.




Two mortally terrified Filipino women are being brought in for interrogation. Photo was taken in 1899, location unspecified. The Manila correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger reported, “Our men have been relentless, have killed to exterminate men, women, children, prisoners and captives, active insurgents and suspected people from lads up to 10, the idea prevailing that the Filipino was not much better than a dog . . .” (In Cabugao, Ilocos Sur, on June 21, 1900, five US soldiers ---John Wagner, Edward Walpole, Harry Dennis and John Allance and a Private Meeks---who were sickened by the atrocities perpetrated by their fellow Americans, deserted to the Filipino side; on Nov. 25, 1900, in the same town, another American, Private William Hyer, joined the Filipinos).

Zionism On The Web: A History of Zionism and the Creation of Israel


LESSONS TO BE LEARNED

This is an information material for study on the development of a nation. This is not a foreign, political, nor religious policy propaganda material. In fact, information on a certain nation is always and must always be studied, not only by the friends and allies of that nation, but also by the enemies of that nation which will be only beneficial to the recipients.

The value of Zionism as a movement to us filipinos, is in our struggle to be free of the degenerative disease of alienated identity and defense syndrome. At present, we filipinos are divided into classes, sectors, profession and individuals with conflicting interests. Each of our classes, sectors, profession and individuals are dependent on the americans for protection, and economic sustenance, as well as
intellectual, cultural and social prestige. We have added another sector among us which we designated as the militant left, who are clamoring for the dismantling of american militarization of the different areas of our country. This means that only the militarization of the different areas of our country are being objected. The more subtle but deeper invasion which is the control of our economy, education, culture, and the whole of our developmental code which is the control of our destiny is being overlooked.

This information is about how a people was able to keep intact a national identity inspite of their having been driven out of their land and scattered around the world for 2000 years, and came back to recover the original land of the birth of their nation. We filipinos, who have been driven out of our inherited identity, our own origins of our nation, our inherited constitution, our inherited defense institution, our inherited national culture, and the whole of our national developmental code of excellence, and our loyalty to our nation was scattered for decades, and need to recover them, can learn a lesson.
