This painting has caused me mental and emotional anguish when my freedom of expression has been supressed. Creating an outcry and controversy during the previewing at the gallery, this painting may not have the chance to be seen or exhibited at public places anymore in my politically and economically sick country.

quot;The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898 explorations by early navigators, descriptions of the islands and their peoples, their history and records of the catholic missions, as related in contemporaneous books and manuscripts, showing the political, economic, commercial and religious conditions of those islands from their earliest relations with European nations to the beginning of the nineteenth century. quot; Notes: quot;The Philippine Islands quot; is a very comprehensive 55-volume history of the Philippines, written from 1903-1909. Edited and annotated by Emma Helen Blair and James Alexander Robertson with historical introduction and additional notes by Edward Gaylord Bourne. The focus of quot;The Philippine Islands quot; was the Spanish regime but earlier documents, as early as the 13th Century, describing the encounters of Chinese traders with Pre-Hispanic inhabitants of the islands, were also included. You might be wondering why the series started in 1493, rather than 1521 when Magellan reached what was to become the Philippines. This would be evident from the first volume -- what makes history as engrossing and quite interesting -- not just remembering a bunch of old dates and dead people. Initially, the series was planned to cover between 1493-1803 because of the dearth of quot;available quot; more recent materials, at the time quot;The Philippine Islands quot; series was initiated in 1903. However, it was well received and the clamor from readers prompted the change when Volume VI was released -- so that the series eventually covered up to the end of the Spanish colonization of the Philippines in 1898. Unlike the usual history books we are used to, quot;The Philippine Islands quot; provided the text of original documents -- some volumes included the text in the original language as well as translation in English -- scoured from all over the world. Thus, while the selection of the documents still introduced a certain perspective and bias, the access to original documents allow you as a reader to make your own interpretation of the history. From what I have read so far, quot;The Philippine Islands quot; was a well-written and scholarly history series, not only with the annotations in each volume but also has a volume (Vol LIII) devoted exclusively for bibliographies for documents used in the series as well as those included in other compilations, at the time, and the last two volumes (LIV and LV) for the indices. From the quot;comments quot;, the editors, Blair and Robertson, were as fair as could be possible. They served not only as editors but sometimes either of them were the original translators of many of the original documents, although they relied on translations by numerous people from various institutions. As editors, they meticulously counter-checked discrepancies from available documents and noted these in the footnotes when warranted. However, it should be noted that quot;The Philippine Islands quot; was still in a sense quot;one-sided quot;, a predominantly Western perspective, and mostly from the Spanish point of view partly because of the predominant documents selected or sometimes because those were the only documents available at the time. Also, whether intentional or not, quot;The Philippine Islands quot; was written mainly for Western readers, based on the sensibilities and perspectives of the presentation. The aforementioned comments do not reflect on the quot;objectivity quot; of the editors, Blair and Robertson, who as stated above, were as scholarly as is possible -- within the limits of the available materials at their disposal, at the time, as opposed to propaganda or outright misrepresentation of history depending on the point of view of the historian. To illustrate this point further, as editors rather than acting as historians, Blair and Robertson correctly adopted the approach to use the terms (thus also the perspectives) of the authors of the original documents used. The result therefore would be the presentation sometimes of conflicting points of view from different authors, e.g., that of a priest vs that of a government official about conditions in the Philippines or plight of Filipinos. Thus, the reader, much like the recipient of the quot;original document (in this case the King of Spain or some high government official), has to make judgement on who among the various authors is telling the truth. Rarely did the editors interject their own views, unless the document itself was an quot;interpretation quot; of another document, and there are evidence available to the contrary. Nonetheless, because the bulk of the documents available were those of Spanish, so that the prevailing view that came out were those of Spanish. Thus, the Moros (Muslims from Mindanao) were portrayed mainly as marauding pirates. The Portuguese, Dutch and English were all portrayed as invaders -- based on the assumption that Spain had the legitimate right to own the Philippines. The Indios (i.e., the natives, or Filipinos) who rebelled as quot;insurrectos quot; or simply as quot;indolents quot;. [The latter prompted Rizal's famous essay on quot;The Indolence of Filipinos quot;.] Unlike the portrayal of Rizal of the abuses of the Spanish friars in quot;Noli Me Tangere quot;, quot;The Philippine Islands quot; presented a number of Spanish priests and civil officials who championed the cause of the natives and reported the abuses of Spanish soldiers and officers to the King of Spain. Available documents relevant to Philippine history, especially during the Spanish and American regime, were written mostly by Spaniards and Americans. For this reason, what the outside world know of Philippine history were from the perspectives of Spaniards and Americans. For example, the incorporation of Manila is recorded in sites like quot;Wikipedia quot; June 10, 1574; the same is true with all other geopolitical regions (provinces, cities, towns, etc.) in the Philippines. In fact, there were already thriving communities, with defined chiefs (Rajahs) and quot;system of government quot; in major islands of what was to become the Philippines -- even before the Spaniards ever reached the Philippines. This was even more true in Mindanao that was why it took much longer for the Spaniards to subjugate the region. Early fights for freedom by Filipinos were seen mainly from available Spanish documents (perhaps because there were no available written documents from the natives), so that they were perceived mainly as insurections and the perpetuators as insurrectos (i.e., against an established legal order) -- terms that were similarly adopted when the Americans took over Spain as occupiers of the Philippines. The period between 1801-1898 were covered only in two volumes (LI and LII), especially during the second half of the 19th century, the most critical era when the Filipino consciousness and the desire to be free had become more evident, at least among the Filipino intelligentsia. In these 52 volumes (of more than 300 pages each) the constitution of the quot;La Liga Filipina quot;, organized by Jose Rizal on Julty 3, 1892, was the only Filipino document included. quot;La Liga Filipina quot; was described in the Preface of Vol. LII as follows: quot;This constitution shows the Liga not to have been formed for the purpose of independence, but for mutual aid and protection of its members, and the fostering of a more united spirit among Filipinos. Nowhere does it contain a word against the sovereignty of Spain or against religion. ... The one exception that might be taken to the constitution is that implicit and unquestioning obedience to all superior commands is required from members. quot; [I will try to write a comment on this interpretation when I get a chance.] Again, quot;The Philippine Islands quot; relied mainly on the perspectives and restrospectives by Westerners, e.g., James A. Leroy, and cited subsequent Americans involved in the Filipino-American War and early American occupation of the Philippines to relate the efforts of Filipinos -- dubbed both by Spaniards and Americans, Insurrectos and the movements as quot;Insurrections quot; -- in their effort to gain independence, initially against the Spain, and subsequently (not part of the series) against the colonization by the United States. [Having stated this, it should be noted also that the global perspectives, provided by sources like Leroy, provide a different perspective than that coming from an insular perspective.] The documents selected and those that were excluded in quot;The Philippine Islands quot; have as much to do in the shaping how Philippine history is perceived currently in the world. On the whole therefore, quot;The Philippine Islands quot; is a must reading for all Filipinos who are interested to know more about Philippine history and the fate of Filipinos, both in the past, present and in the years to come. I believe it was Renato Constatino, a well-respected Filipino nationalist, who tried to quot;reconstruct quot; the events that led to the execution of Andres Bonifacio. Without much available documentation, he had to resort to logic and his understanding of the Filipino psyche to arrive at the most probable scenario. But, such deductions must not be taken as a substitute for what should constitute as historical fact, no matter how logical the argument might be. It is difficult enough that even an authentic historical document is saddled with the point of view of the chronicler of the event, creating an inherent bias. Thus, we should not accept as historical fact, that which is based on speculation, no matter how reputable the source might be. History is not always an objective field but more a presentation of perspectives based from what is known, the latter usually incomplete and at times dubious. quot;The Philippine Islands quot;, a 55-volume series shown here, was an authenticated quot;Set No. 124 quot; of the 1,000 printed of the first edition; owned by the Boston Public Library (BPL), the oldest public library in the United States and one of the largest libraries in the world. The copies were kept in the quot;Special Collections quot; section and not found in general circulation. Thus, the books as shown were arranged solely for purposes of photographing quot;The Philippine Islands quot; series. The collection of BPL, about the Philippines is actually quite extensive, especially during the American colonization. The collection includes original documents of the Anti-Imperialist League, a significant movement with chapters in the major cities of the United States just before the end of the 19th Century until the early 20th Century, that were opposed to the concept of colonization in general and more specifically the American colonization of the Philippines. As an official repository of federal documents, BPL also has under microfilm or in the internet, all official documents from Congressional hearings and the various branches of the US federal government. With the help of other Filipinos, our goal is to place many of our historical documents online, as part of the a href= http://likas-philippines.org/index.php Likas-Philippines /a project, so that they are freely available to every Filipino and those who want to learn more about the Philippines and Filipinos. As gargantuan this project is, this is only a first stage, our ultimate goal must be to have our ongoing history be written by Filipinos, rather than by foreigners -- so that we have a say in our fate. The second stage includes writing and archiving our quot;history of today quot;, as well as the recent past. Unless we do the second stage, Philippine history will continue to be written and shaped by other peoples of the world.
