📸 January 30, 1962 Carlos P. Romulo meets President John F. Kennedy at the White House. Sa larawang ito, makikita si Philippine Ambassador Carlos P. Romulo kasama si U.S. President John F. Kennedy sa Oval Office. Ang pagbisitang ito ay mahalaga dahil papalapit na noon sa pagtatapos ang mahabang diplomatic service ni Romulo sa Washington bago siya bumalik sa Pilipinas upang pamunuan ang University of the Philippines. Kilala si Romulo bilang isa sa pinakabantog na Filipino diplomats isang war correspondent, diplomat, dating Pangulo ng United Nations General Assembly, at mahalagang personalidad sa Philippine-American relations. Ang larawan ay isang tahimik ngunit makasaysayang sandali sa gitna ng Cold War era, nang nananatiling malapit na magkaalyado ang Pilipinas at Estados Unidos. 🇵🇭🇺🇸

📸 Andy Warhol with Imelda Marcos, 1976

A fascinating glimpse into the worlds of art, fashion, and politics: Andy Warhol, the legendary American pop artist, was photographed wearing his trademark casual jeans while socializing with Imelda Marcos during an event in 1976. The image captures an unusual meeting of two highly recognizable figures of the era—Warhol, known for transforming celebrity culture into art, and Imelda, who was then one of the Philippines’ most prominent public figures.

It is one of those photographs that quietly reflects the international social circles surrounding politics, art, fashion, and celebrity during the 1970s.

Si Crispulo Trinidad “Pulong” Luna (1903–1976) ay isang natatanging Filipino figure mula 1930s-40s na kilala sa kanyang feminine presentation at mga eleganteng studio portraits habang suot ang baro’t saya, dresses, makeup, at iba’t ibang costumes—panahong hindi pa karaniwan ang modern terms tulad ng transgender, drag queen, o LGBTQ+. Ayon sa family accounts, inilalarawan niya ang sarili bilang may “pusong babae,” at minsan ay sinabing, “Pero por Dios, babae ako!” Dahil sa mga larawang naiwan niya, si Pulong Luna ay itinuturing ngayon bilang mahalagang bahagi ng Philippine q***r and gender history—isang bihirang visual record na nagpapakita na noon pa mang panahon ng American colonial Philippines, may mga Pilipinong buong tapang nang nagpapahayag ng kanilang gender identity at personal na pagkatao sa paraang kakaiba sa nakasanayang social norms.

The Preparatory Committee for Philippine Independence (PCPI) was a body created in June 1943 during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II.
The PCPI was tasked with drafting a new constitution for the Philippines, which would serve as the foundational law for the Japanese-sponsored Second Philippine Republic (1943–1945). This was in line with Japanese Premier Hideki Tōjō's promise of "the honor of independence" to the Filipinos.It was composed of 20 delegates, largely prominent Filipino leaders, including members of the pre-war Philippine National Assembly and individuals who had experience with the drafting of the 1935 Philippine Constitution. The members were selected by the KALIBAPI (Kapisanan sa Paglilingkod sa Bagong Pilipinas - Association for Service to the New Philippines), which was the only political organization allowed by the Japanese at the time.

🎬 The Ravagers (1965) ay isang Filipino-American World War II action-drama na idinirek ni Eddie Romero, tungkol sa grupo ng mga Pilipinong gerilya na lumalaban sa natitirang puwersang Hapones sa Pilipinas. Tampok dito si Fernando Poe Jr. bilang Sgt. Rubinio Gaudiel, isa sa pangunahing mandirigma kasama ni John Saxon bilang Capt. Kermit Dowling. Interesting din ang pelikula dahil isa ito sa mga early international films ni FPJ kung saan karamihan ng kanyang dialogue ay English, showing a different side of the future “Da King” bago pa tuluyang makilala sa kanyang iconic Filipino action-hero roles. Ang The Ravagers ay inilabas din sa ibang titles gaya ng Only the Brave Know Hell, at naging bahagi ng panahon kung kailan sinusubukang dalhin ang Philippine-made war films sa international audience.

Ang The Real Glory (1939), starring Gary Cooper, ay isang Hollywood film na naka-set sa southern Philippines noong early American colonial period. Naging controversial ito dahil ipinakita ang mga Moro Muslims mostly bilang violent, fanatical, at dangerous enemies, habang halos hindi naipaliwanag ang historical context ng kanilang resistance laban sa foreign rule at ang kanilang sariling political at religious institutions. Kinuwestiyon din ng Philippine government ang ilang eksena dahil parang ipinapakitang cowardly ang mga Filipino soldiers, kaya may mga eksenang ipinabago o pinatanggal bago ito ipalabas. Isa sa pinaka-controversial na eksena ay ang pagbabanta sa isang Moro prisoner na ililibing sa pigskin, na lalo pang nag-reinforce ng negative stereotypes tungkol sa mga Muslim. Bagama’t hindi ito official U.S. government propaganda film, malinaw na ang narrative nito ay pro-American colonial perspective—Americans are shown as bringers of order and civilization, habang ang Moro resistance ay halos inilalarawan lamang bilang violence and fanaticism.

Noong 21 Hulyo 1911 sa Jolo, Sulu, tatlong Moro rebels ang binitay sa ilalim ng pamahalaang kolonyal ng Amerika. Ang ganitong mga pangyayari ay bahagi ng magulong yugto ng kasaysayan ng Mindanao at Sulu, kung saan nagpatuloy ang armadong paglaban ng ilang grupong Moro laban sa bagong kolonyal na pamamahala matapos ang pagtatapos ng kapangyarihang Espanyol sa Pilipinas.
