<br />
An eight-nation conference opened in Manila on September 6, 1954, to
create a treaty designed to prevent communist aggression is Southeast
Asia. The United States, Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, the
Philippines, Thailand, and Pakistan signed the Southeast Asia Collective
Defense Treaty (also know as the Manila Pact) on September 8, 1954. The
agreement created the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO).<br />
<br />
Unlike
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO) , SEATO did not create
its own military structure, nor did it oblige its members to respond if
one was was attacked. SEATO was disbanded in 1977.<br />

Also known as the "Brains of the Revolution", Mabini was a respected advisor to General Emilio Aguinaldo. The <a href="http://nhcp.gov.ph/apolinario-mabini-shrine-pup/"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>National Historical Commission of the Philippines</b></span></a> has posted this brief biography:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Apolinario Mabini, the Revolution’s political philosopher, proved that illness was no hindrance to greatness.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> In 1896, Mabini’s was struck down by polio; the disease paralyzed both
his legs. In illness Mabini’s mind became even sharper. With the
Spanish-American War looming on the horizon, he wrote a manifesto
warning Filipinos not to trust the Americans. The document made its way
to Hong Kong, into the hands of the exiled leaders of the 1896
revolution. General Emilio Aguinaldo sent for Mabini, who at first
meeting disappointed him. What was he supposed to do with this cripple?
But when Mabini spoke, Aguinaldo saw his worth. From then on, Mabini was
installed as Aguinaldo’s adviser, earning for himself the accolade
“Brains of the Revolution.”</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">At the outbreak of the Filipino-American War in 1899, Mabini was
captured by the Americans and was imprisoned for almost two years. Upon
his release, he wrote patriotic articles for the local papers. Angered,
the Americans exiled him to Guam.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Fearing he would never see the Philippines again, Mabini reluctantly
took an oath of allegiance to the United States that allowed him to come
home in February 1903. On May 13, 1903 he died of cholera at the age of
39.</span></span></blockquote>
<br />
The stamps feature Mabini sitting regally on a rattan chair.<br />

Although Rizal was a Filipino nationalist, there are no photographs of him wearing a barong. However Rizal appreciated indigenous clothing and textiles, and donated his collection to the Ethnological Museum of Berlin in 1887. Among the artifacts was a barong tagalog, but no evidence that it had ever been worn by Rizal.<br />

<br />
Sergio Osmeña (1878 - 1961) was the 4th President of the Philippines from 1944 to 1946, assuming the post upon the death of Manuel Quezon. Osmeña had a long political career which spanned the period of U.S. governance. He was Governor of Cebu from 1901 to 1907. In 1907, Osmeña won a seat in the Philippine Assembly and became its first Speaker. He remained in the House until 1922 then sat in the Senate until 1935 when he became Manual Quezon's running mate serving as Vice-President from 1935 to 1944.<br />
<br />
The Osmeña definitive was issued on December 10, 1963. The 70s stamp was engraved by Bradbury, Wilkinson (England).<br />

1949, 6,000 Russians were granted temporary refuge on the Philippine
Island of Tubabao. This post explains why the Russians fled to the
Philippines and shows a cover mailed from Canada to a Ukrainian
representative in the Philippine evacuation centre.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">"White" Russians in Exile</span><br />
<br />
After
the Russian Civil War of 1922-24, soldiers of the anti-Bolshevik
"White" Army and their families fled Russia. Several thousand Russians
settled in China, many of whom became residents of Shanghai. The
Russians remained in China until the late 1940s but were forced to
evacuate during the Chinese Civil War as the Chinese Red Army was
securing victory over Nationalist forces in mainland China.<br />
<br />
The
Philippine government provided temporary refuge for the 6,000 Russians
escaping from China. In 1949, the United Nations International Refugee
Organization (IRO) established the United Nations Evacuation Center
(UNEC) on the Philippine island of Tubabao.<br />
<br />

South American nations.<br />

attractive "Presidential Credo" series consisting of eight sets of
stamps honouring the first eight Presidents. The stamps have a common
design featuring an engraved image of the President on the left side of
the stamp and that President's credo in Filipino and English or Filipino
and Spanish. Each stamp has a facsimile autograph of the President but
the name is not printed on the stamp.<br />
<br />
The first set in the series, featuring President Manuel Roxas, was
engraved by Bradbury, Wilkinson (England). All other sets were engraved
by the Government Printing Bureau (Japan). The stamps were not issued
in chronological order of Presidencies.<br />

<br />
Andres Bonifacio was a major figure in the Philippine Revolution. He was a founder and later leader of the <i>Katipunan </i>movement, a secret society which sought the independence of the Philippines from Spain. The discovery of the <i>Katipunan</i> by Spanish authorities in August, 1896, led to the outbreak of the revolution. Bonifacio reorganized the <i>Katipunan</i> into a de facto revolutionary government naming himself as President and commander-in-chief of the rebel army.<br />

<br />
Divisions within the revolutionary movement led to the replacement of the <i>Katipunan</i>
by a revolutionary government. In March 1897, Emilio Aguinaldo
defeated Andres Bonifacio in an election held at the Tejeros
Convention to become President of the revolutionary government.
Bonifacio refused to recognize the Aguinaldo government and attempted to
establish a rival government. On Aguinaldo's orders, Bonifacio and
his brother were arrested and convicted of treason, and sentenced to
death. They were executed by firing squad on May 10, 1897. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">5s Tinkling Dance</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The tinikling is a pre-Spanish dance that involves two people beating, tapping, and sliding bmboo poles on the ground and against each other in coordination with one or
more dancers who step over and in between pole between the poles in a dance. The dance originated in
islands in the central Philippines as an imitation of the tikling bird
dodging bamboo traps set by rice farmers. The dance imitates the
movement of the tikling birds by skillfully
maneuvering between large bamboo poles.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6s Pandanggo sa ilaw (Dance of the Oil Lamps)</span><br />
<br />

<br />
This dance originates from Lubang Island, Mindoro in Visayas. '<i>Pandanggo sa ilaw</i>' means '<i>Fandango</i> with light'.The term <i>pandanggo</i> comes from the Spanish word <i>fandango</i>,
which is a dance characterized by marking time with a clack of
castanets, snapping of fingers, and stomping of feet in triple-time
rhythm. A dancer balances three oil lamps (<i>tinghoy</i>), or candles in glasses instead, balanced on her head and on the back of each hand while she dances.<br />

<br />
<br />
The Singkíl originated from the Maranao people who inhabit the shores of Lake Lanoa in Mindanao.

popular dance performed during celebrations and other festive
entertainment. <br />

<br />
<br />
Padre Burgos was Filipino secular priest who was tried and executed for sedition in 1872. In order to understand why Burgos and two other secular priests were killed by Spanish authorities it is necessary to understand the conflict between the Spanish friars (religious orders) and the native-born diocesan (secular) priests.<br />
<br />
<b>Secular and Religious Priests</b><br />
<br />
There are two kinds of priests in the Roman Catholic Church : diocesan (secular) and regular/religious (belonging to orders). Secular priests generally work in parishes assigned by bishops. Regular priests belong to religious orders such as Jesuits, or Franciscans, where a superior general has jurisdiction over the order's communities. <br />
<br />
<b>Conflict Between Bishops and the Orders: 1500s To 1760</b><br />
<br />
The first priests who came to the Philippines in the 1500s were from religious orders. In the early days there were no bishops to interfere with their parish work. As bishops were appointed and attempted to exercise their authority over parishes, the regular priests refused to be controlled by them, threatening to leave the Philippines. Bishops could not appoint secular priests to replace them because very few secular priests came from Spain to the Philippines. Vacancies in parishes had to be filled by priests from the Spanish orders. In fact, until the 1700s there were no native-born ordained priests. The orders did not wish to train native priests.<br />
<br />
<b>Secularization of the Philippine Church : 1760s to 1820s</b><br />
<br />
In 1759, a new Spanish monarch, Charles III, wishing to have more control over the Church targeted the religious orders, expelling the Jesuits from the Philippines in 1768. The secular clergy under the crown-appointed bishops were more easily controlled than were the religious priests. This created a shortage of priests in the Philippines, a problem which was solved by training and ordaining Filipino secular priests. The conflict was now between Filipino secular priests and the Spanish religious priests.<br />
<br />
<b>Reversal of Secularization : From 1820 </b><br />
<br />
The Spanish government's secularization policy changed in the 1820s following Mexico's successful war of independence from Spain. Since Mexican secular priests participated in the revolution against Spain, the Spanish government was now mistrustful of the Filipino secular priests. At first, the religious orders including the Jesuits, returned and slowly began the take-over of the parishes. Later, the Spanish authorities transferred parishes directly to the orders which aroused the secular priests to protest.<br />
<br />
<b>Father Burgos : 1868 - 1872</b><br />
<br />
Jose Burgos was a young secular priest who emerged as the leader of the Filipino clergy in 1868. He wrote that their rights were being denied them by the Spanish priests ant parishes were being denied to Filipinos because of their race. His protests were a concern to the government and the Spanish priests.<br />
<br />
<b>Cavite Mutiny and Burgos Execution: 1872</b><br />
<br />
The Cavite Mutiny of 1872 was an uprising of military personnel of the aresnal in Cavite. About 200 soldiers and laborers rose
up believing that this was the beginning of a national uprising against the Spanish. The
mutiny was unsuccessful. Although there was no real evidence that Burgos was involved in the revolt, the Spanish authorities, with the support of the Spanish orders, executed Burgos and fellow priests Gomez and Zamaora. The death of Padre Burgos affected Jose Rizal deeply and inspired his nationalistic writings.<br />
