FOR PEACE AND LIBERTY
The long-forgotten masterpiece by Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo, Per Pacem et Libertatem, overlooks the assembly of Filipino and American representatives in the Salon de Marmol of the Ayuntamiento de Manila in Intramuros. This 1905 photograph by Burr McIntosh was included in Alice Roosevelt Longworth’s collection, taken during the 1905 William Howard Taft Mission to Asia. Today, the album is in safekeeping at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. The painting depicts Philippine-American partnership towards the country’s development as an independent democratic republic, which would materialise four decades later.
A LEGACY BEHIND
Manuel Luis Quezon y Molina served as the first president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944. In this rare photo by Harris & Ewing, he poses happily after his marriage to Aurora Antonia Aragon. During his presidency, he paved the way for the creation of an independent democratic republican government for the country, revamping the government into how we see it today. He enacted laws to address social justice, agrarian reform, educational reform and women’s suffrage, to name a few. After the Japanese invasion of the Philippines during World War II, he evacuated to Corregidor and eventually to Australia, then to the United States to lead the government in exile. He suffered from tuberculosis in April 1944 while in the US and died on August 1, 1944 in Saranac Lake, New York.
