This week we will feature young men from Marinduque that were highlighted in a U.S. Magazine, The Philippine Republic. The magazine was produced throughout the 1920's and featured Filipinos living or studying in the U.S.
First up is Vivencio Sosa from Gasan with a very interesting life story. He ended up in New Orleans, Louisiana as a prominent artist. The main article is from Vol 11, 1927.
He is also mentioned in two newspaper articles from the Times Picayune Newspaper. July 21, 1921 Kapisanan Pilipino and April 8, 1928 Rizal Society Dance.
