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.

Marinduque's Mystery Beans.

From the April 1896 edition of The Botanical Gazatte. Discussion of beans which resemble pebbles found on the beach of Marinduque during the Steere Expedition.

We have never really looked for these at Ulong, however they must be there as the crawling ground vines they produce are present all along the beach.

On April 6, 1934 a Floating Exhibition visited Boac.

The SS J. Bustamante carried the Floating Exposition a Philippine government initiative designed to promote local products and industries by visiting various ports. The exposition aimed to boost the Philippine economy and showcase local Filipino-made products, coinciding with the broader economic campaign of the era.

The SS J. Bustamante itself is named after Fernando Bustamante, a Spanish Governor-General whose 1719 assassination is famously depicted in a painting by Felix Resurrección Hidalgo.

More information about the exhibition is contained in the newspaper articles below.

How to describe the Moriones in two short paragraphs.

Atlanta Daily World April 25 1961 as told by Airman Marcellus Jefries.

Note: The use of the word "Gayish" in 1961 was not used in the same context as is commonly used today.

I had found this video 15 years ago featuring one of the Moriones mask makers. To my surprise, when I showed it to Dr. Randy Noblezsa at MSU, he commented that it was part of his original thesis work. He had no idea that it was on the internet.
