The Truth About
So-Ca|Ied Wild
Tribes Of The
Philippines

SBy Jose p. Malencio OF he Philip
pine Press Bureau. Washington.)
Some twenty Filipino mountain
GERS, picked up from the wilds of Luz
xon and exhibited in their sylvan at
tire in the st. Louis exposition have
drawn more crowds than all the 9TH
er exhibits featuring Filipino civili-
station and have given America the
impression that the Philippines are a
jungle teeming with naked, long
haired. head hunting people whose
creed and culture find their summum
manifestation in the primitive bow
and arrow. A number of money-mak-
ing Adventures have shortly after
toured the country, taking with them
the self same alleged samples of
Philippine humanity and have exhib-
tied them here and there within the
confines OF this republic, charging
20 cents or Whereabouts for look
see." Naturally here was something
super-novel to the eyes of the curio-
loving American. especially in these
days when naked Sioux and Hotten-
tots have become rare sight in
deed. And in proportion as the cot
fers of the exhibitors were being
filled to OVERLOOKING American opin-
ion of the Filipinos and things Phil

Opium Is the dried juice Of the white

flowers have fallen off the plants men

to help him win freedom for all
the world" Consider the extreme
poverty OF these brave and promising
people; consider their distance from
the arena of conflict; think of their
mountain huts and Of their scanty
knowledge of world affairs; and then
emasure the splendidness of the gift

Christian peoples can be found.
Thousands of pesos are Appropriated
every year from the pockets of the
ten million Christian Filipinos and
spent for the non-Christian tribes in
the form of schools, hospitals and ag-
ricultural implements. Teachers
doctors and nurses from all over the
islands are carrying a message Of
goodwill wherever they go. The non
Christian peoples are actually repre-
scented in the national legislature OF
the Philippine Islands, there being
one Igorot and two Moro congress-
men in that body We are one in
spirit and one in blood" said the
foremost citizen OF the Moro people,
Senator Hadji Butu.

ing agitated. Intentionally or unin-
tentionally, maliclously or otherwise
those exhibitors did more harm to
the Philippine cause than all the 9TH
er campaigns against 1t launched in
open ground.
Since then the American press have
written editorial after editorial al
leging unpleasant terms that indie
pendence cannot be the birthright Of
Ia people primitive in all respects and
still In the age OF savagery. Thus,
even In the hey-dey of the twentieth
century when distance is said to have
been annihilated by the wonderful
creations OF mems minds when peo-
pies are supposed to be fairly we'll
acquainted with the wondrous trans
formations of nationalities faring else
where than in ones immediate envir-
onment, when happenings from one
part of this planet are communicable
to all other parts with lightning like
rapidity--even in this wonderfully
Enlightened age, there are such things
as an entire nation being flagrantly
misrepresented and the misrepresen-
tations taken for granted.
What, then, is the truth about the
so-called wild tribes Of the Philip
pines? Are they savages irretriev-
ably? Are they susceptible of being
civilized? Must their presence pre-
vent the recognition of the righteous
claims of the Philippine nationalism?
The following facts are submitted
to candid Americans:
NUMBER Is SMALL
There are about 100000 pagan
peoples in the Philippines. This
number includes every non-Christian
tribe from Luzon to Mindanao. 1t is
one-twentieth of the entire popula-
ton which is 10,500,000. When,
therefore, writer's speak of people
just being redeemed from the abyss
of savagery, the statement applies
only to the insignificant portion of
the tntire population of the archipel-
ego. 1t does not apply to the other
portion, the ten million civilized and
up to the minute Christian Filipinos,
transformed into medieval Europ-
cans long before the Americans came
today fast being Americanized and
actually conducting republican
form of government unbaffled by its
intricacies. Yet the general impress
sion Of America is that all the inhab-
itants Of the Philippines are as fresh
from the paleolthic stage as newly
Matched chick is from its egg.
The most numerous of the socalled
pagan tribes are the Igorots OF Luz
zon and the Moros of Mindanao. The
latter. however, are Mohammedans
and have a civilization of their own.
EXPERTS IN SOIL CULTIVATION
In intensive cultivation OF the soil
in the way the Igorots cultivate the
steepest mountain side this world
and age have yet to look for their
superiors. One has to see the rice
terraces of the sub province of Ifu
gao, rising like giant steps up the
sides of the steep mountain canyons
to height of three thousand feet
or more, IL he must realize the colos-
sal industrial undertaking. the mar
Vicious engineering accomplishments
of these simple people. In the words
OF an American writer, those terraces
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1919-07-26
FAST BEING CIVILIZED

The pacific conquest of the noun
tain people as well as of the Moros
OF Mindanao is fast being achieved.
Head hunting is now dim vision OF
the past. The Moro bandits of the
sonth have settled down. The land
where Pershing first made his name
Is being completely transformed. The
creed OF Jesus Christ is enlisting
proselythe after proselyth, while
trade and intercourse re hur y;ng
with their stimulating touch.
The summer capital of the Philip
pine Islands (Baguio) is located in
the heart OF the mountains of north
.ern Luzon where Igorots abound.
Daily multitudes of them can be seen
coming down from their homes am
ong the pine trees bringing the pro.
ducts of their plantations to the mar
ket buying of the Christian Flllpin-
os whatever objects attract their
taste, and otherwise mingling peace
fully with the visitors from the low
lands. Daily, they can be seen serv-
ing as walters in hotels, employed as
messengers and statesmen in stores,
or acting as guides through the fast
ness Of the mountains, In recognition

present an inspiring sight; and
viewed in connection with the prim-
tive conditions of the people there is
nothing comparable to them in the
world. The pyramid of Cheops or
the tallest 'skyscraper' in New York
would appear insignificant beside the
clear-cut, Herculean achievements OF
the ancestor worshipping Igorote."
