OBSERVATIONS
HISTORY OF NEGRITO
IN PHILIPPINES
BY Mack C. Nance
Continued from last issue)

According to history, of the Phil
ippines, compiled, recorded and
published by the Catholic fathers
q have studied it the remnants of
huge fleet of sea going 'praos'
(crude native African ships) load
ed with men, women and children,
pure Africans, landed, taken pos
session at or near the mouth of the
Pampanga river, in the Pampanga
province. Owing to the similarity
of climate and vegetation, these mi
grants felt sure that they had
landed on new sites of the African
continent. They were somewhat
puzzled by the color and the tex
ture of the hair of the Pabpanga
natives. This, according to history;
was in the 18th century, about $40
years ago. Having been exposed
and at the cruel mercies of the
seas for many moons, they consid-
cred their new discovery, a Gods
send. Prior to the migration of the
Africans; this valley was sparsely
settled by Malayanos (native Pant
pangas). These Africans were of
an exploitive and an aggressive
type of people. They openly in
fringed upon the rights Of the Fill
pino people. The Filipinos resented
such intrusion, yet, in the face of
this hoard of bold, fierce and over
powering tribe of black and kinky
haired people, they quietly gave up
their lands. The Africans thrived,
multiplied and became strong.
They soon occupied a wide stretch
of that fertile basin on either side
of the Pampanga river.
Progressive and Non-Progressive
Tribes of Africa
In Africa, there are progressive |
and non-progressive tribes. 1t is
the opinion of many, that to a great
extent, the Afro-American are the |
seepage of non-progressive tribe
of Africa. Reaction from a non-(
progressive people, results in an
inferior complex This bunch of !
human parasites can be easily dis
tinguished by their initiative,
clownish and highly pretensive eff
forts to change the color of their
skin and the texture of their hair,
overnight, by synthetic, chemical
process. This is perversion in it's
lowest sense. When 1 see Negro
boy coming up the street with his
hair slicked back, cheeks roughed
and perhaps his fingernails painted
red; l am left wondering, if this
freak, will become a father or a
mother of future generations. At
any rate, continuation of this
suit in the development of a freak
race.
Africans Invite Fury of MaIayanos
The Afro -Filipinos were indus
trious and progressive, yet, they
felt that they were better than
their brown brothers. They follow
ed up their aggressive attitude.
They (Africans) made an attempt
to infuse African ideals, habits and
traditions upon the Filipino. In
fact, they tried to make Africans
out of the Malaga races. This only
brought about confusion and final
ly, open hostilities between the
two races. Though outnumbered,
100 to 1, the Africans succeeded in
driving the Filipino from the rich
soil on either side of the Pampan-
ga river The Africans, now, occupy
that rich valley from it's mouth,
north of Manila to Bacolar Pan
pamga. The continued fighting be-
tween the two races attracted the
attention and sympathy Of the Tag
alags to the south, the Elocanos
and Pangasinans north and north
west. All joined in for the purpose
of annihilating the black warriors.
