1908: The Way It Really Was

Ingles has come up with a unique concept for a centennial tribute for the University of the Philippines. Setting the founding of the university amidst news reports on current events in 1908, he causes us to ponder the early years of the American occupation of the country and to look beyond 1908 to the universitys emergence as an intellectual center of vital relevance to the development of national consciousness of the Filipino people.
