Philippine History in Washington, DC

Coming at a time when the Philippines and the United States unites anew against military aggression in the Pacific, Erwin Tiongson’s newly released book (2023) links us back to our shared wartime history and an extraordinary generation of leaders.

An essential guide for those interested in seeing Washington DC and its sites from a Philippine perspective—from the vantage point of a former American colony on the road to independence. Through storytelling and rare historical gems, Professor Tiongson fills in gaps in the Filipino-American narrative, reminding us that we were at once subjects of the American Empire as well as friends.
