Sinossi

Journey into the Philippine-American experience in Washington, DC. Washington is famed for its place in the history of the United States, but few know its close connections with the Philippines. Trace the intertwined histories of the two countries along the streets of Washington, from the end of the Spanish American War in 1898 through Philippine independence in 1946, and the many years since. West Potomac Park was inspired by Manila's Luneta, and District streets are named after pivotal Philippine battle grounds. These landmarks are often unmentioned in guidebooks. Hidden in plain sight are the stories of the fascinating figures that once inhabited these spaces. Professor and community historian Erwin Tiongson offers a first account of the city's Philippine heritage.

    Throughout history, secret societies have captivated the human imagination, their names whispered in shadowy corners, their rituals shrouded in secrecy. These clandestine groups, often operating in the hidden recesses of society, have been associated with the most significant events in world history, from political upheavals to revolutions. Despite the efforts of many to uncover their mysteries, much of what we know about them remains speculative, fueling a fascination that spans generations. But what drives this intrigue? Is it the promise of power, knowledge, or the allure of forbidden truths that draws people to these societies? 
    Secret societies are as old as civilization itself. From the ancient mystery schools of Egypt and Greece to the modern-day shadow organizations influencing global events, these groups have often been at the forefront of societal change, albeit behind the scenes. They are typically defined by their closed membership, strict initiation rites, and exclusive access to knowledge or practices that the outside world is not privy to. This secrecy has often been a point of both fascination and suspicion. Some view these societies as forces of good, safeguarding wisdom or advancing human progress, while others see them as dark, insidious entities working behind closed doors to manipulate world events for their own gain. 
    The historical roots of these secret organizations stretch back to times when religious, political, or philosophical beliefs were closely guarded. Ancient societies, such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, established mystery schools where knowledge was passed down only to those deemed worthy. These teachings often involved esoteric wisdom, such as alchemy, astrology, or sacred geometry, and were believed to hold the key to unlocking hidden truths about the universe and humanity's place within it.
