Manage episode 424275079 series 2910470
Recently discovered Spanish military memoirs reveal that after Filipino revolutionary troops defeated the Spanish colonial army in 1898, the Filipinos treated their prisoners of war with honor.
According to the newly translated and published memoirs of Spanish military doctor Dr. Santos Rubiano, they were detained in the homes of wealthy Filipinos in Batangas, fed well and freed a little more than a year later.
The revealing memoirs were recently found and translated by a young historian, Renz Katigbak, a Filipino immigrant to the US who learned Spanish so he could research obscure texts in the archives of Spain.
Howie Severino talks to Renz about what the Spanish account adds to our knowledge of the period and how he stumbled on the Rubiano memoirs, which have never been mentioned in history books.
