FOREWORD 



THIS Anniversary Number of the Manila Daily Bulletin, "The Exponent of Philippine Commerce," 

 published during the twenty-first year orT^rnerican occupation of the Philippine Islands, appears 

 at a time when not only are the eyes of the western world turning toward the vast productive areas 

 of the Orient but on the eve of important political developments which, it is hoped, will define for 

 all time the relations between the Philippine Government and the United States. 



To those in America, who have thought of the Philippines as something completely apart from our 

 national life, it is aimed to give this number a special message. In it the Philippines is presented as it stands 

 today after more than a score of years of American tutelage. The picture that must be painted is that of a 

 country with vast undeveloped resources, but at the same time a country and a people that have expressed 

 themselves as willing and happy to welcome that aid to economic development which comes in the same 

 spirit that has been invariably typified by the democratic institutions that have been implanted in the 

 islands under the Stars and Stripes. 



It is desired to convey, as well as one may convey pictorially, an idea of the beauties of Philippine 

 scen&ry and the monuments of progress that have been erected during American occupation in the form 

 of civic edifices, roads, bridges and manufactories. And at the same time there is an effort to bring to the 

 reader at least a breath of the air of medievalism that still lurks in the old Walled City and in the nave of 

 many an ancient Spanish cathedral and monastery. 



While it is manifestly impossible to cover Philippine conditions or opportunities in a single publication, 

 attention is called to the commercial possibilities of the Islands and to the patent advantages presented by 

 its location for the establishment of a strategic base for the development of American business and commerce 

 in the Far East. 



The book itself is almost entirely the product, so far as designs, cuts and press work are concerned, of 

 Filipino artists and craftsmen, and the volume is issued as a feature of the present campaign for closer 

 commercial relations between the Philippines and the United States. 



The publishers take this opportunity of expressing their gratitude to the following to whom credit 

 goes for the photographs reproduced in this Anniversary Number: The Bureau of Science, the Bureau of 

 Public Works, the Bureau of Agriculture, the Camera Supply Company, and Messrs. Roberts, and 

 D. Denniston. 



The half-tone cliches and color plates are the product of the Bureau of Printing, and for their excellence 

 credit goes to Mr. C. E. Doty, head of the photo-engraving department, and to the Filipino craftsmen on 

 his staff. 



The issue has been printed upon the presses of E. C. McCullough and Co. of Manila. 



The advertising section has been compiled by Special Representative, Fielding J. Stilson, and a 

 greater part of the advertisements were designed by O. F. Wang of the Metropolitan Advertising Agency, 

 Manila. 



The Manila Daily Bulletin also wishes to express its thanks to those who have contributed the articles 

 on various phases of Philippine life, industry and development; to officials of the Philippine government who 

 have co -operated most heartily in making this publication a success; and to the advertising public, without 

 whose liberal support this volume could never have been produced.
