[Webinar Video] Philippine-American “Relations”-- Romance and Heartbreak Among Filipino and American Celebrities in Washington, D.C., 1898-1946

Last Feb. 16, 2021, Erwin Tiongson and Titchie Carandang-Tiongson, co-founders of POPDC, shared stories they have collected (or have been told by others) of love and heartbreak set in Washington, D.C. 

Learn about Alice Roosevelt and the Sultan of Sulu • Nina Thomas and Resident Commissioner (and future Philippine President) Manuel L. Quezon • Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Isabel Rosario “Dimples” Cooper • Carlos Bulosan and Miren Ugarte, among others. 

The presentation included recently discovered artifacts from various sources and from POPDC’s own collection. They shared little known postscripts to some of these unhappy stories and some happy ones too.
