The article Alice Roosevelt, The Sultan Of Sulu, And The Theater Of American Empire (PF February 4 , 2026) by Alex Fabros revisits the meeting between Alice Roosevelt, daughter of US President Theodore Roosevelt, and the Sultan of Sulu. The event encapsulated a moment when the American empire sought to present itself as modern, inclusive, and benevolent, even as it consolidated control through coercion and administrative absorption. Fabros’ article awakened a memory from a reader, Jessie Huberty, who sent Publisher Mona Lisa Yuchengco a letter.
