To Lori Ocampo,
My professor did a research on colonial lighthouses in the Philippines. It was published in his book entitled: Lonely Sentinels of the Sea. It’s available at NBS and Powerbooks. His name is Arch. Manuel Maximo Lopez del Castillo Noche. He’s an architect, historian, writer, and professor at UST College of Architecture.

Hi, I am trying to find anyone who might have information on the Peckson family (daughter Phelly) that owned a sugar mill during WWII. My friend is a WWII U.S. Army veteran that became very attached to family but lost track of them after he was sent home. I guess the island’s infrastructure was compromised by the war and his letters never reached them. He has wondered all this time what became of them. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Please email me: cindy@xssmith.com
Thank you! Cindy

I’ve written a book about 19ht century’s five original & inedit manuscripts maps from northern Luzon, first of them about the fundation of Bucay- Abra province in 1847 by first Abra governor ltcolonel Ramón Taxonera Marzal, next about first ever made expeditions through cordillera inner territories to draft first map of north Luzon, etc. The book is based on original documents from spanish militar archives and reveal a plan of civilization that changed the history of the Philippines. I’d like to get in touch with cultural institutions interested. If such, pls contact at my e-maim peleteiro@voila.fr. Tks coop. Rgds
