Colorized Bagobo Chieftain, circa 1900

There are so few Philippine vintage photos online and they are mostly small with blurred details, not good to colorize.  I see that some local artists have also colorized them.  Here's may take on a 1900 shot of a Bagobo Chieftain that had a presence at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, MO as part of a collection of "primitive"tribes exhibit to showcase the American colonial rule in the Philippines.

  1. The Philippines was taken over by the U.S. from Spain in 1899, not 1999.
