Notes on the Philippines Piers Kelly, 2021 How to use this document This document is a kind of Commonplace Book. That is, a compilation of direct quotations I have made from texts that I have read in the course of my research. All these texts are relevant to Philippine studies with a strong bias towards my own interests: language, the Visayas, ethnography, ritual, millenarian movements etc. My aim in making it public is a) to make make the documentary basis of my research transparent; and b) share portions of texts with other researchers (some of the materials are difficult or impossible to find outside of the archives in which they are kept.) The quotations are arranged in chronological order by date of publication. The best way to navigate them is to do do a CTRL+F search and to use the tags below if necessary. Many of these tags are meaningful only to me! A list of searchable digital sources on Philippine studies can be found here: https://bravenewwords.info/cache/digital-resources-for-philippine-studies/ —P.K.
