Excerpt from The Story of the Lopez Family: A Page From the History of the War in the Philippines The facts set forth in the following pages are not published with the object of parading the misfortunes of those to whom they relate. What is told of the Lopez family is, unfortunately, true of many other families in the Philippines. Those of the Lopez family who were here in America urge that it cannot truthfully be represented that theirs is an isolated case, or that their sacrifices and sufferings have exceeded those of many others of their fellow-countrymen. It should also be stated that the Lopez family, as well as Dr. Rizal and Senor Basa whose portraits appear in this book, are full-blooded Tagalogs. This statement is made authoritatively, in refutation of oft-repeated assertions to the contrary, and in order that readers may know that they are in contact with real Filipinos. It may, then, be asked. Whence the Spanish names, - Lopez, Castelo, Rizal, etc. The explanation is a simple one, and has to do, not with genealogy, but with history: Many years ago, before Spain became despotic and odious, the better-class Filipinos, at the suggestion of the Spanish authorities, adopted Spanish surnames. The possession of a Spanish name by a Filipino does not, therefore, imply racial mixture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
