Slavery in the Philippines Reported by Worcester Phipps
A Philadelphia Record summary reports American officials' findings that slave trading and peonage persisted in the Philippines. Negritos and other tribes were sold or captured, with children taken from parents, baptized to establish ownership, and sold in Manila and beyond. Authorities acknowledge a slave trade despite resistance in the Philippine assembly.
