Description
Domingo Ponce, along with Crisanto Evangelista and Cirilo Bognot, was the founder of the "Partido Obrero de Filipinas" (Labor Party of the Philippines). Founded in 1924,this organization saw itself as the antithesis of colonial political parties and went so far as to label other politicians as "traitors to independence" (Constantino, 1975, P. 360). A year before the establishment of the organization, this article, written by Domingo Ponce, was published in the Bogang-Buhay newspaper. Much like other travelogues in which authors include similarities to their homeland, the article shows how members of the Lehion Lodge hold on to their homes. More specifically, the members leave Manila for Cebu, but when their boat gets delayed they rejoice in the fact that they get to stay in the city for a few more hours. Moreover, when the boat eventually does depart, the members keep their eye out for Manila until the city is no longer visible. It is interesting how, in their purpose of building a nation, travelogues served not just as a point of comparison when writers traveled abroad, but also as a way to explore and make their own country known.
