Title: Filipino Federation. Since 1925 [visor]
Seller: Bolerium Books Inc., ABAA/ILAB (United States)
Description: Mfg. by Port Authority Signature, n.d.. Visor with adjustable strap, probably ca. 1990s. Hilario Camino Moncado established the Filipino Federation of America in 1925 in Los Angeles, California. It was also known at various times as the Filipino World Federation and the Filipino Crusaders World Army. As one of the fraternal organizations appealing to the small but growing Filipino immigrant community, the FFA distinguished itself from competitors by accentuating "clean living" and rules of moral conduct. Moncado earned a law degree and sought to portray the immigrant community as responsible and healthy, in contrast to the then-prevalent depictions of uneducated gamblers. Much less publicly, the FFA developed a set of religious teachings that held Moncado to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ by way of José Rizal, the Filipino patriot executed in the waning days of Spanish rule. (Moncado's birthday was changed to make him appear to have been born after Rizal's death, so that his identity as Rizal's reincarnation would be more plausible). Later in life Moncado advocated golf as an ideal sport, and this may well have been intended for wearing out on the links.
