Hello Philip, Ray & the rest of the guys;
Thanks for sharing a very nice pics. I'll share this also to my friends.
Here in the Philippines, Ding & I is searching for capable manufacturers & working already for some identified suppliers to make the leather suspenders, pouches, etc... of the Katipunan & Phil. Revolution & when the time we completed all the items here, we can help you also there in the US who wants to buy / avail accurate replicas of the different uniform of the Phil. Revolutionary soldiers
Pls. also help me here in collecting WWII items because its very hard to find WWII items in the Philippines & I plan to have a collection & also to be used in color guards in Amkor Tech Phil. (in my company) during special occassions & programs & other places as well to promote Filipino Heroism & History. I'll mail you separately what items I need.
rgds & Mabuhay; Perry

Hello folks! Here are a few more individual shots of Philippine military impressions from fort mac 2006..... Philippine Army officer's uniform circa 1939 wearing the guinit hat and next the montana peak. Philippine Army private circa 1939 ... and a Philippine Scout NCO circa 1900. Yes, no mistake, they really wore OD pants instead of khakis.

Thanks Carlos. It was a good effort indeed from our friends in the West Coast. I fixed some of the dead photo links so now even more of them should display. You probably didn't see the uniform shots earlier.
