"Fil and Filippa: Story of Child Life in the Philippines" by John Stuart Thomson is an illustrated narrative written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a thematic exploration of the lives of two Filipino children, Fil and Filippa, and their experiences growing up in the culturally rich and diverse Philippines. The story reflects on various aspects of their daily lives, including their home environment, local customs, natural surroundings, and the significance of community and family. The narrative is framed through the eyes of a visitor, who observes and learns about the vibrant traditions and practices in the lives of the children and their families. Fil and Filippa engage with friends, attend church services, and participate in local celebrations, all while introducing the reader to their customs and the beauty of their tropical homeland. The book delves into the local flora and fauna, the importance of agricultural products like cocoa, sugar, and hemp, as well as the unique aspects of Philippine architecture and culture.
