The late internationally renowned author Michael Crichton wrote in Timeline, one of his bestselling books,"Professor Johnston often said that if you didn’t know history, you didn’t know anything. You were a leaf that didn’t know it was part of a tree." An important part of American and Filipino history between the years 1898 through 1915 was a lost leaf once. But with the War and Dissent exhibit, which was produced by the Presidio Trust, originally shown at the Presidio Officers’ Club in San Francisco for four months, the lost leaf was found and with it a whole tree has been reformed. Now the very same powerful exhibit has come to the Philippines presented by the Lopez of Balayan, Batangas Foundation and in partnership with the National Museum of the Philippines and Fundacion Santiago.
