The 1918 Influenza Pandemic in the Philippines: A Social and Demographic History by Francis Gealogo (History, Ateneo de Manila University)
The talk discusses the impact of the 1918 influenza pandemic in Philippine society and its population.  It provides some demographic data both on the national and local level, with emphasis on the mortality and morbidity rates that were caused by the pandemic.  At the same time, the paper analyses the implementation of public health programs, the politics of colonial health policies and the reception of the people to the public health measures implemented by the American colonial government during the pandemic.
