Josephine Bracken was from Hongkong but we have a photo of her in Filipiniana attire. Rizal was from the Philippines but we have no photo of him in a Barong Tagalog or Camisa de Chino. In many of his studio pictures Rizal wears a Western coat that provided the title for my book "Rizal Without the Overcoat."

Hayle F. Good day, sir! I'm Hayle. I'm an accountant and a lawyer by profession. I'd like to do a book on history of taxation in the Philippines, for my own sake and the reading public. I believe that doing the research will make me understand the why's of taxation here in our country. Why am I writing you. I believe in your way of doing research. I have read a book of yours on Rizal. I do have 2 of your books but could not find time to read them because of work and other concerns. I'm hoping that you can help me start with my project by giving me tips. Thnak you in advance. I'm praying for a reply.
