Carlos Quirino

Abstract

The Philippines today has a battalion of soldiers in Vietnam, popularly known as the Philippines Civil Action Group or PHILCAG for short, and a controversy has risen as to whether or not it is justified to have done so. This is the third Philippine expedition to Indo-China. The second was sent in 1858, and the first late in the sixteenth century.
