1956réf. 351060Honolulu: Supreme Council of EFB Students 1956. 4p. 8.5x11 inch newsletter creased from folding. Hilario Camino Moncado established the Filipino Federation of America in 1925 in Los Angeles California. It was also known at various times as the Filipino World Federation and the Filipino Crusaders World Army. As one of the fraternal organizations appealing to the small but growing Filipino immigrant community the FFA distinguished itself from competitors by accentuating "clean living" and rules of moral conduct. Moncado earned a law degree and sought to portray the immigrant community as responsible and healthy in contrast to the then-prevalent depictions of uneducated gamblers. Much less publicly the FFA developed a set of religious teachings that held Moncado to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ by way of José Rizal the Filipino patriot executed in the waning days of Spanish rule. Moncado's birthday was changed to make him appear to have been born after Rizal's death so that his identity as Rizal's reincarnation would be more plausible. After the achievement of Philippine independence and limitations on immigration the FFA turned almost entirely to spiritual rather than political objectives and even sent missionaries back to the Philippines where there is still an active sect venerating Moncado as a religious figure. This newsletter was issued just before his death. Moncado emphasized golf as an ideal sport and there is a feature titled "Fighting Communism through Golfing.
