Throughout the twentieth century, enthusiasm for internationalism in the Global South expressed itself in waves. This chapter follows one such wave inspired by the United Nations, which crested in an era of decolonization and nation building in the 1950s, before subsiding in the 1960s amidst interfering visions for the Third World. It follows the diffraction of this liberal internationalist wave – a wave encountered, experienced, and interrogated through educational print culture, distilled, and disseminated by the Philippines’ oldest educational press still in operation, the Abiva Publishing House. The chapter queries what it meant to be a good citizen of the world during the Cold War, and of a nascent Philippine nation whose internationalist moment, hitherto submerged, was now rising to the surface.
