² The first historian of the anti-imperialist movement, Maria Lanzar-Carpio, discusses Sixto López but not Clemencia. Jim Zwick and Kristin Hoganson were the first scholars to draw attention to Clemencia's address to the New England Woman Suffrage Association (NEWSA).

¹⁹ It is doubtful that Clemencia and María (Mariquita) happened to be visiting Sixto in Hong Kong at this time of family crisis, as their official narrative maintains. More likely, they left Manila for the purpose of conferring with Sixto. By Clemencia's admission, she went to Hong Kong on December 15. Affairs in the Philippine Islands, 2621. In a published letter dated December 17, Juliana mentioned that she telegraphed Lorenzo the day before: “We know nothing of Balayan and believe it is quiet for otherwise they would have telegraphed us telling us what was happening.” She also noted that Sixto must have been surprised to see his sisters in Hong Kong “so soon.” No reason is given why some of the family would head for Hong Kong while others prepared to return to Balayan, though the sisters did remark on the seizure of their property and the arrest of their brothers.

In one of the three photos published with “Self-Exiled Filipino Maid Conquers with Beauty,” San Francisco Call, Nov. 2, 1902, 10, López seems to be wearing an American-style dress or shirtwaist with a high lace collar; thus she may have worn a variety of different clothing for the sitting with Chickering.
