Matthew Westfall has plenty of roots in Manila. The author of The Devil’s Causeway, an account of a rescue mission gone awry and the first American prisoners of war during the country’s war for independence, has spent 30 years here, first in the Peace Corps, then as a development banker and documentary filmmaker. Not only that, his grandfather — a German-Russian — became naturalized here in 1921 and was a chemist for San Miguel Brewery. (His grandmother, also living in Manila, chose to relocate to California after her husband died in 1937 and the Second World War started brewing.)
