This is another unidentified photograph, except for an address written in pencil on the the reverse of the card: "Mrs. D. De Garino, 1248 Primeaux, W. Covina, Cal. 91790." The inscription is fairly recent, as the 5 digit zip code system in the US came into use in July of 1963.
The photograph was taken at "Centro Artistico, Fotografia Espanola, Escolta 9, Manila." I believe this soldier served in the Philippine-American War (1899-1902) or the Spanish-American War (1898). I'm a little puzzled by his uniform. The cap looks to be infantry. The rest of his uniform is quite basic and doesn't appear to have any insignias.
