How well-dressed we Filipinos were before the war. Even in the 50s and 60s I remember pictures of my dad and he's in a suit when at the office all day. Either that or in resplendent Barong Tagalog. Formal church attire was a must and the men wore neckties. How clean the Pasig River was! And most of all, the skies of Manila were smog-free!

The US was pressed to abandon the Philippines after the war when the local government pushed for full Independence from the US, US president Truman was angry with this after the US spent billions of dollars developing the country from 1898-1941 , All in hopes it would be our 50th state,
