Pero no fue así. En el caso de Puerto Rico, España no defendió ni la autonomía que nos había dado que incluía nuestra propia moneda ni la ciudadanía española que teníamos.

@lastchip - They Filipinos attacked heavily armed SOLDIERS that had invaded their country using machetes. That is incredible bravery against a brutal invading army. They were not hiding behinds women and children they attacked an army base without even having guns.

The Americans responded by killing unarmed women and children and destroying the entire Island.

How sick you must be to not see what the U.S. was doing was wrong.

[lastchip]

Using church bells as attack singles, hiding behind their own women and children. Hoping the Americans would be to civilized to shot for fear of hitting non combative. Guessed wronged I'd say. Why are people shocked when brutal guerillas war tactics prod a standing army to reply in the same manor.

ang nagpapahirap sa atin ngaun ay mga intsik mga amerikano at mga kurakot na mga pilipinong nasa gobyerno..pagaralan nyo mabuti ang kasaysayan at makikita nyo na ang mga kastila ang humubog sa atin upang maging isang bansa tayo..oo may pangaabuso mula sa iilang kastila pero mas malaking kabutihan at malaking kaunlaran ang naibigay sa atin ng mga kastila...ang maging kristiyano lang ay napakalaking kayamanan na pamana sa atin ng kastila yan..

Death to American Imperialists! I pray that all the US soldiers and commanders who killed Filipino civillians during the Philippine-American War are in hell right now. I admire the Filipinos who selflessly defended the country against the Americans. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

[SuperSelwyn1]

fuckin american imperialists. the americans themselves were victims of imperialism by the british. they were also a colony back then. how dare they become imperialists. death to imperialism!

@AmzitheSoldier japan attacked us because we were the bastion of america in asia pacific, but even so the death toll from the japanese was less than the genocide your people committed and hid,.and they already apologised and compensated for what they did, search it in you tube, you can find the apology speech of the japanese ambassador in the philippines. i dont really expect any apologies from the americans but at least don't deny what you did, innocent lives were lost by the millions you know.

@halashet What? Asians haven't apologized for enslaving Africans at the same time as Whites, meanwhile only whites are blamed for slavery. Or murdering 10's of Millions of other people. You should be thankful we rescued you lot from the Japanese ;]
