  • Thank you!!! ^_^Mabuhay!

  • Philippines independence was a trick because the reality of WWII was a plan made by japan and america making the world in chaos while they prosper in making deadly weapons. How many innocent Filipinos died during the war and the economy suffered because of long term planned manipulation of the world market by Free trade (tax free in complication). Greediness and power sucks! . Neither a win win situation. God bless Philippines.

  • Thanks U.S....

  • thank you

  • @kingalfayed Get over it. It's you guys that want the independence in the first place.

  • @edpannewyork That's naive to think that Filipinos would be better off if we didn't fight for independence. You assume all or most Filipinos would accept being under the Americans. If are a US citizen already, you are no longer a Filipino even if you still sound and look like one.

  • i salute you!!!

  • ...Legally, it might be said otherwise in our constitution but legalization does encaptualte the entirety of reality. A good tip would be not to look at the Philippines as a single entity with the cosmetic image of the central government. We are a Pluralistic and Diverse nation. It would be politically better, in my opinion, to address us as the Nations of the Republic of the Philippines. It would then give the different nationalities and ethnicities some sort recognition. Thank You very much

  • Umm...This perspective might help you in executing your diplomatic realtions in our country for the next three years; especially inyour peace keeping forces in mindanao. You must understand that I have to correct you when you say that the Philippines is A NATION because this connotes singulaity. The is no Filipino Nation (You migt alredy know this) in reality but there are Filipino Nations. We are a multiplicity of nations that has converged into state.

  • Philippines would have been better if they didn't fought for their own independence.. Philippines as an extended state of the United States would have been better economically by now...
