Photos of the American conquest of the Philippines, an episode also referred to as the Filipino Genocide.
Soundtrack :Campanades a morts, by Lluís Llach.
LETRA (Catalan original)
Campanades a morts
fan un crit per la guerra
dels tres fills que han perdut
les tres campanes negres.

I el poble es recull
quan el lament s'acosta,
ja són tres penes més
que hem de dur a la memòria.

Campanades a morts
per les tres boques closes,
ai d'aquell trobador
que oblidés les tres notes!

Qui ha tallat tot l'alè
d'aquests cossos tan joves,
sense cap més tresor
que la raó dels que ploren?

Assassins de raons, de vides,
que mai no tingueu repòs en cap dels vostres dies
i que en la mort us persegueixin les nostres memòries.

Campanades a morts
fan un crit per la guerra
dels tres fills que han perdut
les tres campanes negres.

II

Obriu-me el ventre
pel seu repòs,
dels meus jardins
porteu les millors flors.

Per aquests homes
caveu-me fons,
i en el meu cos
hi graveu el seu nom.

Que cap oratge
desvetllí el son
d'aquells que han mort
sense tenir el cap cot.

@dafne269 do not rely on internet or books, follow your heart and instinct, be human.

@dafne269 Todos estos fueron la resulta de la occupacion de las Filipinas por los Americanos despues que los Españoles son partidos. Ahorra, gracias al net, usted puede buscar......sobre Islas Filipinas.....una multitud de libros escritos en español durante los 4 siglos de colonisation española......historia, geographia, ethnologia, estudios sobre lenguas, diccionarios etc etc......despues, usted puede juzgar la differencia entre la colonization typo EEUU y espanñola

I had a Filipino girlfriend that proudly showed me the statue of a moron in the Filipines. That statue is the image of a disgusting fag named Gen Mc Arthur" When he came ashore back to the Filipines. I told her: I dont know why you guys even celebrate this fags return, he did not do you any favors and he is surely not missed by many. The Filipino Govt should tear that statue down, it does not do any favors to anyone and just carries on a lie to younger generations

@Soyilonggo Que ignorancia, estas diciendo que era mejor matar 100 personas por los espanoles que 1000 por los gringos? Ambas fueron colonizaciones y ninguno de los dos tenian derecho de estar ahi punto.

@filmputzer If you think that money makes up for the crimes the US committed against Filipinos...well, alright. But don't expect everyone to agree.

Anyway, his point was that the US gave more monetary aid to Japan (an enemy) than to the Philippines (an ally), at least in the years after WW2. This seems rather odd to say the least. I can't find the source now, but I do remember reading this somewhere as well.

@abusabaya1925 In 2011 the US Government gave Philippines $367 million dollars just like every year since your INdependance. If US was not Hospitable to Filipino why do we have more than 11 million living in the US, You ask us to leave

[gatofritos]

Emocionante.

[abusabaya1925]

@syndrah90 After world war II the USA even gave more monetary aids to Japan, their enemy. Neglecting the P.I. their so-called ally during World War II. This is the reality of how they treat us. Filipinos should stop being hospitable towards these greedy and racist Americans. 

[abusabaya1925]

@hellcountry well in this case, random killings of Americans should be practiced from time to time. To remind these racist superpowers of their atrocities against the Filipino people.

@dafne269 Hello, I just want to share some information on this subject. The people who governed us took advantage of the distance of the Philippines from Spain. Back then, no Filipino represented the colony in Spanish court, so abuses by some of the clergy and governors went unnoticed. You do not need to apologize because the past is the past and you are not the perpetrator. I believe though that the past has some positive and negative effects, like all history.

A Filipino friend was very lucky to hear stories of American atrocities and mass killings by his late great grandpa who was then a young Katipunan fighter who fought against the Spaniards and later with Gen.Aguinaldo's troops against the Americans. Never in his grandpa's memory did he experienced mass killings done by the Spaniards nevertheless the Americans did it without deep regret which was worse than what the Japs have done. Today, the American troops continue their legacy of mass killings.
