This is a video that purportedly shows US success in the Philippines so, of course, you won't see anything negative. Don't kid yourselves, guys. The Philippines was never without problems. It was never perfect. The Philippines is horribly mismanaged. Whose fault is that? You are the ones who voted for these incompetent and corrupt officials.

I must admit I do get saddened how many times the Philippines have gotten colonized by other countries. I was there In August of 2011 and I was surprised on how much of the culture has been changed by occupiers. I'm American and I love the Philippines and its people and its culture but I wish I knew more about its first culture way before Spain. I did see a few structures in the rural areas that looked in line with how buildings were back in the day. I just hate the loss of culture. God bless

Read this book “Manila men in the new world” you'll find some Mexicans their roots can be traced from the Philippines vice versa and Filipinos inherited some of Mexicans culture and tradition due to Galleon trade...Tatay which is dad in Filipino language for example is actually Aztecs (Nahuatl language)(amazon.com/dp/971542­5291/ref=nosim?tag=idigita-20&­linkCode=sb1&camp=212353&creat­ive=380549)

Wow, this is really a beautiful video clip. So we had streetcars before the war. The first church that was shown, I think that was San Agustin Church. Magnificent video. Thanks for sharing this with us.

A los norteamericanos siempre les dio envidia que España tuviera un imperio en que nunca se ponía el sol. En 1.898 quisieron deshispanizar el archipiélago pero no lo consiguieron pues aún se conservan las costumbres hispanas. Ellos carecen de verdadera cultura propia a no ser que lo sean Hollywood, Disney y Macdonalds.

Did they drive on the left side of the road? Odd.
