From All thats interesting - Fil American war
The July 4 US Independence Day US Celebration (now the Fil Am friendship day) and the recent Trump trade war launched by US vs China reminds us of how powerful US is - the big benevolent brother, the country that saved PHL from Spanish 400 colonial rule.
However, how easily many of us have forgotten the Fil Am war that claimed nearly a quarter million lives, well with atrocities being committed on both sides. That is hardly the kind Americans whom Filipinos fought for in the Japanese war...Or those who nearly annihilated the residents of Balangiga.
Many termed this war as genocide and the first Vietnam for US outside of their country..
Yet we line up at US embassy to work for the land of milk and honey...And still wag our tails at the sight of them.... Let us think more independently and fell proud as Filipinos - strong intelligent and resilient
We still have the US colonial mentality - we love all things Americans, ape Americans, love Americans etc....
Hate for Japanese atrocitiies, Spaniards persist but not vs Americans....
Filipino soliders surrender to the Americans
