It is a terrible tactic, but something they learned to do following the Spanish.

      The senate debated on whether to keep the Philippines as a territory…but half of them wanted to give us our independence just like they did Cuba. Where’s Cuba now?
      Even Quezon, who is the proponent for Philippine independence sided with the US because they were doing what they promised to do- in exchange for a post to make sure they have presence in the area, a decision that was crucial for when WW2 began.
      One of the main reason the US occupied us was because Japan started to flex and had their sights on the Philippines.

    This is where you meet reality as suppose to reaction. For most foreigners especially Americans, they think that this is just a made up story but the truth is this reality even exist in today's US standard practice. I lived in the US too long to know the difference between right or wrong and made up stories. The only thing I could criticized on the video is that I wish he could explain more on the negative part so that it could be understood as a lesson but not as a downer but as you said this is a hard reality to swallow if you are an American. But the good things, Filipinos are forgiving people. We can forget the past if your true heart is sincere with good intension. Mabuhay Lapulapu!

    Maybe you might have noticed that the Pilipinos had moved on not because it doesn’t matter, more because we learned from experiences from past conquerings and attempted conquerings that picking up the pieces through “Bayanihan” and moving on leads to living our lives better instead of complaining, moaning, or waiting for compensations. Me,personally speaking for myself had moved on and thankful to those who had invaded us for what we had learned/adopted like Christianity and form of government and constitution etc.
    This is as it is, history. We learned our lessons the hard way but those were what made us who we are now.
    Thank you anyway for watching a part of our history. Although US government had manipulated us twice, the preww2 and the modern one ( read George Schultz’s Turmoil and Triumph and Pres. Ronald Reagan’s diary)
    But don’t worry we accept and are friendly with Americans even when there are still Americans who looked down on us and treat us like trash.
    Our present president PBBM in spite of what was done to his father still looked at US as an ally based on our treaty between US and PH.

    There was an agreement between the US and Spain in 1898 called, "The Treaty of Paris", in which states that Spain will give independence to Cuba. It also includes the transfer of Ownership of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines from Spain to the US. In return the US will pay Spain 20 million dollars as compensation. Thus officially ending Spanish-American war.

    You were right, "Past is past".. We historically know that every colonizers just need the resources of the places they take.. But on the lighter side, hey, America did made true with itd promise of granting independence to the Philippines. And you did great things as well.. Infrastructures were developed. We had our own "commonwealth " government. And the best part of it is that, After the Jones Act of 1916,Uncle Sam prepared us for a still "unscheduled time-frame" (the initial time was more or less after 30 years, I think)of an independence. Then Tydings-McDuffie Law of 1934 clearly stated that : independence will be given to the Philippines after 10 years. So it's supposed to be 1944 but since Japan invaded us, it was delayed by 2 years.. But still, US made true to its promise of giving us independence on July 4, 1946. So, thank you, America

My relatives and clans was the Hawaii their refuge place in that time of troubles. What I am now todays was the shadow of the past sad story because I am now a Hawaiian citizen but I am living now here in the Philippines for the past three years ago. Sad and bad stories but it could be the best thing to do, to be strong and stands up with dignity and proud to be a Pilipino.

    To the lady host, the document you might want to check is the Treaty of Paris of 1898. For historical context before, during & after American occupation of the Philippines, there's the various papers of H. Otley Bayer, the Tydings-McDuffie Act passed by the US Congress in 1934, Philippine History for High Schools by Gregorio F. Zaide & a few other sources I can't remember now, but these would be to start with. Most of Philippine history during the colonial era (1521-1946) are written by white men, that is, written for, during & about a period when white men thought themselves at the top of the food chain & behaved accordingly. It is difficult to piece together the story of my peoples history as my ancestors lived & experienced the brutal end of a colonizers whip. But those of us who are alive today bear the marks of that whip in the intergenerational trauma that still affects every Filipino today.

    I was born in Baguio of parents from the Mountain provinces which was not conquered by the Spaniards. I am so glad that USA liberated the Philippines from the Spanish Empire. If they did not do that the Filipinos were treated as slaves by the Spaniards. Even when the Spanish left, some of their descendants that were left in the Philippines were so snobbish against the Filipinos. Besides I’d rather be under the USA than under Spain. Spain did not even like the Filipinos educated whereas the Americans brought Episcopalian or Anglican religion and trained the Igorots to become priest and in English unlike the Spanish who made most of the Filipinos Roman Catholic. They did train Filipinos to become catholic priest and they were saying mass in Greek or Latin.

    FYI Gen. Ricarte and his men (the Katipuneros) had already surrounded the City of Intramuros. There was no more fighting between the Filipinos and the Spaniards. Gen. Ricarte was just waiting for the Spanish Governor General to surrender. Then an American officer arrived with a letter from Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo that this American officer will take over. Gen. Ricarte was devastated and with a sadden (or teary eyes) left for Japan and never set foot in the Philippines again.

      Nope, Ricarte came back during WW2 Japanese occupation of the Philippines. He became a mediator between the Japs and the remaining local fighting force. Thus we were given by the Japs independence and was permitted to establish our own govt, which is in truth just a puppet government. Which the so called ex president Aguinaldo instantly joined in.

    I am a Filipino ADULT. My homeland, the Philippines, was colonized by the Spaniards, Americans, Japanese; failed conquest attempts by Portugal, Britain, France, and probably the ancient Cambodian, Indian and Thai kingdoms, Chinese and Japanese pirates and warlords; attempt at Islam takeover, etc.
    What I mean is: DIFFERENT HISTORICAL PERIODS HAVE DIFFERENT MORAL PERSPECTIVE. YOU NARRATORS ARE NOT DOING YOURSELVES ANY FAVOR BY KNEELING BECAUSE OF GUILT, AND CLEANSING YOURSELVES OF THE BAD SPIRIT OF IMPERIALISM.
    It is what it is. The American society presently won't allow their troops to forcefully occupy any "non-aggressive" or "non-threathening" foreign nation like the Philippines. BUT PEOPLE HAD A DIFFERENT MINDSET back then.
    You should look back at history with DISPASSION. YOU as a person did not do this. AND NEITHER MUST YOU JUDGE THE ACTORS. If the generals and politicians who did this can judge you now, you will be whipped for being too soft.
    If I may add, so as to calm your conscience down a little more, this 'conquest'- meaning the acquisition of Spanish territories after the Americaan Spanish War, was the only time the US expansion was accompanied by war. No further similar actions were perpetrated because the American civil society was opposed to this kind of behavior. You SHOULD be proud instead, you know...
    AND THE US GAVE BACK PHILIPPINE NATIONHOOD VOLUNTARILY, WITHOUT ANY THREAT OF REBELLION OR OUTCRY FROM THE FILIPINOS! Another merit!
    So, if you want to rail against American society, please target your politicians TODAY who want to destroy your country by stealing money (in the form of foreign aid- to Ukraine, Middle East, Africa- Can you account the lost billions? No. Check the bank accounts of Obama, Clinton, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, etc. You will find the money there.)

    According to Wikipedia… The Battle of Manila (Filipino: Labanan sa Maynila; Spanish: Batalla de Manila), sometimes called the Mock Battle of Manila, was a land engagement which took place in Manila on August 13, 1898, at the end of the Spanish-American War, four months after the decisive victory by Commodore Dewey's Asiatic Squadron at the Battle of Manila Bay.

    Yes let bygones be bygones but the american government should still properly apologize and pay their dues to the Philippines. America didn't even pay back filipino military veterans who were promised rewards for fighting in WW2. They don't even reflect and teach you the fact that americans, for the few years that they were in the Philippines, ACTUALLY MURDERED MORE THAN SPAIN despite the hundreds of years that Spain was there! Accountability is important. We're not going to demand that you apologize for something that you personally didn't do but your government should be held accountable and be honest on what they did.

    Of course, as an American you don't need to be ashamed at all, and i hope you stand your ground to anyone says otherwise. For me we just need to acknowledge that this happens to both our ancestors, something to learn from.
    And our ancestors and heroes do not teaches us to victimized ourselves, instead be proud of their bravery and sacrifices, "Long live Philippines, Oust Spanish" they shouted.
    Anyway, i enjoy your reactions, specially your conviction that you are not to blame, cause you're not, god bless you sir & madam.
    Note: John Harris simplified things too much, that number of things is skewed, as someone who reads a lot of history, he's off by a lot.

    You too are good. We're Filipinos. We don't have beef with anyone and we're very resilient with almost everything because of these things that happened to us. 😊

    This is growth to your channel, I like this video about the Philippines 🇵🇭 and sharing the truth. We did liberate ourselves but US occupied us.
    Any country cannot rule an unwilling nation. Yes this is documented by Philippine 🇵🇭 historians

    And what’s really bad is, its still exist today. Tolerance are just being given, but we will never know when will they execute this “idea”
    And yes, the details are all correct.
