what i dislike about this was they portrayed the rise of Philippine republic or Malolos republic like it's a magic, like we just appear and take over when in reality were still fighting but were clearing up the Philippine for smooth take over, to established a legitimate government a "REPUBLIC" ruled by Filipinos and for the Filipinos only no foreign had no rights to rule over us not anyone except us.
1914, the emergence of the Iglesia Ni Cristo and the start of World War 1.
It’s sad that most Americans don’t even know that the Philippines was in fact an Americann territory at one point and it’s sad that it’s not taught that much in school
Was taught in my school, people just don't pay attention.
Philippines is one of the most lame countries out there. hopefully the chinese will take over and uplift it.
@@JB-gf2tbuplift it to a communist shithole instead of just a regular shithole
@@JB-gf2tbhopefully your parents will discipline you and uplift your shitty attitude 😂
@@zoanth4I'm sure I've learned of this 30 years ago.
As a Filipino American born in USA, thank you for posting this history for all Americans to watch. This was not taught much in my history classes, it was glossed over. Revolutionary war, Civil war, ww2, and Vietnam war got all the coverage
Ofc why would USA teach themselves being an imperialist state. Propaganda starts in uncle sam's school.
@@gabbytayI WISH what you said is true!
Considering they left the US doesn’t that make them traitors?
@@gabbytayi think nothing will change. Many FilAms will still choose to live in the USA and uphold American ideals since the benefits there are better than the Philippines.
@@karlos_infamousif the Philippines is a British colony like Malaysia or Netherlands like Indonesia I doubt if they would go to the US.
Mcarthur's promise line when he fled "I shall return" is written in our history books
It's originally said "I will return" but the "shall" has more impact with Washington and the press.
He had orders just like the Philippine soldiers who treacherously liquidated Luna
Been waiting for this
actually the Philippine army of the 1st republic had guns given aid by america before against spain
problem is the president aguinaldo camp have internal power struggles ended gen lunas death the only general they had that can go head to head with Gen Arthur MacArthur and gen otis
better read more history books. prior to pack of biac n bato president aguinaldo acquired guns and cannons. (battle of binakayan). Aguinaldo did not order to kill gen. luna but his guards men did it because of so much anger. stop watching to much movies better read books. Aguinaldo collaboration with japs are token of appreciation for the japanese help in aguinaldo's battle against the Spanish. while gen. luna was captive in jail and screaming he was a loyal son of spain.
Even otis and mccarthure acknowledge luna skills and tactics they even celebrate after hearing Luna's death
@@user-ek6dw9io5i smh better read the books than using the movie as a reference.
read more. your statements are wrong
@@user-ek6dw9io5i true and bec of internal politics the lost the war generals oitis and aruthur macarthur gen luna was the only REAL obstacle they killed the only general they had
Wow... You've gathered much info for this. Kudos for you 👏👏👏👏👏
Hence, the Republic of the Philippines (Republika ng Pilipinas). Today, this country faces issues that's why we're not developed yet but I am manifesting for the development of this country. Might take long but we'll get there. Thank you for those people who are not involving themselves in discriminating us Filipinos. Thank you for those who are wishing to travel in the Philippines.
Agreed it's been a gradual climb but everytime I return to Cebu you can see more people are prospering it used to take us 20 min to get to my wife's family homes now because more people can afford car's the congested roads it takes us 40 min to get to upper busay also their are many more big buildings in Cebu city when years ago the only one was Marco polo building
you can bot blame the usa who held you for only 50 years when the spanish had the phillipines held you for way longer and also we saved you in ww2 and also founded your special forces… we did more good than bad. we even respected you enough to make your independence day on the 4th of july like ours was…
The Constitution of the Commonwealth of the Philippines provided for a presidential system of government with a unicameral legislature. It had the power to enact laws for the Philippines, known as Commonwealth Acts, through the National Assembly.
The U.S. government granted independence to the Philippines on July 4, 1946. In accordance with the Philippine Independence Act (more popularly known as the "Tydings-McDuffie Act"), President Harry S. Truman issued Proclamation 2695 of July 4, 1946 officially recognizing the independence of the Philippines.
Ef na ef e haha
❤❤n aw
The video was very dissatisfying but i get it it's a oversimplified, i am just underwhelmed about the Malolos republic, American content creator like this act like, they just take over in a snap of a finger, no fighting, like in his map there's federal state of visayas, he was unsuccessful by not mentioning about the revolution in the region in Zamboanga, the sieges take place and visualize how the Filipino revolutionary take over the country except manila after the defeat of Spain to US, hello Spain was having the worst time, both losing to colonial Philippines and America but of course it was more on America because they prefer to surrender to them instead of Filipinos because that would be an humiliating the most that a colonial power defeat them, which them their glory their ego can't take despite of the time.

Man the Filipino in the Philippines American war was equipped with guns bough form Hong Kong
And u said the Filipino were using bow spear well that’s kinda right u see they use bow and spear during the revolution and not the Philippines American war
Simeón Ola y Arboleda (September 2, 1865 - February 14, 1952) is a hero of the Philippine Revolution and was the last general of the Philippines to surrender to the American forces after the Philippine-American War on Sept. 25, 1903
At least two potential problems surrounded Ola as the last general to surrender to the American forces.
First, he had surrendered earlier on July 5, 1901, as an officer (major) of Vito Belarmino.
Second, his role as a zone commander is not mentioned in Miguel Malvar's statement on the condition of his command that he provided in December 1901. Nor was any documentation of his commission as general preserved. Though it was said that this was done intentionally to prevent him from being recaptured and to continue the fight using guerilla tactics
Yo, The Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944 was the largest naval battle in tonnage for sure. But a rival for largest number of participants in a single naval battle is the Battle of Ecnomus in 256BCE during the First Punic War. Anywhere up to 290,000 marines and sailors did stabby time in their fancy leather derps and shiny hats.
Nice historical coverage video about historical relationships between the USA and the Philippines ...
This is a major event that needs to be taught in American history in grade school.
Why???
Shows that the US is an empirical state
They don’t want people to know that we let a country leave 😂
It would be a hopeless task to teach this subject in grade school. The history is complicated and mired in contradictory information
@@SiPakRubah Inaccurate characterization
Wasn't Philippines already Christianized by the time USA showed up?
Yes and until now it’s still the only country in Asia where over 90% of the population is predominantly Christian Roman catholics
Not the "right" Christian denomination Spain is catholic USA was mostly protestant
thestanleys3657 and Philippines still is too
it is just a reason to suck up natural resources, this time the EU powers were into Oriental Colonies. USA had none so the sought to be one of the big boys so they invaded the Philippines
@@european-one true I didn't mean to imply otherwise. But in the past such distinction we're deemed important
They were already Christians. They were roman catholic thanks to the Spanish empire
Well some state's are muslim and the americans want to Christianize them
Catholic is not christian.they are just a religion following the catholic way.The true christians are the bible based christians who are the followers of our Lord Jesus Christ.
@@Watashinoakuma8312good all filipinos should be christian
Good video.
at 9:44, even though McArthur had personal attachment to their colony Philippines, the agreement/approval to retake Philippines is to cut the Imperial Japan of its SEA supply. the Imperial US' army & navy had on some occasion wherein they didnt meet eye-to-eye. the navy citing risk concern & of course the army could not launch an attack without air cover from the navy
Personal attachment? Maybe because of his very secret affair with a Filipina whom he brought to the US.
@@ianendangan7462 yeah u call that personal & MCArthur's reason is not the reason why everyone agreed to invade Philippines but its strategic importance for the IJ
@@leexingha
McArthur grew up in the Philippines. Remember? His dad was appointed the 1st governor. Many of the USA presidents and senators were already governors and representative of the islands before they became president of the USA. Roosevelt was just a secretary of McArthur. Find that clip.😢
@@suskagusip1036 doesnt matter because its not McArthur who gets to decide solely. i guess ur from PH due to lack of intelligence
After ww1 amd the abandonment of the the anglo japanese alliance, pulling out of the Phillipines would allowed the japanese to fill the vacuum, something they attempted in world war 2
Japan occupied the Philippines as it will cause them trouble when the US imposed oil embargo and the Japanese had their sights in the oil fields of Dutch East Indies today's Indonesia. They also attacked Malay Peninsula aka British and French Indochina aka today Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia.
Fellow Filipino here, hope y'all continue this until the modern days
Until ya say? Hoist the watawat ng gera mga kabayan! Reform the 1872 sea boundaries!
Good video, but why did you not mention the actions of the Unites States Forced in the Philippines (USFIP) under Colonel (self-promoted to Brigadier General) Wendell Fertig? A huge part of the reason the Japanese were never able to completely subdue Mindanao was because of the leadership of Col Fertig and his forces.
Weren’t they already Christian’s under Spain? I lived there 5 yrs as a kid and noticed they were Catholics like Spain 🇪🇸 not Protestant like most of America 🇺🇸 😊
Maybe it was intended as a slap in the face to Spain, since the U.S. had just finished fighting them. As in, they had hundreds of years to Christianize The Philippines and failed.
@@OhioDanWdym by "failed" most filipinos here are devoted Catholics like a hispanic
Not only Roman Catholic, also Eastern Orthodox Christians!
I'm saying it's possible the U.S. was rubbing salt in the wound after defeating Spain, not that Spain actually failed to spread Christianity.
@Knowledgia Don't deliberately skew the timeline of events and downplay the audience, whether to create the Filipinos as innocent or a true victim, the presentation stands without any context or written account or a month by month timeline.
3:44 - 4:00
The Treaty of Paris (1898) officially ended the period of Spanish colonization in the Philippines and granted possession of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the United States. It also required that the United States pay $20 million USD in recompense to the Spanish government.
TThe 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
President McKinley's statement of benevolent assimilation became his justification for the annexation of Philippines. McKinley cites the intentions of the United States not as a conqueror but one that will help uplift the Filipino peoples.
I don't think so. Americans looked down on Filipinos the same way Mexicans (during the galleon trade) /Spaniards looked down on us before.
In short the bet ray Aguinaldo by hoping them a recognition of their fought hard independence and granted them full autonomy of their country WITH their own established government.
Were very overshadowed of our effort of liberation thinking it's all American who did when it fact it's already happening since 1896.
@@ianendangan7462just like how Britain looked down on americans
A lot of commenters are simping for American Imperialism as if the Filipinos weren't already civilized before the Americans took over. The rights of the Filipinos were disrespected and culture erased. This wasn't a "Benevolent Assimilation" it was coerced under duress. Their native language was suppressed and labor exploitation was rampant in the colony. No one should ever be grateful for being colonized. Nations could thrive without foreign takeover.

I can't believe we are now in the 5th Philippine Republic.
*1st Republic (1899 - following the 1896 Revolution and Independence from Spain)
*Commonwealth of the Philippines (1935 During American Colonization)
*2nd Republic (1942 - aka Japanese Sponsored Republic / Puppet Republic- WWII)
*3rd Republic (1946 - Philippine Independence from USA)
*4th Republic (1981 following Martial Declaration in 1972)
*5th Republic (1986 following the People Power Revolution and ouster of the Marcos Dictatorship)
We are now in the 19th Congress of the Philippines
Yet, we are still going to see real reform and development for this god forsaken country.
What do you expect a country born in one day??
There are 100 million filipinos now...
Big change is not made when you make whimsical promise and action after two seconds
Try making a promise of a simple sandwich to ten people how long it takes to make a difference...

Today I can assure you one person in your own house differs his/her idealogy to yours on various matters and you have no way of changing their minds..... And how will you impose that to 100 million filipinos?????????
Are you a god to demand a perfect society in a silver platter within a fingersnap??
Go back to your lucid dreams amigo.
Only slowly progressive adequate reforms or radical revolutions will transform the Philippines
What is it with Americans surnamed MacArthur and the Philippines?! Anyhow, the influence of US culture is hard to over emphasise. I recall that until Mt Pinatubo ate it in 1991, the US Clark Air Force Base's presence was such that, like Okinawa in Japan, US cultural rub off was notable. You listen to any local Filipino speak English and the American influence is stark. Cool docco guys. I'm surprised to read in the comments that US Filipinos note that it's not discussed in schools etc.
Arthur MacArthur was Douglas MacArthurs dad. They both held office in the Filipino commonwealth as military governors from what I recall. I guess the Philippines rubbed off on them
@@Endwankery
I shall return. You heard that promise? McArthur grew up there and his dad was the first governor. He was then hired by the Philippine to to become a military advisor in the islands. You people don't know nothing. I have families in both countries both working civilians and military. My late grandfather farm was once used as an Airforce runway of the USA. It was returned to us after WW II. Now the AFP wants to buy it again in preparation of the Chinese ambition like Japan. Don't assume, ask them folks in the islands.

Why can't I watch the Jacobite rising, this video is now for sponsors. You said that sponsors get access to videos before everyone else, but you didn’t say that some videos are exclusively now only for sponsors!😔😭
I observe something wrong in the part of the Philippines-American War, according to the Generals like Artemio Ricarte that the Philippines Revolutionary Army have guns most are Spanish Mausers and they even was able to buy guns in Hong kong. The problem with First Republic is that it has a standard army, the problem are supplies and strategy. They cannot fight the United States head on that is why it was recommended by Heneral Luna before that they shift to Guerilla Warfare the one that opposed it? It was Mabini who was obssessed with the notion that a Nation should have a standing army. That lead to countless disaster however.
Yeah they have the weapons and supplies but the Army overall was undertrained and undisciplined.
Its a shame he didnt add some battles that occurs and the brutality of the war
Aguinaldo didnt declare war on june it was on the 4th of february when the american had the first shot
The first republic did had a good general during the war
General Antonio luna though he was killed by aguinaldo's men

The film "Oppenheimer" was recently released in Japan. Many Japanese didn’t like it. Videos are all over TikTok. In response, some, particularly Americans and Westerners, argue that Japan is the villain in World War II, citing atrocities they committed. (Ever heard of Unit 731? Rape of Nanjing?)
Ok. I think it is crucial, first and foremost, for Japan to fully acknowledge the wartime atrocities it committed, atrocities that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions, including an estimated 500,000 Filipinos. Such acknowledgment is a step toward healing wounds and could foster a more peaceful and united Asian community.
However, I think it is also important for us to understand the historical roots of Japan's transformation into an empire so that we can avoid these kinds of things from happening again.
📌 For centuries, Japan isolated itself from the rest of the world. This ended in 1853 when the United States FORCED Japan to open up because the country was expanding westward and Japan appeared as a good stopover point for American ships to refuel with coal. They also saw Japan as a potential market for American goods.
(Basahin n'yo "Perry Expedition to Japan". U.S. used gunboat diplomacy to force Japan to end their isolation. Kumbaga, parang tinutukan ng baril sa ulo to coerce them na buksan 'yung bansa nila for trade.)
📌 As a result, U.S. forced Japan into signing a series of UNFAIR treaties that gave Western powers privileges like access to their ports and extraterritorial status for Western citizens (exempting them from Japanese laws), and other trade concessions.
📌 These impositions were deeply humiliating for Japan, a nation that prided itself on its culture and history. Japan felt inferior to Western powers.
📌 This led to the Meiji Restoration where Japan strived to modernize and strengthen itself to prevent Western domination. So the country expanded its military and adopted Western technologies, political structures, and even elements of Western dress and culture.
📌 Observing Western powers dividing Asia into colonies for resources and markets, some Japanese leaders saw EMULATION of these powers as a path to becoming a major world power themselves.
I’m just sayin’… understanding history reveals who is the true villain in our neighborhood.

Aqours Japanese Soldiers in Occupation of D4DJ Groovy Mix in Philippines?
This is not taught neither in US classrooms nor Filipino classrooms - There is only one person who reached the rank of 5-star general (AKA Field Marshall) ranking in Philippine Army, and take note he is not a Filipino. That person is Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who is also a 5-star general in US Army. It only shows how Filipinos love MacArthur as he did not abandon the Philippines after his retreat during World War II, even in the middle of the war, he lobbied for the liberation of the Philippines in a contrary of suggestion of Admiral Nimitz to attack Formosa (Taiwan).
It wasnt Hlasey who fought off the Japanese Center Force. He had fallen for their trcik and was chasing the carriers in the Northern decoy force. It was the individual ship commanders who acted on their own to fight off the IJN Center force. Then the US Battleships set a trap for the IJN Soutehrn force and destroyed them in Surigao straight.
Mentioning McKinley wanted to Christianize the Philippines without mentioning it was majority Catholic for centuries before that leaves out some important context

School Idol Tomodachi Occupation of Philippines in WWII?
1. Philippines didn't need to be civilized or christianized. The Spanish colonial government did that beforehand with great success.
2. US government established a legal system based on the American system, i.e. adversarial rather than inquisitorial, and stare decisis for legal jurisprudence, though limitations were evident. We still continue to use Civil Law than Common Law. There were no jury system earnestly established as held US v Dorr, 2 Phil 269, and citing Downes v Bidwell, 182 US 244.
3. Philippines wasn't put on 'a type of territorial government' which denotes that US had never intended to make the Islands a territory, creating a benevolent Federal government. The 1898 Treaty of Paris and the promulgation of Philippine Organic Act expressly state that the Islands are US territory. Never was it mentioned of a gradual independent Philippines. If independence for the Islands were the intent, the wording of the those legal document earlier mentioned would have been similar to that of Cuba. It was only the growing unpopularity of the Occupation by the Americans such as Teddy Roosevelt and Mark Twain, and our Philippine Resident Commissioners to the US Congress did we successfully convince an independent Philippines.
4. The Philippine Commonwealth Army was not just integrated. It was FEDERALIZED by FD Roosevelt in preparation for a war with Japan.
ADDENDUM
It is fit for US to atleast recognized Filipinos serving in the then Philippine Commonwealth Army, then a FEDERALIZED militia, not just those serving in the Philippine Scouts, what they duly deserve. They have fought bravely and with distinction.
Right on. A lot of Filipinos and fellow Americans too believed the myth that we came to liberate the natives from
Spain. What bunk. We were there to take over all the Spanish territories in Caribbean and the Pacific. We should not have granted the Philippines independence and kept it to be a future state. China would never had been a rival like it is now. Nor would they have fallen to communism. But no, the Philippines was devastated second only to Poland in destruction after WW2. So the politicians treated our former territory like a war burden ignoring the thousands of US Army national guardsmen who fought and died there. Also blind siding the statehood movement getting traction by Filipinos.
1. This is ensured with a heavy burden for native officials and their dependencies
On the addendum, the Commonwealth President Quezon had tasked Doug McArthur to form a territorial militia to assist the stationed Philippine regular Army. This difficult task was delegated by McArthur to Brigadier General George Ike Eisenhower
First
This is one instance I can agree with the Philippines 🇵🇭. Although being Chinese American, it’s a betrayal of the Americans against the Philippines since they taught the Usa would give them independence as a separate nation.
Second
I just want to make some corrections and add some facts to your video:
1. The Philippines was only ever a republic once after the US granted it independence in 1946. Aguinoldo's faction declared the Philippines free in 1899 but no legitimate power recognized it. But plenty of important powers recognized America's right to rule the region.
2. The Filipino insurgents were not united during their rebellion against the US and a huge factor for the US being able to insert control. There were several competing insurgent factions and none of them wanted to share power with one another.
3. Aguinoldo was a brutal warlord who tyrannized his own people to the point that they betrayed him to the US. He in turn, switched sides and aligned himself with the US as an informant because if he "could not rule the Philippines" then none of his fellow Filipino rivals could.
4. Filipino insurgents did as much scorch earth tactics as the Americans did which resulted to thousands of civilians dying too.
You are on point. The mother narrative about “Philippine History” is to create unifying myth. The Tagalog rebels against Spain composed of 8 Tagalog provinces did not overthrow Spain. There was no surrender of sovereign power to any “Filipino Republic” by Spain. The Tagalog rebellion declaring independence from Spain was not recognized because they have no effective control of the Philippines. Spain did and sold it to the US. The non Tagalog people of other islands have no desire to rebel against Spain but eventually did because of the power vacuum which ensued when Spain lost to the US and to keep the collected taxes from getting into the hands of the Tagalog rebels in need of finances.
Aguinaldo had the chance to deliver the pre-emptive strike by invading Intramuros (Manila) while the Americans were still waiting for reinforcements, but his indecisiveness and miscalculations gave US enough time to muster its forces.
It would have been a blood bath. Spain would have fought to the death. It was not indecision. The Tagalog rebels were weak and could not take intramuros on their own and needed the Americans for support when the Spanish got blockaded from the sea by them.
Be teachable. You’re not always right.

If only Filipinos think like the Japanese , former mortal enemies and nuked twice by US military, yet the BEST US ALLY in the whole world! Abandoned its imperialistic stance, no territories, friendly economic competition, outsourced its massive automobile industry in USA, Canada and other countries including the Philippines providing employment to those countries, and no debt traps! Japan is both an economic ally and military ally- unlike PRC government both an economic FOE and military FOE!
Interesting that the date is 4th of July
The Independence Day is actually celebrated on the 12 of June
The day Filipinos liberated their country from spain
@@CCrux-ytHow?
@@CCrux-ytthat was an executive order by President Macapagal in 1964. Prior to that it was July 4, 1946 from the USA. Anybody can declare independence but that does not make it real when the supposed independence from Spain was not recognized nor did it cover the entire Philippines. Only the rebelling Tagalog provinces. The Philippines that you inherited was not born from “revolution” but by being granted by the USA.

The American Empire needs to grant independence to Guam and Puerto Rico just like the American Empire granted independence to the Philippines back in 1946ce.
Puerto Rico and Guam continue to state their desire for retainment and even statehood for Puerto Rico.
Yeah that will never happen.
Guam is a strategic location for the US Military
why would they do that? puerto rico voted to stay in the union dummy 97% voted in favor of staying
There is no American empire. The US has never been an empire.
America isn't an empire. It never has been.
The Cordilleran Mountain Ranges was not a part of the First Philippine Republic.
Many Filipinos want to become Americans. Just look at the continuous population growth of Filipino Americans and constant migration of Filipinos towards the US. Many Filipinos really view the USA as a means for a better life and an escape from poverty. Many view that USA is the best country in the world 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's because they have relatives already in the US if they apply for immigration visa. If work visa it's just simply work.
@@ianendangan7462 i think that is partly the reason. But what about the underlying reason why their relatives are there in the first place?
I have encountered many FilAms who would comment on their family members in the Philippines and would tell them “Come with us here in America, life is so much better here, more opportunities, very progressive and more money”
I believe many Filipino really see America as the best country in the world
Yeah, who doesn't love being colonized by the "best country in the world." The same colonialist clowns that claim to act in the name of Christianity and freedom. The hypocrisy!
My friend is Filipino and he hates the US for colonising the country when we were independent
@@ianendangan7462the reason they have relatives is because American soldiers go there to train and have children with some Filipinos and leave

No one asked woke
They were already Christians. Americans used protestantism to places where catholics are not established like in the Cordilleras, a place Spain influence is strongly resisted. Compared to catholism which is very strict in practicing their beliefs, protestants allow the natives to continue practice their culture and their way of life that's why it is accepted and gradually became Christians as well
The title should've been the Philippines under the American Empire.
There was nothing of interest in the Philippines resource wise, the main objective of the US was to use the Philippines strategic location as a stepping stone to access the Chinese and far eastern markets and sell US products and services in competion with the British, French and Japanese.
Filipinos is way more Christian than the Americans and infact the Filipino's already has a basic ducation and universities introduced by the Spanish.
University of Santo Tomas was built in the 17th century. Many of our churches, schools were built in the 16th centuries.
And there are other numbers that say that more than 2 million Filipinos died during the American occupation, the saddest thing is that after that genocide the Japanese committed another genocide, the Filipinos suffered two genocides in the 20th century😢
Pretty much if the high estimates was the actual case. Two million fatalities would have meant more than 25% of the population of the country during the time period of the American "pacification."
@@EarthForces Yes, during a period of 46 years it was enough for them to carry out their atrocities, of course they did not kill that amount during the war, but they did during the "pacification"

Filipinos love USA so much their ancestors would have made more sense if they didn't demand independence from USA after WW2
Filipinos: "You have freed us"
American: "Oh I wouldn't say "freed". More like "under new management""
bro america was way better to us than the japanese and spanish. they literally gave us independence and even fought and died for our freedom away from the stupid japs.
Because that is what America has done since becoming a nation, they have taken or destroyed other peoples land.

Not sure why you tried so hard to use the word Concentration Camp when that's what was used. Camps to collect civilians with the idea of segregating them is what a concentration camp is
The repercussions of America's invasion are actually still felt today in my country. Take our language, for example. All over the world, we are known for "Tagalog," and yet locally we actually speak a variety of languages and many don't use Tagalog at all in daily conversation. The aggressive push for Tagalog to become our national language at the expense of all others has created a feeling of cultural inferiority in the margins, and largely aided in the election of authoritarians such as Duterte.
Our national unity is also more fragile than the world thinks. Although considered fringe movements, many have attempted to turn the country into a federal republic and there are also political movements calling for a secession of Mindanao. All this is because "the Philippines" as a country was never organically created, but the result of aggressive attempts at "civilizing" people who had their own ways of governing themselves.
Then there's the collective insecurity we feel toward other countries. When white people see Filipinos, they see smiles and laughter. But in reality, Filipinos also feel very intimidated and pressured to speak perfect English. When we work with foreign clients, we always complain to ourselves about how we've "lost all our English" (naubusan ng English) after a conversation. We stress ourselves out just trying to have a conversation with people who only ever see us on the surface.
We're also really touchy about international criticism towards our country; if a foreigner complains of long lines and posts it on TikTok, prepare to get canceled by legions of Filipinos. In fact, you can see this insecurity even in your video right now. Just look at all the comments saying "Long live the Philippines" or "Pinoy here." I'm not accusing you of Pinoy-baiting of course; just letting you know that Filipinos WILL flock to you the moment you talk about them. It's that simple.
Douglas MacArthur is the most underrated commander. Imperial Regent of Japan, Savior at Inchon, liberator of the Phillipines, the red terror's greatest fear, America's Caesar.
McArthur was infamous because he is a very bad general. compared to other generals in other army branch, he failed miserably to defend their colony, Philippines, from the Imperial Japan's invasion despite total awareness. this underestimation is similar to how GB lost Wales & Repulse. his bad reputation had eventually resulted of his removal
"liberator of the Phillipines" - i do not know wat kind of romanticized history book u had read but the retake of the Philippines are joint effort of both the army & the navy
"Savior at Inchon" - even though Operation Chromite was a big flawless success, McArthur failed to take the whole Korea despite huge disparity on military might. this has agreed on a stalemate instead. during this time, Korean war, McArthur got dismissed
dude have you not heard of the philipine disaster caused by macarthur?
@@leexinghaStill it didn't stop him from getting the "General of the Army" rank (5 star general officer), which was considered rare and one of the highest achievement a guy can get in the US army to this day

This video is proof that America indeed is an empire.
idk how you can use words like "is" when talking about history that ended almost 100 years ago
@@andrewprindiville119If you have holdings an ocean away, you certainly are a modern day empire. Another example is France, french imperialism never ended, with territories all over the world.
During that time occupation as an empire is the name of the game same European countries what they did to South Asia, Africa, South america .
good thing that we are not part of the united states nowadays... or else we will lose our identity like what happened to guam and hawaii ...
we are filipino... only 🇵🇭 ... mabuhay ang pilipinas...
for me thanks for the spanish empire because we became one country before american arrived in the country so we are already established country during spanish rule...
when american arrived, our country involved more in trouble and war... until japanese arrived... because japanese that time had misunderstanding with the americans.. that is why we became victim of their troubles... 😢
"[...] which ended the american colonial period"
It's ongoing.
With multiple interruptions. From 1943 to 45 as a sovereign republic under Japanese protection, 1981 to 86 after Marcos went his own way, and 2016 to 22 under Duterte's assertive presidency.

you forgot to mention that the battle of manila was one of the most destructive battles in during WW2, the destruction of manila was worst than nagasaki, hiroshima, and nanjing.
and that the americans chose to give us independence right after the war to avoid helping in the reconstruction, which amounted to around 40-50B dollars post-war period, despite the lives filipinos bled for the american cause.
additionally, the wide spread destruction of manila during that time haunts the filipinos up to this point because of the herculean task of "urban planning" and building back a mess of city while at the same time accepting in waves and waves of filipinos from the provinces desperate for livelihood... a mess that continues to this day.
Just wanna let ya know, that after granting independence the US gave the Philippine Government $1.9 billion, and around 1950 Japan gave the Philippines $550 Million, and in 1953 the US gave the Philippines $803 Million.
That doesn't include the financial aid the US Marshall Plan provided to the Philippines (if you need full details or records of all aid the Philippines got kindly ask the US Department of Treasury) and other war-torn countries of WW2 that includes Japan. To this day the US is assisting and providing the Philippines with financial aid, the latest I can find was the inclusion of the Philippines in the $8.1 Billion emergency aid package, $800 Million will be allocated to the Philippines.
It's easy to Google some of what you claimed, I dunno where you found that info but there's no record of it on both the Philippines and US records especially the $50 Billion cost of damges to Manila all I can find is the records of the Philippine War Damages Commision that estimated the damage is $620 Million and thats for the whole Philippines according to that department. So if you can find the website or your source for the $50 Billion welp kindly provide it coz I'm curious to know about it, the only fact you said that is backed with archive data and in the history books is the destruction of Manila. Also the Independence Day was already planned before the war and in the video it was mentioned that 1946 was the planned Independence Day, you can also look it up on Google. So kindly fact-check first before posting and pay attention to what you are watching before making outrageous comments.
@@wolf.04210 , all the financial aid the US has been giving since independence has historically, been given with strings attached, unequal trade rights such as the bell trade act, the use of various military bases, extraction of natural resources, and other unwritten privileges that US govt and corporation enjoy in the philippines, as its neo colony.
the official announcements of time table for independence has been moved and moved, de facto ignored, with skirted around, or used as bargaining chip with the philippines, too long to discuss here.
Not everything can be googled since these are from academic or hard to find archived sources, Im no mood to argue in long form over a YT comment section. Bye.
@@pjc_deleon7290do not tell him about the fact that Americans essentially treated the Philippines post-independence like a 19th century protectorate with unequal treaties attached to their "aid." These types will make half-truths to make the US look good on actual instances when it is not.
1899-1946? Up till now, it's still American Philippines🤣
Who's gonna tell him.

@@Julius-kq6fl Nobody needs to tell me anything. It's a fact that the Philippine Republic is just a US puppet state. The Philippine Republic isn't capable of defending itself without help from their daddy USA.

Talk about a nation with identity issues. Dang, Spain and America did so much harm there. Glad they're independent and can choose what they want to do.
Independent now yes, but a lot of Filipinos are extremely gullible to fake news on social media, and 31 million voters have been bamboozled into voting for a thief. The country is in a pathetic state lol
Don’t forget about the Japanese!
It really is a rampant problem within the Philippines. One reason as to why the Rizal Law was passed because Filipinos at the time of its passing have experienced so much foreign culture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, namely the Spanish, American, and for a bit, the Japanese cultures. As such it needed something that highlights what being a Filipino is.
And the British, occupied Manila for 4 years and other surrounding cities during the seven-year war with Spain.
No, they did not. On the contrary. They would not be one country were it not for Spain. The Filipino would not even have existed.
America abolished Japanese Feudalism, Japan becomes a first-world nation.
America failed to abolish Filipino Feudalism, the Philippines becomes a third-world banana republic. America may have been tricked by Filipino Feudal Lords into not abolishing Filipino Feudalism.
