A priceless record of our nation's history. Thank you for preserving this, British Pathé!
That we have forgotten as we moved the date from July 4 to June 12, hence most Filipinos have forgotten that the last colonizers of the Philippines was the US not the Spanish.
Thanks for the Video...they missed telling us in History class this very Important milestone of our history.
Its kinda significant and ironic that MacArthur attended the ceremony, because his father, Arthur MacArthur Jr, was the general who led the conquest of the Philippines during the Philippine-American War. Douglas fought to defend the Philippines and give it its independence from both the Japanese and the Americans, while his father conquered the Philippines and claimed it as a colony for the US. A son correcting the faults of his father and redeeming America
The fact
Nakalaya nga ang mga Pinoy, inaalipin naman ng mga kapwa Pinoy na corrupt.
I wonder who would have claimed the Philippines from Spain if the US hadn't
@@jyy9624 the closest candidates were Japan and Germany
@@jyy9624 either Germany or Japan. There's also the possibility of France and maybe even the British and Dutch
Imagine being one of the thousands of Filipino soldiers who fought in WW2, watching among the crowds and standing up as the Philippine National Anthem was sung... I doubt that no tears will be shed...
Not just fought in ww2. But being in the commonwealth army, surviving Camp O’Donnel, becoming a guerrilla, and liberating with the US. And then seeing this.
Thank you for uploading this :)
for those who commented or about to comment that this inauguration sparks the beginning of corruption in the philippines, u put more emphasis on "the philippines being a corrupt country" rather than witnessing and appreciating of the inauguration of philippine independence in 1946 in this video reel.
Ummm because corruption is a huge problem!
@@cashewnuttel9054 Yeah but so is every other country, including the US with both Republicans and Democrats being guilty of this. Just because a government is corrupt, doesn't mean we have to give up our independence
@@TheKnowledgeMan101 Ma'am, 2 wrongs don't make a right. It doesn't mean that just because others are corrupt that makes it okay. That is such a 12 yr. old logic right there. And obviously there will always be corruption in every country.
And why always compare yourselves to the USA? Why does it always have to be the USA? Why not Norway, Denmark or Canada? Countries that have proven to be the best and the cleanest?
@@cashewnuttel9054 Yeah, but just because we are imperfect and not as developed as the other Western countries, that does not mean that we have to submit ourselves to their rule, the west is not ruled by gods but by men, and if they can make themselves rich and developed, then we can too
@@TheKnowledgeMan101 And also, yes, you should give up your independence and let competent countries run you.
Corruption brings about huge problems, and one of the biggest problems is that it's not just you, the corrupt country, that gets affected, but a lot of countries as well.
How many hundreds of millions of dollars in aid have you received per year? And does this money actually go to the development of your country? Or does it go to the pockets of your corrupt officials?
And how many more years and decades do you need to keep receiving aid before your country becomes stabilized?
That money could otherwise be used by the people of those countries who give aid. Even though Canada, Denmark, and Norway are rich, they also have poor people, they also have starving people, they also have people that could otherwise use that money.
It is so selfish of third world countries to continue to hold on to their failing sovereignty, rather than let competent nations fix them and actually ease their problems.
Years before I was born... thank you for this video, I was able to witness the Philippine Independence...
Independence day should be celebrated in July 4th instead of June 12 for it's really the time when we became fully independent.
It is sad that Quezon did not see its independence.
The one thing noticeable in this footage is the lack of sound as soon as President Manuel A. Roxas stood to deliver his inaugural speech. Maybe it is because this was an American media coverage in 1946 and they felt that the only important portions relevant to American audiences are those of High Commissioner Paul MacNutt and General Douglas MacArthur.
This isn't American it's British
I’m biased as hell. And love the idea of an independent Philippines. But we would have been so much better if we just stayed a commonwealth…
Nah we just screwed it up. We were one of the most developed nations in Asia till we thought the Edsa revolution would free us from corruption. Instead we replaced corruption and abuse with more corruption and abuse 😅 And instead of having just one person to hate, we ended up with too many to hate that it's equally divided enough for us not to focus on a particular individual.
Actually, it's possible. What the Yankees only need to do is delay the handover ceremony of our independence and use the Hukbalahap rebellion as a justification for overstaying in our country.
Another idea is we would be permanently a Commonwealth under a "one country, two systems" between China and HK (except it's between us and America). We're in charge of internal affairs (domestic, social, economic, etc.) while Uncle Same is in charge of defense and foreign policy (the same way China-PLA had a garrison in HK).
Advantages:
1. We would become de facto a parliamentary state instead of a presidential republic. Due to distrust of US to our pro-independence politicians and to ensure an American-friendly government, our president would be indirectly elected the same way HK elects it's chief executive under Beijing's supervision. And honestly indirect elections are appropriate in our country. We elected an actor (Erap) and almost elected another one (FPJ) in power, celebrities like religious fanatic Eddie Villanueva and boxer Manny Pacquiao also run for positions like the presidency or in the Congress. Asia is notoriously known for corruption but our neighbors are able to elect the right leaders because of the parliamentary or quasi-parliamentary nature of their governments the likes of Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew, Malaysia's Mahathir Mohamad (1980s), Thailand's Prem Tinsulanonda, Cambodia's Hun Sen, Japanese prime ministers, HK chief executives, China and Vietnam's Deng Xiaoping and Nguyen Van Linh (reformers, Communist states are basically parliamentary but without opposition parties and with much more complex hierarchy), etc.
2. Filipino nationalism wouldn't be encouraged so we wouldn't have a foreign company ownership restriction in our constitution (it would be called "basic law") and there would be no Filipino First policy, this could speed up our progress and development.
3. There's a chance that we revert back to electing our upper house (senators) via districts the same way US do to it's 2 senators that represent each state.
4. US bases would stay forever. This is necessary if we don't want to lose territories to China. Back when the Yankees were in Subic and Clark, Chinese Coast Guard never harassed a single of our fishermen with watercannons.
You wanted to stay a colony
@@TimeMakerDotPHyou are right my friend
Hindsight being 20/20. The Philippines would just be another tax burden. The U.S. couldn't afford.
You posted a half silent video?
it must be at quirino granstand
This end Avatar Korra Americans of Cartoons from Anime of Philippines Independence Day on 1946.

Mac Arthur was full of it. Filipino guerrillas did most of the fighting in the Philippines.
Are you high?
Uh…. Filipinos were loyal to America, that’s why.
If it wasn't for MacArthur, the Philippines wouldn't have been liberated from Japan. The guerillas couldn't have liberated the Philippines by themselves.
While MacArthur isn't perfect, I'm grateful for him, because he was the only major general among President Roosevelt's staff for the US armed forces who advocated for a return to the Philippines, while the rest of the Cabinet especially Admiral Chester Nimitz and the Joint Chiefs advocated for bypassing the Philippines in favour of an invasion of Taiwan, so yeah, be grateful that MacArthur convinced Roosevelt to liberate the Philippines over Taiwan
Some people prefer to say the most random sh*t instead of learning history
For me
"I pledge to you here and now that the torch of liberty you lighted 48 years ago will not go out during our time. I pledge my own efforts to hold that flaming brand aloft with every fibre of my being. The proud banner of liberty you unfurled here will fly proudly over your children and those who come after them. We will maintain our freedom we will maintain our national honor, we will maintain the institutions of democracy and our faith in God and in human dignity with the same perseverance and sacrifice that you showed and offered so many years ago.
We do not fear any nation. We do no suspect any people of having designs against us. We ask for assistance, from friends who are in a position to give assistance. I do not look for evil purpose in the offer of assistance. But we will resist, even as you resisted, with our lives and our treasures any assault against our institutions and our national independence.
In the name of the cause for which your comrades died and struggled, we pledge ourselves on this sacred soil, enriched now by the blood of two generations of soldiers of liberty, to carry on this noble work, so nobly begun."
If the Philippines does not become independent, will it join the America as the 51st state of America?
Nah, just overseas territory like Puerto Rico, Guam, etc.

What a load of crap he said about their conquest of the Philippines.
Spain granted to become The Philippines as a fully independent nation in 1898 but a war between Spain and the US came and America colonized for the next 48 years.
source?
Actually España had sold Pilipinas to U.s.a. Lol xd

What if until these days we are still an american colony, do our country prosper or much worst than we're experiencing right now.
Then america could use us as a PAWN whenever they want to.while mainlanders sitting pretty watching us on the TV being destroyed.
Sorry, the Philippines became independent in 1899, that's what a friend said
this was during 1946 when philippines wanted independence from the americans
No. No.
That's there Independence Day. Because they were officially given independence in 1946 on July 4th. 1899 was from the spanish american war.
Were america took over the Philippines and promised too just be preparing them for democracy. This was a unlikely likely excuse so the Americna-Philippines war happened. The rebels weren't going to be colonized, although they lost and kind of were. I say kind of because Americas actions were ultimately kind of were. Some tried to look into selling Manilia for greenland which was a big thing america wanted for a long time, but the senator was shamed for this, because Americans were kind of anti colonialism. Actually during the Suez crisis they worked with the Soviets against the French and British because of the colonialism. That's the 50s though.
Anyways 1936 comes around Philippines mostly already democratic, they have there own Congress and every, well even thing besides a president, America has the Philippines elect one. And given a independence date or well full independence date since they were more like a protectorate. This was to be 1944 aka 2 presidential terms, the first president or equivalent of country often historically can be a dictator so the idea was monitor this and a preciedentnt will be set.
WW2 Philippines wasn't liberated till 1945, with the war going on still it wasn't immediately given independence and America waited till july 4th 1946 to give independence. For the laughs idk.
Oh and forgot to mention this
Mind you in 1900 the Philippines weren't/arent still one people, the rebels were disunited and infighting occurred. The Philippines would have balkanized if left alone in 1900. A gentler approach was likely possible but I think America did remarkable well....l
Manuel Roxas was a collaborator for the Japanese during the Japanese occupation. But he was absolved from the treason case by Douglas McArthur. Actually, Roxas was supposed to face the treason charge in People's Court, but he was chosen by McArthur to run for candidacy of forthcoming 3rd Philippine Republic because then Philippine Commonwealth President Osmena was in conflict with McArthur regarding the collaboration issue. Because of the infiltration of communism in the Philippines at that time, the collaboration issue in the Philippines was intentionally phased out so that the social division among the local elites, resistors and collaborators, could be appeased. The Philippine independence was subtly manipulated for the American reoccupation, not a real independence for the Filipino masses!
