[It stands with the horrors of Japanese occupation during World War II as one of their great national traumas]
Yeah and who ended that occupation for them with blood and guts?

“Most Americans would have no idea what these new Filipino leaders are talking about.”
So would most Philippinos.

It’s not Obama’s fault, it’s “America’s” fault, from a hundred years ago.

Hopefully Mt Pinotaubo will blow again and bury the whole place.

Maybe MacArthur shouldn’t have returned. My dad was part of that operation.

I suspect actual Philippinos will begin to tire of this lunatic eventually.

Complete BS from these leaders in PI, what they are really mad about is we armed PI to fight communist guerillas and complicated their vision with US Bases in Luzon.
A very small portion of the population is mad at the US, these are all commies.

Perhaps the Filipinos should go back to the days when Japanese soldiers would raid their homes then take Filipino babies and toss them into the air for another Japanese soldier to ‘catch’ on a board with nails driven through it.

Are FReepers really buying the author's premise? That all of a sudden the Philippines want to assert their independence, just now? Why didn't they do this decades ago, especially in the 80s when the country was a corrupt mess?
The real story is that nobody trusts America anymore thanks to Obama, and if Clinton wins, Russia will be the lone superpower in the world. Our foreign policy and relations with other countries are a sick, pathetic joke.
I don't blame Duterte for doing what he's doing.
To: virgil
So was my Uncle Bud part of that operation...
He died at a place called ZigZag Pass trying to liberate the Phillipines from the Japanese...
Any “sins” America allegedly committed in the PI have long since been expiated in blood...
