The US has done far more for the Philipines and Filipinos than the other way around.

Including giving them military helicopters and intelligence fighting their Muslim insurgents/terrorist.

Kicking the US out of Subic Bay was not only a slap in the face to the US but strategically stupid for them.

Sorry your just misinformed. We are working with the Philippinos in fighting the Jihadists, we are not fighting by ourselves over there.

And any people that risks their lives and died trying to help our soldiers while our soldiers were being tortured and killed by the Japanese is worthy of our respect and should not be forgotten. We had been asked to leave by a left leaning government in the 1990's and political climates change.

And lets not forget that the U.S. supported Marcos who abused his own people and milked that country of money during his rule. Which precipitated a backlash in the 90's.

We cannot ever support dictators, in the long term we will suffer some way for it.
