Americans advanced the archipelago’s infrastructure, public education, and health services, vastly improving the quality of life for its occupants.

I worked with a physician several years ago who was from the Philippines. He told me "we like America and Americans. When Spain owned our country, they kept the native people down. When the Americans came in, they built schools and educated people; they built hospitals. America did a lot for my country."

He was very sincere in his statement.

I am married to a Philipina. She told me the Spanish gave the Philippines religion. The Americans gave them education.
