Military officers from the US, Philippines, Asutralia and others stand at attention during the entrance of the colors to signal the opening ceremony for the joint US-Philippines military exercise dubbed Balikatan 2014 on May 5, 2014 at the Armed Forces of the Philippines headquarters in Quezon City. More than 5,000 U.S. and Filipino troops have begun two weeks of military exercises to flex their muscle in jointly dealing with potential crisis in the Philippines, which is prone to natural disasters and has been locked in a dangerous standoff with China over a disputed shoal. This year's war games focuses on maritime security.

Interesting to note that Pakistan, which has received far more US aid than any of the other nations on the list, is the only anti-US nation in the list. Leave it to the US State Department to spend our tax dollars wisely.

Not really surprising as the Philippines have the most contact with Americans.

An older filipino friend I met abroad told me, “I learned all the state capitals. I learned the pledge of allegiance. I can’t convince myself that I’m not an American”.

I suspect if the US was included (yes, I know we’re not in Asia) we’d end up somewhere behind Japan. Who we nuked. Twice.

The USA and the Philippines have been through a lot of stuff together,
