According to Wikipedia the Liberation of the Philippines alone cost a total of 62,514 US Army & Air Force personnel killed and wounded. This does not include US Navy casualties from the Battle of the Philippine Sea and the Battle Off Leyte Gulf, naval battles attendant to the liberation of the Philippines.

“From 1946 to 1950 the US gave over $2 billion in aid to the Philippines under Roxas and Quirino to rebuild the country. But President Truman’s fact-finding mission reported that the money is gone. And obviously it went to landowners and unscrupulous businessmen oligarchs who are now richer than ever while the majority of the people’s standard of living has not risen to anywhere near the pre-war levels.
WHO WOULD IMAGINE with all the death and destruction brought by the war (WWII) and a decimated agricultural sector, the oligarch-traitors, their relatives & cronies would take advantage of the situation and enrich themselves instead?
Fast forward to October 2011: Despite 67 years of mismanaged economy, the Word Bank provided $2 billion funding to the illegitimate oligarch-supported government of Aquino III, the grandson of an oligarch-traitor.

Excerpt: “Bienvenido Macario writes: Come to think of it, the economies of Singapore like Hong Kong are dominated by ethnic Chinese. It’s the same with the Philippines. So why do the world’s wealth and OFW’s have to go to Singapore and Hong Kong?
The only difference is that Singapore and Hong Kong were former British colonies while the Philippines is an abandoned US territory.
