WORLD MAP 1923 – The Philippines was a U.S. territory, never a U.S. colony
To put it in perspective, here’s the map of the British Empire in 1923 right after WWI and before Washington DC abandoned the Philippines at height of the Great Depression under the seemingly noble reason of “putting the Filipinos on road to independence” in 1930’s.
Notice that the U.S. mainland, Alaska, Hawaii, THE PHILIPPINES, Guam, Wake Island, are ALL colored the same shade of green.
Natives of all the lands the U.S. Government bought automatically became Native Americans.
If the Natives of the Philippines are denied Native American status, then Filipinos are not the only ones being discriminated.
Because once Filipinos are recognized as Native Americans, then NON-Native AMERICANS will have the same property rights in the Philippines as they have in the continental U.S.A., Alaska, Hawaii & the U.S. Territories.
================
Natives of the Philippines are in fact Native Americans. But so far I’m the only one and a few others believe in this. So much the better. So many more will pay rent and back rentals.
The Philippines is an abandoned U.S. territory

Below is the continuation of my comment on CFR’s post
“What is happening in the Philippines is the fault of the US Senate that ratified the 1946 Treaty of Manila that granted dependent-independence to that US territory on 22 Oct. 1946.
There was no referendum asking the Filipino people we wanted to secede from the US in 1934 when the Philippine Commonwealth was created at the height of the Great Depression or in 1946 immediately after WWII when the Philippine territory was one of the most devastated allied country of the war.
While the faulty Takata airbags were promptly recalled after eight (8) people were killed around the world, the miserably failed and so-called republic of the Philippines where tens of millions of people have been suffering for decades continue to enjoy recognition as a successful, independent and sovereign country.
History will judge us all.
It was at the height of the Great Depression that the U.S. created the Philippine Commonwealth purportedly to “prepare the Philippines for independence”, a euphemism for abandonment of its territory that turned out to be oil, gas and mineral rich.
The Philippines is an abandoned U.S. territory that was unjustly granted independence by the U.S. Senate. There was no referendum asking the Filipino people if we wanted to secede from the US and RENEGE ON OUR PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE in 1934 when the Philippine Commonwealth was created at the height of the Great Depression or in 1946 immediately after WWII when the Philippine territory was one of the most devastated allied country of the war.
THERE WAS NO DUE PROCESS!
History will judge us all.
Excerpt: “The US Senate should be held responsible for the summary executions committed by Duterte.
If killing 100,000 criminals is not enough to horrify Washington DC sophisticates, supposing Duterte starts a French Revolution style of purging the oligarchs, summarily executing the undemocratic oligarchs, their relatives, friends, cronies and politicians. Who should be held accountable?
I am 100% sure it is the US Senate that should be held responsible for failing to recall a defective treaty while allowing the US government to continue funding the tyranny of the oligarchs since 1946.
Remember the defective Takata airbags that killed only 11 people worldwide? It was recalled, affecting anywhere from 51 million to 65 million cars worldwide at a cost of over $4 billion, with Honda being the hardest hit. After an investigation, “US regulators believe the volatile chemical used in the inflators, ammonium nitrate, can cause airbags to explode with excessive force.”
Why couldn’t the US government or the US Senate investigate the World Bank that continue to knowingly waste US taxpayer money on the Philippines, refusing to see that our tax dollars are going straight to the oligarchs?”
