Introduction:
The Philippines was a colony of Spain but never a colony of the USA. It is a US territory like Puerto Rico and Guam. All three became U.S. possessions after they were ceded or sold by Spain for $20 million under the 1898 Treaty of Paris that ended the 1898 Spanish-American War. American educators, historians and authors who believe the Philippines is a colony of the USA are confused individuals who think they are British! Because it was the British Empire that had colonies all over the world. In fact, the USA started from 13 British colonies. Other U.S. possessions up until 1946 were Alaska Territory and Hawaiian Islands.
Filipinos became U.S. Nationals when the USA took over the Philippines.
Our parents and grandparents were never asked if we wanted to secede from the USA and become independent after WWII.

During WWII, Japan’s time table to conquer the Philippines was no later than Jan. 22, 1942.
On Jan. 23, 1942, Lt. General Masaharu Homma, the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Forces in the Philippines (front-center) issued Order No.1 creating the Philippine Executive Commission (PEC). Manila Mayor Jorge B. Vargas (right) was appointed chairman of the PEC and was directed to coordinate the government bodies including the judicial courts based on what existed before the war but with the final approval of the Commander-in-Chief, Gen. Homma.
While Japanese occupation of the Philippines started on Jan. 23, 1942 under Gen. Homma, Filipino (U.S. nationals) ** and American troops continued to fight on in Bataan until Apr. 9, 1942 and on Corregidor until May 6, 1942.
Therefore, Filipino and American troops were fighting to buy precious time for Allied forces in Australia then a British Commonwealth.
Therefore, Filipino and U.S. troops were fighting MORE for HM King George VI and the British Empire than the USA and the Philippines, a U.S. Commonwealth at that time.
This is why I am urging you all, AS A FORM OF PROTEST, TO SEEK dual nationality, the U.K. and the U.S.A.
Through a Royal Charter from HM Queen Elizabeth II, support from Monarchists from CANZUK and the US, we shall seek the recovery, rehabilitation and administration our ancestral land, the Philippines and recover the US nationality of QUALIFIED Filipinos. In return, WE SHALL MAKE THE ENTIRE PHILIPPINES AN AMERICAN BATTLE MONUMENT!
We shall seek the intercession of HM Queen Elizabeth II to help us regain the U.S. nationality and U.S. Passports of qualified and deserving Filipinos that they travel and work in the U.S.A. without the need of a visa, typically granted to citizens of countries with a Compact of Free Association with the USA.
As a Sovereign Native American Monarchist with U.S. citizenship and dual nationality (U.K. & U.S.), I shall seek the help of HM Queen Elizabeth II in the formation of a government-in-exile for the Freely Associated State of the Philippines & a Royal Charter for the recovery & administration of our ancestral land the Philippines, both of which shall be under the PERSONAL protection and dominion of HM Queen Elizabeth II. *With the Royal Charter, I could pursue business interests in the USA and elsewhere and MINIMIZE THE PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION my parents, grandparents, my late wife and I have been subjected to ever since.*
On Feb. 18, 1946 the 79th US Congress passed the Rescission Act of 1946 retroactively declared Filipino veterans’ WWII service as “NOT ACTIVE” thus denying Filipino WWII veterans military recognition and benefits.
Two days later President Truman issued 38 – Statement by the President Concerning Provisions in Bill Affecting Philippine Army Veterans Feb. 20, 1946.
Have you ever wondered why the Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor are always referred to as American and Filipino troops when the in fact the Philippines were still part of the U.S.A. and Filipinos were U.S. nationals? The answer is simple. The US Armed Forces was segregated.
Excerpt: “Philippine Army veterans are **nationals of the United States** and will continue in that status until July 4, 1946.
They fought, as **American nationals**, under the American flag, and under the direction of our military leaders.
Their officers were commissioned by us. Their official organization, the Army of the Philippine Commonwealth, was taken into the Armed forces of the United States by executive order of the President of the United States on July 26, 1941.
That order has never been revoked or amended.”
