INTRODUCTION

After the disastrous stint working in the geothermal industry where my late wife, Maria Elena G. Macario was a reservoir engineer for Cal Energy (formerly Magma Power) until 1998 and I was the accountant for two of the geothermal power plants until 1995, we relocated to Costa Mesa, CA in 1998. It was there in 1999 that I was invited to join the Stanford-based World Association of International Studies (WAIS), the oldest e-journal in the world founded by Prof. Ronald Hilton (1911-2007) who gathered together a global network of scholars, historians, business leaders, lawyers, journalists, military officers, diplomats and other experts and conducted daily discussions on varied topics ranging from history, politics, economics, religion, culture and international affairs. Sometime in 2006, I joined another Stanford alumni group, the Stanford Independent Consultants Network (SICN). In 2010, controversy arouse it was revealed that Team USA uniforms for the Winter Games in Vancouver were made in China. In my email “Personal Update Feb. 12, 2011” to this online group that I suggested the restoration of U.S. sovereignty over the Philippine Islands through a compact of free association.  Manufacturing and other facilities from Japan and China could then be relocated to the Philippines thereby making these goods “Made in the USA” and could be shipped to the USA tariff-free.

As John Maynard Keynes famously said in 1944: “The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that still carries any reward.”

In one of my WAIS posts on Feb. 9, 2007, “Turkey and the EU . . .”, I listed the purchases made by the U.S. government from 1803 to 1898 including the acquisition of the Philippine Islands along with Puerto Rico and Guam under the 1898 Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish-American War of 1898. During the negotiations the American commissioners negotiated in a hostile atmosphere because all Europe, except England, was sympathetic to the Spanish side. In a WAIS post “US: Howard Dean’s Remark“ dated Aug. 17, 2008, I stated that native inhabitants of all the lands that the U.S. government purchased automatically became Native Americans, the status I am seeking for my people.

On Nov. 8, 2013, the powerful Typhoon Haiyan devastated Central Philippines. But the sovereign and dependent-independent government despite billions of dollars in World Bank loans gave a dismal response to the emergency. And for the first time on WAIS, I proposed the establishment of a government-in-exile for the freely associated state of the Philippines based in London, U.K. under the personal protection and dominion of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Had the Philippines entered into a Compact of Free Association with the USA, FEMA and other federal departments, bureaus, agencies and office would be responding directly to the emergency. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), U.S. Geological Survey and other U.S. federal departments, bureaus, agencies and offices could be involved even before calamities happen. “Massive Typhoon Hits Philippines (Bienvenido Macario USA, 11/09/13 11:57 am)” is the title of the WAIS post. Here’s the waisworld link:

https://waisworld.org/go.jsp?id=02a&objectType=post&o=80085&objectTypeId=69460&topicId=17

My question is this:

What right did Spain have to sell our ancestral land to the United States of America? In the same token, what right did France under Napoleon Bonaparte or Czarist Russia, Spain and Mexico, have to sell the ancestral lands of the Native Americans as listed in my WAIS post re: Turkey and the EU; Mexico and the US (Bienvenido Macario, Philippines 02/09/07 3:28 pm)?

In this post is a long list of gold, silver bullions, bank accounts, bonds, real estate, assets, properties and the natural resources of the Philippines, an abandoned U.S. territory, that I have claimed for HM Queen Elizabeth II. There are claims against the Spain, Japan and the USA.

1.) CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN – Restitutions are being sought for the exploitation, tyranny, oppression, financial, economic, psychological and other damages including death suffered by the natives through colonization by the Spanish empire that continue to this day with the tacit approval and funding from Washington DC through the ethnic Spanish or part-Spanish and other non-native oligarchic families as listed on the 2015 Forbes richest “Filipinos”. 

The Philippines was under the Spanish colonial rule for 333 years (1565 to 1898) before it was purchased by the U.S.A in 1898. Later Washington DC abandoned the Philippine territory twice.

Both the Philippines and California were both colonized by Spain. We could perhaps compare how indigenous peoples on the opposite sides of the Pacific fared under the Spanish rule. I have incorporated the Filipinos’ experience at the hands of the Spanish conquistadores and friars in the blog post “Genocide Against California’s Native Americans “Exterminate Them: The California Story” by Floyd ‘Red Crow’ Westerman.

The Native Americans under the control of the Spanish missions were fed just like the prisoners of Buchenwald, a Nazi concentration camp, in its final year. Their daily food ration was 600 to 700 calories. However Native Americans had to work in the fields.

The genocide of California’s Native Americans started during the gold rush of 1849. The involvement of then Gov. LELAND STANFORD in paying militias who carried out the extermination of Native Americans was one of the truly shocking revelations of Floyd ‘Red Crow’ Westerman’s documentary. It was a state and federal government subsidized genocide.

Since the Philippines was colonized and occupied by Spain, shouldn’t we be allowed to colonize and occupy Spain for 333 years as part of restitution? Just asking.

2.) CLAIMS AGAINST THE USA – Restitutions are being sought for the financial, economic, psychological and other damages including death suffered by the natives during the Filipino genocide better known as the Philippine War 1899-1902.

As mentioned earlier, Washington DC abandoned the Philippine territory twice. The first time was in March 1934 when FDR signed into law the Tydings-McDuffie Act (Philippine Independence Act) that reclassified Filipinos including those already residing the 48 states from American nationals to “aliens.” Our parents and grandparents were never asked through a plebiscite or referendum if they wanted to give up their American nationality, become stateless and “be on the road to independence.”

Tydings-McDuffie Act as the inspiration for Hitler’s Nuremberg Race Laws is discussed on the blog post “Waiting For The American Redemption (The 88th Anniversary of the Tydings-McDuffie Act)”. There is no doubt FDR and the 73^rd Congress are both guilty of extreme indifference and wholesale discrimination. As enumerated in the above blog post “Waiting For The American Redemption”, other indications that FDR was racist are:

FDR continued to fund the Tuskegee Experiment despite the scarcity of government funds during the Great Depression.  Started in 1932, funding for the Tuskegee Experiment should have been stopped in 1933.

In 1935 FDR refused to publicly endorse the Costigan-Wagner Bill, an anti-lynching bill. FDR did not want to antagonize Southern Democrats whose support he needed for the 1936 presidential election.

In 1936 contrary to rumors that Hitler snubbed African-American gold medalist Jesse Owens, it was  FDR who snubbed Jesse Owens and 18 other African-American Olympians. Jesse Owens was not invited to the White House.

In June 1939 the Captain of MS St. Louis appealed to FDR seeking asylum for his German-Jewish passengers who were denied entry to Cuba after their visas were invalidated by the Cuban government. FDR didn’t even bother to respond again for fear of losing the support of Southern Democrats in the coming 1940 presidential election.

3.) CLAIMS AGAINST JAPAN and ITS EMPEROR – Restitutions are also sought against Japan and its Emperor for for the financial, economic, psychological and other damages including death suffered by the natives, Americans and foreign nationals who did not collaborated with the Japanese Imperial Forces during the brutal occupation of the Philippines during World War II. After the war, Japan indoctrinated its people that the country was the victim of war instead of admitting that Japan was in fact found guilty of waging an aggressive war in Tokyo War Crimes Trials conducted after World War II. This is historical revisionism and must be corrected.

In this April 5, 1986 interview conducted by Ted Koppel, ousted Philippine strongman Ferdinand E. Marcos, Sr. categorically stated that they did not steal anything from the Philippines and its people. Therefore, all the real estate, bank accounts, assets, treasures, silver, gold, properties and natural resources are free of any claim by the Marcoses, their families, friends, cronies and surrogates.

F.E. Marcos, Sr.: “But I can tell you of this, that we never spend government funds for our personal purpose. If we did, we replace them immediately. I may have committed many sins in my life. But stealing money from the people, from the government, is not one of them.“

In a March 15, 2015 WAIS post, Roy Domenico introduced a potential WAIS Villa in Tuscany.  “Introducing…the Villa WAIS” (Roy Domenico, USA, 03/15/15 4:14 pm)

On March 17, I countered with a proposal to have a WAIS Headquarters in the West Coast “as soon as a substantial portion of my claim has been released.”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Regarding a WAIS Villa in Tuscany, I would prefer to have a WAIS West Coast HQ in Southern California, where the weather is nice and warm like San Diego or Newport Beach. Santa Barbara or up north in the San Francisco Bay Area would also be nice. This will be my priority as soon as I have a freely associated state, Sovereign Native American status and/or a government-in-exile for the Philippines. Of course this would come after a substantial amount of my claim has been released.

===== end of WAIS post excerpt =====

Initially, the claim was made on Wednesday Aug. 3, 2011, on a visit to St. George Chapel at Windsor Castle. In a written prayer for the eternal repose of my late wife Maria Elena G. Macario, I sought the personal protection & dominion of HM Queen Elizabeth II and made the claim, among others, for the repossession, rehabilitation and administration of our ancestral land the Philippines, an abandoned U.S. territory.

On Sept. 6, 2011, in Note on my Facebook (gmail), I reiterated my quest for the repossession, rehabilitation and administration of our ancestral land, the Philippine Islands under the personal protection and dominion of HM Queen Elizabeth II.

Under the personal protection and dominion of HM Queen Elizabeth II, Defender of the Faith, a Royal Charter maybe the more efficient way to repossess, rehabilitate and administer our ancestral land, the Philippine Islands. The Royal Charter would also pave the way for the establishment of the government-in-exile for the Freely Associated State of the Philippines based in London, U.K. Since the claim over an abandoned U.S. territory is made as a Sovereign Native American, presence in the United States of America is necessary. The Royal Charter should provide for the formation of the American Monarchist Society and link the same with the Australian Monarchist League of which the principal claimant is a member. The Royal Charter shall actively support the CANZUK International, the international advocacy organization promoting closer economic, diplomatic and institutional ties including free movement between Canada, Australia, New Zealand & the UK.

To give you an idea of what the Philippine Islands have to offer, here is a list of the top 10 beaches in the Philippines.

It has been decided that the participation and involvement of the following couples and individuals would be indispensable:

Tony and Margaret Abbott

David and Samantha Cameron

Individuals who at one time or another worked with us on special projects around the world but I am not at liberty name like MJC of New Jersey.

In gratitude for the USA coming to the aid and support of Australia, New Zealand and the U.K. during WWII, we shall make the ENTIRE PHILIPPINES AN AMERICAN BATTLE MONUMENT!

AUGUST 16, 2024 UPDATE:

As a British-American, de-facto Sovereign Native American, I, Bienvenido Macario / The M.E.G. Macario Foundation and on behalf of HM Queen Elizabeth II, Defender of the faith, we claim, among others, the following:

1. Restitutions are being sought for the financial, economic, psychological and other damages including death suffered by the natives during the Filipino Genocide better known as the Philippine War 1899-1902. More of a rebellion than a war, majority of the Filipino people welcomed the Americans. However it was Emilio Aguinaldo’s hardline stance and insistence to be recognized as the sole ruler of the Philippine archipelago that turned a dying rebellion to a brutal guerilla war. Today Dec. 12, 2024 is the 123rd death anniversary of our great grandfather Nicolas Aldana who was executed at the machinations of Emilio Aguinaldo. Please see: Nicolas Aldana & Emilio Aguinaldo – Dec. 27, 2015    

Two years after President Theodore Roosevelt declared the end of the Philippine War 1899-1902, to introduce the USA’s most recent acquisition, native inhabitants of the Philippines were included in the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, MO dubbed Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

Among the exhibits of the Human Zoo were the Apaches including Geronimo himself.

     

Not far from Geronimo with a token band of Apaches, were the Igorots of the Philippines

Bontoc Igorot men perform dances in the Philippine Exposition at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, c. 1904. St. Louis Public Library, Louisiana Purchase Exposition glass plate negative collection.

The Shocking Story of the Young Filipino Zoo Girl Put on Display in Coney Island in 1906.

The girl, whose name is unknown, was one of the many indigenous people taken from their homelands and displayed in exhibits such as this. They were often treated like objects, with little regard for their dignity or fundamental human rights. They were forced to perform for the entertainment of the crowds, and their cultures and customs were often misrepresented or sensationalized. She was far from home, surrounded by strangers who looked at her as curious. She was dressed in traditional clothing and made to sit on a bench for hours, with no understanding of what was happening around her. Link: https://www.bygonely.com/young-filipino-zoo-girl/

While my ancestors, like other Native American tribes suffered from Washington DC’s erratic policy towards natives of all the lands the U.S. government has purchased, nonetheless, a direct descendant of Nicolas Aldana, Cenon A. Cosme, my maternal uncle, his cousin Constancio G. Cosme and my father Jose R. Macario volunteered and joined* the Insular Forces of the U.S. Navy after President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the order placing the Armed Forces of the Philippine Commonwealth under U.S. Command on July 26, 1941. This order restored the American nationality of Filipinos that was stripped away without due process when the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934 was signed into law by Franklin D. Roosevelt.

As Floyd “Red Crow” Westerman pointed out in his documentary that ironically, Native Americans like the Filipinos are staunch defenders of this country.

WIKILeaks – US says Island Mindanao has $1-Trillion Dollar untapped mineral resources

AT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 2011  

https://betterphils.blogspot.com/2011/08/wikileaks-us-says-island-mindanao-has-1.html

[Mindanao is known as “The of Promise”. The promise of all the promises. Treasures, Land of God, the Lost Paradise, The lost garden of Eden and the land of the last judgment in earth. Bible scholars even pointed the Mindanao as the land of promise of all promises. One verse of the Bible quoted “The God’s kingdom will rise again in the east of the east seas where the Sun will rises first, in the white sand shores where the only land which people are willing to live and die for praising my name ”.]

Leaked diplomatic documents in Wikileaks showed the United States has a special interest in the natural resources in Mindanao and the ending of the armed conflict in the region, giving credence to a suspicion that the United States is prodding the Aquino administration’s peace efforts with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), including brokering the recent secret meeting between MILF spokesman Al Haj Murad and President Aquino.

Wikileaks obtained documents dated February 2006 or prior to the botched signing of the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD) on Aug. 5, 2008 showing extensive reference to the untapped rich mineral resources of Mindanao and tensions in the region which hinder the exploitation of these resources.

The leaked cable from the US embassy in Manila made particular reference to the so-called Liguasan Marsh in the Cotabato Basin spanning 288,000 hectares and is among areas controlled by the MILF.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has already identified natural gas and oil deposits in three areas of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago: the Cotabato Basin, the Davao-Agusan Basin; and an area straddling Tawi-Tawi and Sulu. The Cotabato Basin, notably, includes the 288,000 hectare Liguasan Marsh, straddling the provinces of Maguindanao, North Cotabato, and Sultan Kudurat, according to the cable.

There are ^other funds & treasures in Europe and elsewhere that rightfully belong to my people and the Philippines.

21.) World Bank Loans to the Philippines from Oct. 2011 to July 2013 totaling $4 billion for disaster preparation and recovery. When Typhoon Haiyan devastated Central Philippines on Nov. 8, 2013, there were no preparations. During the rescue and recovery efforts, it became obvious that there were no funds for the relief of the typhoon victims. Thousands of dead bodies littered the disaster area for weeks, even months after the typhoon.

Excerpt: “Worse, the World Bank gave a $3.7 billion loan to the Philippines in October 2011 and another $300 million last July 13, 2013. There might be other loans, grants, and aid I am not aware of. I’ve excluded the $150 million donations from the international community for the typhoon (Haiyan) relief efforts.

The Philippines is a former US territory and this country has a special responsibility to those islands and its people. We should stop funding oppression and the undemocratic oligarchy in the Philippines, withdraw our Ambassador and encourage others to do the same.

Benguet Consolidated Mines, San Miguel Corporation and other companies, corporations and entities, rehabilitated after WWII, using U.S. Assistance and other funding including U.S. and Japanese war reparations in cash or in kind such as ships and equipment including grants, loans or other creative funding.  Benguet Consolidated Mines received $6 million while other American-owned businesses received $150 million in 1946. Eventually the oligarchs took over the American-owned businesses.

26. b.) Missed opportunities. About two months after the death of my wife, on Feb. 12, 2011, I proposed the creation of a Freely Associated State in the Philippines or parts thereof; transfer factories from China and elsewhere, even build new ones if need be. The products of these factories would be rightfully labelled as “MADE IN THE USA” and sold in the US, tariff free. See:

26. d) Still other monies and funds found their way to Russia that Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo tried but failed to retrieve. Her brother-in-law Iggy Arroyo deposited funds in a UK bank around 2009. In 2004 Philippine Daily Tribune reported that Iggy Arroyo’s net worth was placed at $5,196,428.57 while First Gentleman Mike Arroyo at $1.5 million. In late Aug. 2011 Iggy Arroyo went back to London. He died of cancer in Jan. 2012.

“In a telephone interview Friday with the Philippine Daily Inquirer in Bacolod City, Iggy Arroyo said he was confined in a hospital in London for a checkup on his liver and surgery to repair his hipbone. He said he first had hip surgery 12 years ago.”

Senate appearance doctors’ call—Ignacio Arroyo

I don’t think Aquino III is after any Corona’s, the Arroyos’ or Marcoses assets in the Philippines or abroad.  Below is the real story behind Iggy Arroyo’s trip to London for “liver check-up”

If Aquino III is after the money Gloria M. Arroyo has looted from the Philippine treasury, WAIS Chairman Cameron Sawyer who based in Russia, has given an idea where it went as early as June 02, 2011. Note that Iggy Arroyo, Gloria’s brother-in-law went to London  in Aug. 2011 two months after Cameron Sawyer’s post. Cameron and I met in a conference in England last July 2011.

“Every Russian oligarch has at least a house in London, and many of them live there permanently. There they rub elbows with their counterparts from India, China, the whole Arab world, Southeast Asia (Iggy Arroyo?), and much of the rest of the world. The beneficiary is the UK economy–when they decide to take their companies public, they naturally do it in London, where they feel at home.”

27.) March 15, 2018 – German Possessions Purchased From Spain Under The German-Spanish Treaty of 1899 signed on Feb. 12,1899.

Germany financed and supported Spain in the Spanish-American War that ended with Spain ceding the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam for $20 million under the Treaty of Paris. That war bankrupted Spain and she decided to sell her remaining possessions in the Pacific for 17 million Marks or 25 million pesetas under the German-Spanish Treaty of 1899 signed on Feb. 12,1899.

After WWI, the victors awarded former German possessions mostly to Japan with German Samoa going to New Zealand. After WWII, The U.S. took over the Marshall Islands, the Carolines, the Marianas, the Palau Islands.

I am claiming the former German possessions in the Pacific on behalf of HM Queen Elizabeth II considering that those territories were purchased by Kaiser Wilhelm II who was the first cousin of King George V, HM Queen Elizabeth II’s grandfather.
