Memorial Day 2013: Manila, Philippines 1945
Among the members of Laurel’s puppet government were Benigno Aquino Sr., grandfather of Aquino III, president of the Philippines who was declared winner of the highly anomalous May 2010 election. And Manuel A. Roxas who would become the first president of the 1946 Republic (3rd republic). His grandson Mar Roxas II is now the Sec. of Interior who ran as Aquino III’s VP.
“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.
My recommendation per Dec. 6, 2012 WAIS post Collective Guilt and Making Amends:
– Manuel Roxas and all those who were granted amnesty by Roxas in 1948 should be POSTHUMOUSLY tried for treason.
– Their children and grandchildren must be removed from positions of power and authority.
– Properties of oligarch traitors, their cronies shall be confiscated in favor of the government in exile to fund US led re-occupation forces in the Philippines.
– All Filipinos who are residents of an industrialized countries shall be given TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS.
– Mandatory Philippine (History) re-education course and examination will be required for them to earn back their respective citizenship.
– All international organizations like the World Bank, IMF and the UN must submit a full accounting of all the funds loaned or given to the Philippines.
– An investigation of past and present employees of the World Bank, IMF, UN and members of the US Congress Committee on Foreign Relations should ensue.

Flags of the Philippines
Catholicism & Christianity came from the West and still is the dominant religion in the Philippines. If you want Christian/Catholic based way of life to succeed in the Philippines, the UK (British Monarchy) through Australia & New Zealand with the cooperation of the U.S. is our best bet in the Philippines. Traditional Sino-Japanese rivalry disqualifies both including Korea. Singapore favors the U.S. but the U.S. is more of a global policeman than a nation-builder. Otherwise, Unitarian Universalist Church, born out of Calvinism is the best American option. It’s Unitarian though, not totally Christian. Of course there is Buddhism and Hinduism.
In the list of flags of the Philippines you will notice that the Union Jack (British Flag) first flew over the Philippines long before Old Glory (U.S.) or the Philippine flags ever did.
Closer ties between the Philippines & the U.K. is more possible today more than ever. The U.S. has always been allergic to the “colonizer” label even though it never was the case. I don’t see the U.S. returning & staying in the Philippines long enough to really make a difference (of simplifying things). Once a Democrat becomes president, foreign policy towards the Philippines will be reversed in favor of dependent-independence that has always favored the oligarchs. History will bear this out. Even the State Dept acknowledges it. U.S. political set-up is not ideal for the Philippines. The status quo is a dead-end.
The British have been tested and proven as present-day Singapore & Hong Kong show. We have to acknowledge the fact that while the economies of the Philippines, like Singapore and Hong Kong are dominated by ethnic Chinese, the Philippines is a basket case. Besides the King James version of the Bible came from England, right?
The eight rays of the sun in the Philippine Flag of 1896 represent the eight Tagalog provinces that revolted against the Friars and were put under martial law.
