Thank God MacArthur and the US forces returned to the PI

A bit biased to the Americans, no? Making it seem like they're the only ones who did the work when there are actually a lot of Filipinos that helped.

Early in 1945, General Yamashita planned for his men to evacuate Manila and fight in the countryside. However, two Japanese admirals ignored his order and committed their men to a final stand inside the city. When the Americans arrived, the Japanese forces realized that they faced certain death and vented their rage on the hapless civilians trapped inside their lines.
For weeks, the Japanese raped, pillaged, and murdered. Aside from the bayonets and beheadings, they machine-gunned captives and set fire to buildings with people trapped inside. The Americans ceased artillery strikes so the Japanese could surrender, but the Japanese instead continued their rampage.
After the dust settled, all Japanese defenders of the city had died, taking with them 100,000 civilian casualties. The incident left Manila as one of the Allies’ most damaged capital cities, second only to Warsaw. -

How many of your presidents in the past have been assassinated by an American? Four (Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy). How many Filipino presidents have been assassinated by a Filipino? None. Zero (0)! Your country is also considered number one when it comes to mass shooting incidents in the world today. The USA also have more incarcerated people than any other country in the world today. And you have the nerve to tell us that Americans are more civilized than Filipinos?

I'm so glad we punished millions of those filthy servants of Catholic, Spanish, USA colonialists and slavers in Philippines that had been hunting thousands of Japanese slaves then trading them in Macau, Singapore, Bangkok for centuries. We need to do it again if those Pinoy savages do not regret it and don't pay the price.
REMEMBER YOU FUNNY DIRTY HONORARY WHITE COLONIALIST AND SLAVER PINOYS, YOU CAN NEVER ENSLAVE US! -

So much effort to go to war. Who wants to go to war? Unless you are defending your country. So stupid,who ever starts wars.

After America liberated the resource rich islands, the country is now one of the poorest in Southeast Asia. Thanks America, stay here for good. The rape hasn't been completed yet.
