As a Filipino, I prefer Japan since the Japanese are known for efficiency and quality.
And since we're both situated in the Pacific, we have the same problems
as Earthquakes, Tsunamis, and Typhoons. in which they are experts.
Japan, Taiwan and South Korea should be the only options for the Philippines. Dut bet on China for his own profit, and country has nothing to show for it. The abovementioned democratic countries are known for quality work, products, and investment. If Philippines can eliminate its scourge of corruption, improve its its infrastructure and offer quality free education, it should be able to become a major manufacturing alternative to China, and a remote services hub in the region. I dream of the Philippines becoming the Ireland of ASEAN. So please don't vote for the children of thieves.
This, the Philippines should go more with quality rather than cheap labor costs ://
@@daturadreams China is actually a leader in infrastructure nowadays and build better bullet trains than Japan. It will overtake American economy by 2028 and the business opportunities and investments from 'China, are way too big to ignore.. That's why Malaysians welcome Chinese investments as it's solid. Chinesw products like DJI drones and Oppo phones are now world leading.

@@Elfangorlanzhou And those tofu dreg projects are now sinking in a hugggggeeee debt. Beijing railway transit for example. It's so poorly received that they took loans just to keep it.
China's debt is as huge as their ego.
As a Filipino, I prefer Japan over China, both cultural and economical.
Asean countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines also like Japan over China
@@havidssetiyadi9610 yeah right. I don't discriminate based on country of origins. Or maybe you would like to stay poor and left behind
@@xygog2408 they said "country", not "country of origin". So, no, they're not discriminating against the people associated with the country but rather the policies and authorities of said countries

Japan is a true ally, Most of the Philippine coast guard ships were composed of japanese patrol boats and ships
Those aren’t free money or free help. There are mutual benefits from whatever programs or loans they have.
At least they have better offer than other countries
@@hjkkotsu4680 Because they have the biggest interest in improving Asia pacific, their region. It's less altruistic and more logical. And that's not a bad thing. As long as we're vigilant that their terms are fair and symbiotic

i honestly prefer japan over other countries for infrastructures..cuz both Phil. and Japan has more or less similar experiences with natura disasters like typhoons, islands, and earthquakes..so its better to go to the country with alot more experiences in tackling those issues...plus other countries do give infrastructure aid too like china..but atleast japan doesnt have debt traps...also think about the geopolitics playing here..the first island chain thing..

@@havenbreaker7956 But the debt is still low and we can pay it as we have 100 billion USD budget next year,and the debt we have is somewhere 200 mil idk maybe they can take priority and China don't start wars on countries with strong allies such as us with USA
japan is planting something in philippines that will benefit japan someday. as of now let philippines benefit from it all.
I know LOL, japan may need young workers in the future. I think it may be mutual benefits. However Phil side we need to hurry up building things up.
@@aaronpaglinawan8088 yes, Philippines have the healthy population distribution, meaning we have more young people who can work in Japan as Japan's population declines.
@@freshbakedclips4659 Exactly. Filipino is one of the largest working population in Japan.
Better than China, honestly. Japan mostly needs the workforce, nothing more.
Not exactly true though, those investments are mutually beneficial to one another's economy, both short and long-term economic wise, that's why Japan is heavily investing to the Philippines because they know that they'll get an ample of opportunities to this, in addition to this, we're all aware that Japan has a huge problem population wise, which is shrinking, and Japan is offering many job opportunities to young Filipinos that are seeking works abroad, and Japan is using that opportunity to benefit not only for themselves but also for the Philippines as well.
as a filipino, I trust Japan the most compared to other countries.
When you think of quality, you think of Japan.
You feel safer and better partnering with Japan.

Thank u Japan🇯🇵 for ur continuous support to The Philippines. Then and now, still helping us. ❤️🇵🇭
The Philippines also helped 'build' Japan during its economic boom in the 60s and 70s. Sadly it was in the form of raw materials like wood, which fueled Japan's increasing demand for construction and industrial materials, resulting in deforestation and overexploitation on our end. The largest % of deforestation occured in 60s-70s.
My dad told me of when the government (who granted concessions to people like Enrile) cleared thousands of acres of interior forests, then flowed logs down the rivers where boats picked up them and shipped straight to Japan. Depsite being rich in valuable raw materials, his island remained one of the poorest in the country and became a hotspot for the NPA insurgency :
This is the problem with the Philippines' export, which is mostly raw material or basic materials. We do not have the capability nor the knowledge to process these materials to something more valuable, unlike Japan or South Korea (or to some extent, China) that process them, turning them to a more valuable commodities, like cars, processors, etc.
Since 1990, Philippine forests have been increasing consistently.
@@octaviondeminicolas1941 What is the cause of this? My dad told me there was a kind of total log ban.
@@ginochristiano1397 the deforestation was so bad in dictator era that in the 1986 constitution outright banned logging and even put "makakalikasan" on the national motto, therefore making nature a national priority.
Yet the only reason people know about it is because of the freedom of journalism that we didn't have during the dictatorship era. That was common place before. The following years were not perfect for sure, but the forests were consistently growing in that era, with most of logging all over the country successfully being stopped.
Japan is expert when it comes to earthquakes, infrastructure, technology and railways so yes prrd did make a great deal
Agreed Japan has similar volcanic geography to the Philippines so they are an experienced partner with our problems.
Thanks to China we have more projects coming in, only issue between PH-CH is WPS
@@receptionblcp6463 Japan is a better partner because they have a similar geography to us.

I would rather choose Japan to build infrastructures in my beloved country over china. I hope japan and the Philippines will continue working together, exchanging cultures and economic development as well! Banzai Nihon! Mabuhay Philippines!

I don't know how your school taught history, but our teachers never taught us to keep hatred inside us towards our oppressors!

I understand where you're coming from, but remember we are all the same victims of that past, it's not only us who suffer, but the Japanese people also endure the same pain we all have from that day! It's no one's fault, it's a matter of misunderstanding, to which if we remain to that same vien, we will always feel the same pain! If we learn to forgive, we will learn how to live! Personally, I never hated Japan 🇯🇵, US🇺🇲, and even Spain 🇪🇸 of whom colonized us for 333 years! I may not be there to experience the terror, but reading the history of that time, I can feel the terror!

Japan has top notch products because of fierce competition. They need to innovate to stay on top. While in the Philippines there are too few families who control the wealth of the country. They go into politics and make laws which benefit their own corporations.
Japan had really keen eyes in selecting countries for investment. Philippines will play a major role as it will become a economic power hub in Asia in a decade or two (If good leaders were elected and appointed tho). In addition to that, the country is a strategic location itself encompassing trade routes and strategic defense position in tye Pacific. I'll say this but in the coming years Japan will surely benefit in these investments as they not only helped thePhilippines nboost its economic power but it also secured its alliance and friendship in one of the soon-to-be powerhouse in Southeast Asia.
Philippines is already powerful in the 80s but it fall when the rich people wants to have power in the country
@@tenkuken7168 the country was a powerhouse till then, when the marcoses showed up and stole the wealth and plunged the country into debt we have yet to repay, the golden age of the philippines was in the 30s having 300 years of western architecture, and the capital even having the largest tram system in asia.
But now the future looks bleak as i see people still support the son of the dictator that got this country into the shithole it is right now and the corruption isnt slowing down either, and china's influence grows stronger and we are becoming more dependent on their products, i guess the most i could do right now is pray that this country doesnt eat itself out with all the problems it poses to itself and people stop being ignorant to repeat what we had done back in the 70s by electing the thieves

We filipinos prefer Japan over China to build up our major infrastructure as Japanese are well experienced with more severe natural calamities and can be trustworthy in terms of debt trap as compared to China. #GodBlessPh #PhilippinesFirst 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Not all do , & many of those are in a position of power… which is an area of concern.
I trust China about as far as I could throw a Pooh-bear.
We Indians also prefer Japan over the US, China or any other countries
Japan is helping India in building Bullet train Projects and many other projects
Japan is the most trusted partner of India.

My retired mother works before in the Dept. Of Environment and Natural Resources(DENR). As a child in the 90's, I always heard the initials JICA from my mother and how they always provide support to DENR. I remember whenever I went with her to the office, I always saw furnitures from Japan like tables and chairs that I only saw in J-dramas and always I feel impress how stable and sturdy they were compared to locally made or other foreign furnitures. Also if you see their office projectors, computers, even a simple stapler, there would be a sticker with JICA label on it. I remember aswell, my mother gave me a Pilot pen from Japan and my classmates in private elementary were so excited seeing it at the time.
i see japan as a friend..in fact i admired their helping hands in constructing a quality infrastructure here in the Philippines and i salute them for not criticizing the war on drugs of president duterte..its a good traits of a friend to treasure..i wish, we, the Filipinos can look up to the Japanese people in terms of their discipline and hardwork..thank you so much, japan..❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
Now is the time for us to focus our relationship towards Japan. We need to learn from them and advance our culture. Japan can also benefit from the Philippines by hiring more OFWs. Japan pays the highest to OFW workers. And they don't treat Filipinos like crap like other countries do. Filipinos just need to learn Japanese culture and language. Then they can work in Japan and make a good living.
Yeah. I used to study at a school and our classroom is made by the japanese. It has a Plaque of Japan and Philippine alliances. They also planted some trees near our city hall to commemorate our friendship
The Philippines is a friendly country, and one day it will become the largest economy in Southeast Asia ,from Indonesia
I don't think it will surpass INdonesia total GDP mainly due to its population.
@@ronnienestor not really, Singapore has a small population and has big gdp

In an agreement such as contract, whatever is the nature, both parties agreed to perform a definite thing in exchange for a consideration. The loan grant, pledge or donations in whatever form, Japan reciprocates, or has to pay war reparations that it had caused trajedy and damaged on the Philippines during World War II. That fact underlies the economic cooperation of both countries since the Philipines being agricultural had more resources, while Japan is industrial. That was the beginning of this friendly intercourse in commerce and trade. Now both countries knew and realized they need each other for economic purpose. Philippines provides raw materials, Japan manufactures and returns this as finished products. That was in the 60, 70s, 80s or even 90s. Now the Philippine industries keep on expanding Japanese help. Now with excellent roads and infrastructures all over the country under the build3 Program, the country's economy will boom as more products, minerals can be brought more easil to nations center of commerce that link the entire islands. The better part of the economic ties of both countries is absence of animosities as a result of war. Both and their people had move on. You can see survivors or war veterans in their twilight years salutes each other and hug like long lost brothers who are former enemies, during October 20 Leyte Landing anniversary. anniversary.
Generally speaking, helping, is a wide term to discuss. I believe it still boils down to business. Japan is like our country's biggest lender through the years and we are so grateful for that.
Thank You JAPAN! You are a Good Friend.

Thanks for sharing!
The media likes to shift all negatives / positives to China
Japan helping Philippines is already natural thing, they have been here for decades now, China on the other hand has alot of shady deals on going which potentially dangerous to PH sovereignty

Japan is lenient to the Philippines because it's neighbors like the Korea and China don't see them as friendly because of history. However, Philippines think of Japan as a friendly nation so they too think the same. Philippines! Arigathanks!
As a Filipino... I trust Japan, they are honest people, trustworthy.
They have honor in what they do or say.
Thank you Japan for being a good friend.
Japan, Taiwan, S.Korea are three countries north of us whom we share and consider a friend.
It's also a mutual benefit. They help us, we buy their products..
Japanese cars, vehicles and other equipment and tools are in demand in Ph.
Yes, loans has interest, All loans have interest but Japan is honest and transparent, and we Filipino's prefer it.
If you're a South east Asian or fillipino. You only experience racism in Japan as they don't see fillipinos as equal.. At least they are honest and transparent about it when they think lesser of you.
Lol transparent ??
Japanese are most reserved people ..
Thank you japan
Japan choose the Philippines because we have a large young population. And also, the Philippines will surpass Japan in the future (nominal Gdp only) thats why they are eager to invest here because of the FDI money.
With this, Japan will earn some money from this before the population deficit of their country to happen.

@@sawashakiletomania8955 not really.
Japan and Philippines has actually been friendly with each other since Pre-Colonial times...
The Japanese Leader before he died and Japan completely closed down actually threatened Spain to a complete Japanese invasion if they don't stop trying to colonize The Philippines.
And even after that Japan tried to pay Spain 40 million pound sterling to free the Philippines but Spain refused... Only when Spain was getting kicked out of the Philippines due to the Revolution that they accepted America's offer at a more cheaper price, in which America the just colonized the Philippines again.
Also back then alot of Japanese were Immigrating to the Philippines.
Thank you Japan!❤
All I can say is thank you Japan for your trust!🥰
I have alot of encounter guest Japanese in my previous job in hotels all of them. Are so Disipline and respectful to anyone at grabe kung mag bigay sa mga pinoy so humble and kindness tlaga yan mga Japanese sa mga pinoy at I also admire them how rlly love our country. 🏯🏯🏯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks you Japan ❤ PH.
Many Thanks JAPAN,😊🥰from PHILIPPINES.🙏🙏🙏
as a Filipino who once work in Japan, my though is.
Japan really help us. In the first Place they lend us a hand(money) for building projects. As I heard Philippines borrowed money in Japan for the project of train.. I don't know the detailed, I just read the headlines. They lend us a help and not someone else I don't care if they get some profit of the help they give but as you say Investment. They should have gain profit else you cant call invest.
Like Filipino Trainee at Japan its true that we get less wage than Japanese. But we are trainee and earn that much money that you cant earn in Philippines.
Our economy is slow in developing that's another fact not because of People but the Government. If Government is like Pres.Duterte then the country is long developed. If you question me about what he contribute? He make the Manila Bay, clean that no one had done.
He Wipe all the drug addict that gives bad impression for Filipinos.
Etc. Etc.
Well My answer is Japan really Helped us.
No!, It's Helping Us.
Because they lend us a hand that not other country had to.
They give a lot opportunity for Filipinos to work on their company.
Sorry for my bad English.
The Philippines needs a strong, resilient, reliable and trustworthy partner. That's JAPAN!
Yes
Japanese are genius in infrastructure architect
Now, this is one collaboration I would happily continue supporting long-term.
Yup Japan is very supportive in terms of loan and thier quality of goods are excellent..thank you japan for being a good partner and friend to the phil.
You should check the Build build build project, mass construction going on at the same time.
We've got that topic covered. Check it out at th-cam.com/video/m5oIHzUWOzc/w-d-xo.html
Japan understand and can see the potentials in the Philippines, manpower is number1 ..the people are well educated .
what people? the filipino's or japanese could you be more specfic..............before I backlash at you?
My grandma was not able to finish elementary school due to the invasion by the Japanese. The hardship brought onto the Filipino people by the Japanese Imperial Army affected so many lives. They killed a lot of people. My grandma's hard work and drive overcame her lack of education. She had a business and prospered. Love you grandma. Glad Japan is helping a country that it once destroyed.
To japan im so thank you for helping philippines for the instranstracture that you contribute in our country i hope that this commitment well continue for many many ang strong friendship again thank you mabuhay
It’s Great, Great,Great!!! We love Japan 🇯🇵
With the POLITICAL WILL of our President Duterte everything that needs to be done are bieng accomplished in a much faster past than the previous presidents combined and the japanes ambasador also had a close relationship with Duterte.
The bad thing about the relationship is tho is that Duterte is trying to be friends with China. Japan doesn't like that idea.
@@lorenzangeles9626 Duterte is a strategist
@@kantokuu A dumb one to be specific.
Love 💖 Japan 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Yeah my favorite country japan🇯🇵 love Philippines
japan 🤝 philippines 🇯🇵🇵🇭❤️
I think this is their way of repenting for their sins. They are also grateful because Philippines released the prisoners of war back to their country unharmed. They also have a memorial/statue of our late president because of this.
We Filipinos never forget what they did but we are welcoming their apologize with open arms and look at us now. Japan is the number 1 in terms of helping us poor. Thank you Japanese 🇵🇭♥️🇯🇵
There is a way called Japan... Our people will prosper and so does the people of Japan. A privileged that every Filipinos should be grateful for.Respect is earned not given. What you sow is what you reap... Be grateful and stay grounded for the Lord God is always watching us. I love my country the Philippines and the country of my husband and my children. Thank you Japan for your unending support to my country.Forever grateful. 🙏🇯🇵Thank you Lord ...
As a filipino the history of how japan payed and helped the philippines because of the world war II in 1945 japan destroyed the streets of Manila and the farms of the province and because of the fight of the United States and Japan the philippines is being bombed by japan so japan owes us +200billion pesos and japan helped us rebuild manila and over the years they are still doing it that is the "True" History of why japan owes us
Well as a filipino number one factors why our government prefer japanese aid or loans is because of low interest rates,quality of job or technology plus no strings attached👌👌
Just to provide more historical context for this video: As much as this is true and that the Philippines is very much grateful for Japan's aid, let us not forget though that this "help" originally stem's from Japan's responsibility and reparations for the damages it did to the Philippines during WWII. Remember that the Philippines sustained huge damages being the centerstage of the war between Japanese and Allied forces in Asia during WWII. Cosmopolitan Manila, which has been called "the Paris of Asia" before WWII, was the most destroyed city in Asia (2nd in the world next to Warsaw, Poland). JICA came about because (or in the spirit) of that responsibility/commitment.
Its like unpaid debt XD
Here comes the fake intellectual blabbering about nonsense.
🤦
@@___Anakin.Skywalker lol you commented earlier about wanting Japan to colonise us again 💀💀
@@asahi_ih I'd like that
@@___Anakin.Skywalker well, Britain is better in my opinion..
That is why I love Japan💚❤️
Thank you Japan!
Once Japan dropped its imperialistic principles, they became one of the Philippines best friends. But this probably would not be the case if it were not for my American brothers stepping in during WW2. (My eldest brother personally) How many Philippine people here think the American people should have stayed away from the Philippines and allow Japans attacks? Japanese military allowed their men to rape and pillage the nation according to my father in law. My Philippine wife's father was damned happy to see MacArthur return!
But, unlike my predecessors, I see today the Japanese people as some of the highest character people in the world! Standing along side their equally impressive Philippine Brothers!
Philippines would not be attacked by Japan if not for America colonising it after Spain. If Spain continued to oversee the Philippines via Madrid, Japan would not touch the country.
As for their principles, they have not dropped any of the imperial principles, and have no intention to drop it in the future. Most of their principles still dates back to Edo period, Japan's longest time of peace.
@Florida to Dumaguete if u meant the GEACOP where the Philippines was included, it wasnt bcs of Japan's territorial expansion. GEACOP's vision was to drive out all western powers from East and Southeast Asian countries, and make an economic and military alliance. Western countries didn't want equal footing against other countries and sees them as inferiors, and Japan didnt want this; they wanted Asian countries to be as equal as the west. This didn't turn out too well, and escalated quickly into war.
let me explain: if America (US) didn't intervene with Philippine's independence from Spain, Philippines would have achieved her freedom. Japan would still include the country as part of GEACOP since its purpose was an alliance between East and SEAn countries. The country wouldnt have received attacks from Japan but instead have gotten help to prosper.
now, as written in history, that didnt happned. what happened was that the US took control of the Philippines, delayed its independence, exploited its resources, and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of filipinos. After the Pearl Harbour attack, Manila declared her place as an open city to avoid confrontation from the Japanese as their only targets were American military bases in the country. Japan gave Manila its independence. Then in 1945, US landed on Manila and things got bloody.
if you actually look at history, the US had caused a ton of problems outside its country, meddling with other countries' affairs.
@@-...................- And yet here we are today, the most powerful country in the world and the Philippines is free. My father in law is a 90 year old Philippine, and the horrible stories of degradation and torture done to the Philippine people by the Japanese was only because of their association with the US? I think you misunderstand the relationship the Philippines has with the US. Its easy to claim what the Japanese did to the Philippines by claiming what they *would* have done! A convenient argument. And our scrape with the Philippines was short back then. And nothing as violent as the Spanish occupation. Maybe it was the heavy previous Spanish influence who we stood against? Those influence's were Spanish Philippine after all.
But I agree with you, the US is not crystal clean, but lets not pretend others are when the history says exactly the opposite. I have no beef with the Japanese people or the Chinese people. It's their governments who fooled them. Just like Canada and even the the US both today.
But in my experience as an American MP, rape, pillaging, and murder is rarely overlooked by the US military. The Philippine history people here tell me during the Japanese occupation before MacArthur returned, the women and children had to be hidden from the Japanese occupiers because they were being raped and tortured by their occupiers.
And meddling in another countries affairs was and will be acceptable when that countries suppressed people ask for shelter in a storm. We meddle with dictators and dictators do not like it. Too bad for dictators, eh?
No, we Americans are not always right, like how we treated Japanese Americans during the war. Or how we mistreated the American Indians during the Trail of Tears.But we do not hide from our worst misjudgements, because we know, if you pretend you never make mistakes you are destined to repeat them.
@@newrenewableenergycontrol5724 i agree most of your points. no country is clean, every country has had blood in their hands.
things i wanna point out: within the 50 yrs of american colonisation in the philippines, they've done more harm than the 333 yrs of spanish colonisation. they've killed more filipinos than the spanish did. in fact, PH didnt need any help from the USA during the process of her independence from Spain nor did they asked for help. so this "And nothing as violent as the Spanish occupation" is a big NO.
"and meddling with another countries affairs was and will be acceptable when that countries suppressed ask for shelter in a storm" the thing is, PH didnt want the US to take sovereignty of the country but the latter refused which led to war.
sangleys, insulares, indios, now called filipinos, were in harmony. most of them are. that's when the USA intervened and history was once again rewritten in favour of the USA, the victor.
i know my history, my people's history, and my country's history. good thing biden isnt meddling with russian affairs right now, if he did it would led to another world war.
@@newrenewableenergycontrol5724 oh, your father-in-law is a 90 year old _filipino_ ? that's great. my grandmother was hunted, nearly r*ped and killed by americans just because she worked for the malacañán transporting documents, mostly bank documents to be exact, during the war. do you know who helped her recover? the japanese and filipinos in Manila.
Japan better increase their help since they helped destroy Manila into ashes and rubble during WW2
Very good job!
Japan invaded the Philippines in WWII, after that Pilipino people are still good even though with that conflict happened before. Maybe this is the reason why Japan is good to the Pilipino people, the trust.
Arigato Japan I hope we will be able to repay you, thank you for all your help here in the philippines🤩🤩
These are all correct, Japan helps a lot, its not all free but cheapest interest without any conditions not like western countries….thanks you Japan you’re really true brothers….
That's true. IMF constantly has conditions to open up economy excessively and let Western corps buy everything out.
7 decades ago
Japan was destroying bridges,railways and historical buildings
What a turnover
PH should deepen ties w/ JP even more, esp infra which would then result to even more JP companies relocating. Both are archipelagos directly facing Pacific, similar size of population & land...
When i was in my Elementary school years
Japan donated the Philippines for school Facilities i don't remember the name of the building in my Elementary school.
But i do remember the "Jaica" or Jica building during my High school years
The title is a bit insensitive given the fact that the Japanese were the ones who destroyed Manila during WWII. Many innocent people were killed and many historic buildings were destroyed. The "help" that they gave us later on are basically "reparations" for the destruction that they've done in the past.
Agree
Let me clarify that
"Sorry that I pushed you like yesterday can I give you 10¥ to make up for that please forget about it"
They already took 2 big fat Ls and they are now helping us, forgive but never forget.
@@stalker2084 but that person who pushed you yesterday isn't the same person infront of you today.
I think you meant "reparations"
All conflicts aside, China and Japan are doing their best for Asia. They are changing the way what the west consider as "help". Instead of giving alms, they provide infras so more countries can be self-sustaining. While Japan focuses in SEA esp the Phil, China focuses on poorer countries like south, central asia and africa. Because these Countries are very rich but were often just exploited by non other than, yes you guest it, the west. There are controversies ofcourse like debt trap etc but I think the main goal of these initiatives like the belt and road, is so Asian countries and Africa can start relying on each other like how EU and US does.
Funny cuz if the West hadn't intervene during Japanese occupation, All of Asia would be speaking Japanese right now and china wouldn't have come to where it is today.
@@haechiwr Yes its funny because before the US helped the Phil in ww2, they tricked and colonized us. So they had no choice but to come to our aid esp because they have so many US citizens living here that time(and we were their fucking colony). And because axis, a greater evil was created, they suddenly became the good guys so they now had to maintain that facade. Wont go into further details because thats in the past. Whats important is what these superpowers are doing now.
@@haechiwr the west armed Japan heavily and China kept Japan at bay for 9 plus years. Also the West colonised most of Asia and took vast amounts of wealth and cut limbs of sugar cane workers. They also wrecked Asia for a long while.
Kaya pala ang mamahal ng projects, high quality materials...
And thats the reason why Phil is the second country of watcbing the most anime, second only to japan .
They should really help us. They fed their soldier with human meat from an entire tribe, a whole village died and eaten just to prove loyalty to japan. With this kind of atrocity, they should compensate us with unpayable amount of help.
Thank you Japan ! i`ll remember this and give back to japanese people the best help i can give .
Philippines love Japan.
I cant remember what countries exactly but Philippines used to be an economic powerhouse and helped many developing countries especially on crops and other plant related products, sadly Philippines lagged behind, japan may be returning favours to the Philippines for this but i am thinking it is already more than the returned favours
The more you mean is probably ww2 reparations
@@racelkatyusha403
Ah yes the ww2 also, how can i forget that?
Because of the aquinos, they sell big lands to foreign investors. And even big conpanies owned by the government they all have been sold.
One of it is vietnam. PH helped them to grow crops like rice efficiently and now they are on of the biggest exporters
