The Japan-Philippines "special relationship" is seen as a economic partnership that has seen tremendous benefits. Do you think that Japan is investing in the Philippines because of their history? Let us know down below!
I think this is there way of saying sorry If we look how SouthKorea and Japan's relationship is.. I will say Philippines and Japans relationships get's alot of benefits. While Filipinos are forgiving person's SouthKoreans are known for holding hatred against Japan due to there history and it led Japan and SK bussines relationships getting complicated in due process.
@@andriecutay3053 nope, some Filipino's don't ever like Japan totally, most of them were born from 80's, 90's nd even 2000's, some of Filipinos like Japan because of anime depite of their brutality and the bloodiest history, not everyone like Japan because their atrocities has never been unforgivable even making a lot of animes, infrastructure and even investment is not enough to pay their sins, how could they say invest is an apology for taking the lives of the filipino
Japan has always been there for us , Helping the Philippines to technologically develop. We love Japan and the Japanese people. We always admire the Japanese culture and their discipline.
Yes Even They Committed A Biggest Sins To Us A Filipinos But They Are Now Change They Are Now Kind Respectful Unlike America Then Until Now Still A Devil
I'm Pinoy and I can say that Japan is one of our most reliable allies in terms of infrastructure and cultural exchange. Japan is also sincere in our projects compared to other "so-called" ally nation *Ahem China and US
Probably China but the US?! How did you get your education? How many Filipinos are in the US sending remittances?! And how did you learn to speak English. Hypocrite.
I think one of the reasons why the majority of the Filipinos don't hold grudge against the Japanese is because it's already in the past, most of those Japanese who occupied the Philippines is already dead. The Japanese that we know on this generation is not the one who destroyed the country, it's their ancestors. They might be connected, but we shall never blame someone who never did us wrong. Yeah, i get it that they belong to the same nationality/country, but if we're going to be mad at them, What's the gain? Afterall Filipinos are known as one of the kindest people in the world. But don't get me wrong, Filipinos could easily forgive someone, but we'll never forget. I'm hoping for the come back of the forgotten tiger of Asia, The Philippines.
Japanese had to do what it had to do to kicked the Western countries control out of Asia. The west controlled 80 percent of Asia before ww2. Meaning we cannot trade with our neighboring countries without thier permission. It had to be done. Now I think 95 percent of Asia is controlled by Asians. Isn't that beautiful. Asians controlling thier countries at last.
Its happening, in many observable ways. Not only in manila but countrywide, improvements and building infrastructure everywhere, every city and just about every province. Between all the other developing asean conference nations, were one of the hottest emerging economies in asia besides China, if not the world. Phillipines gdp is on track to increase by another steady 6-7 % per year, total output nearing 500 billion and increasing. Along with china, phillipines is leading the world in green technology and initiatives. But warning to china: do not overstep our claim to our islands to the west of us, we have native tribal filipinos who live and fish in the floating villages at sea by those islands that's their home. Anyone whos ever done so we kicked them out. And even though the us would not credit the phillipines for fighting against the spaniards in front of the world, let it be known we had won against the colonizers. Let it be known northern luzon phillipines guerrillas like my lolo are who drove out the Japanese from our islands, not MacArthur who had to retreat to Australia. Anyways back to what im saying, as of summer 2022 i can report tourism is increasing and the building has no stop no end in sight. Manila Ncr is getting a new subway put in. Bulacan in the northand cavite to the south are both getting international airports, the one in cavite being built on reclaimed land, just as okada manila has, along with the entire new gaming area. many kababayas have not forgotten what theyve done to us, but now they're engineering all our infrastructure so its earthquake proof, and having cheap chinese labor do the building to stay within cost and meet our goals on track on time unlike America. Which is always built shoddy by the lowest contractor with European illegals using short cut methods jeopardizing the whole project, always finishing late overbudget. No our work ethic is better and were learning from the best at staying on time and hustling to meet those deadlines... A word about that other 12% that do not approve of the Japanese or foreigners, I saw first hand in the province, like a reverse racism, a sign stating Japanese and white foreigners sit here and filipinos and other asians or customers sit inside. I guess that small restaurant made it a point to serve the filipino locals and families first in the ac, then attend to foreigners and Japanese outside. Coming from the usa this was a surprise to see, but I remained respectful and did not question it and ate inside quickly and moved on.... although most are not like this, theres still some places that do... so watch yourselves and your conduct, its your meal ticket in general in the phillipines. Nutrition is improving too, traveling back in my teens or 20s, i was taller than most people there by a large margin, im 5'9 which is tall for se asia. But when i visited this year, i was just avg. Many young guys even some girls now are very tall, even younger cousins in my family there, my lil cuz shes just as tall as me. And her mom had gotten taller too, im no longer tallest in the family...
Like president Duterte said, when it comes to economy and infrastucture, Japan treats the Philippines as if it is its province. The amount of assistance and grant is just so huge.
@@restartedv69 hahahah sinu gusto masakup? Hahaha ang tapang mo parang sisiw lang yung gyera gusto mo mawala ang civilization sa mundo? Dahil lang sa isang isla na marami nag claim na sakanila yung isla

so many filipino changed their life from poverty because of working in japan, many japanese companies also built their buiseness in the country giving so many jobs
I'm thankful for the infrastructures being built especially the Manila to Clark railway project since it has been on hold for around 12 years and now it's scheduled to be operational in 2024.
True! But instead of taking advantage of Japanese offer of infrastructure development, some administrations are even politicizing and preferred Chinese offer with bigger interests!
it is because japan helps without interfering in the philippines internal policies. in contrast with the US even with decades of relationship tends to interfere on national policies and politics. china also has decades of relations with the philippines but with hidden interests and agendas.
Honestly this US is so wanting to manipulate other countries... Why can't they just focus on there own country? Like the recent gunfire in Texas school several kids killed because of it and Biden promises nothing like that would happen... What a huge embarrassment for him.
I am a Filipina, and ever since I was young I really admired Japan. I grew up watching animes and be friends with some Japanese who studies english here. I can say that they also really love Philippines. And for us Filipinos, what happened in the past remains in the past. What matters the most is the amazing friend we had with the Japan right now.
I love Japan as they help the Philippines grow in terms of economy. Let's forget the past and move on together for a better nation. Japan- Philippines relationship grows even stronger. God bless to both countries.
Japan funded the revolution of the Filipinos against Spain and even supplied the weaponries but soon later found out by the Spaniards. Japan didn't pursue taking Philippines from Spain in the late 1800's to early 1900's as it's busy annexing Korea and Manchuria, China as its territories following their win with the Russia-Japan war in the early 1900's and because Japan knew another superpower- U.S.A. eyed the Philippines in taking over as its new colonial master.
Reason why is because their imperialist government. While the Meiji supported the Philippine revolutionary war, Showa viewed us as a thorn in their imperial japanese expansionism due to the fact that it was an American puppet at that time.
Sayang nga sana kung oil lang naman hanap nila kinuha na lang sana nila ang siberia sa russia. Mas marami pang oil doon lalong lalo na sa north sakhalin. Hindi na sana nadamay ang SEA region sa expansion ng japan. Kakarampot lang din naman ang makukuha nilang oil sa indonesia
JAPAN shows sincerity about being a real allies to the Philippines, it’s like a commitment relationship and they proved themselves very well, i love my Japan friends so much 🥰
The irony is that some Filipinos condemn Japan for its past atrocities in the Philippines while praising the United States. It's interesting to note that were it not for the presence of Americans, the Japanese would have not invaded the Philippines, at least in the point of view of president Duterte. Japan along with China, South Korea and Israel have contributed a lot to the nation building of the Philippines. They deserve the gratitude of the Filipino people. On the other hand, our very own treaty ally treats us like a lapdog as if we're still their colony. They want us to be their pawn and military outpost for their future (proxy) war against China. Where's the rationality there? Wake up Filipinos!
@@tkcabasan2521 Actually the philippines was once a superpower in Asia, when the Aquino's went into power from Corazon to noynoy everything has changed for the worst, the AFP was left behind by other asean nations when it come to upgrading it's military, it's hard to put the trust to the US when it comes to defending the philippines even if there's a signed treaty, because every country that they intervened turned into ruble, like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine etc, no one will die for the country except the filipino people.

As a Filipino, I agree that most of the Filipinos are Pro-Japan. Personally, I trust Japan the most, followed by the U.S. and South Korea respectively. These countries has always been there for us.
i dont really trust uncle sam , tingnan mo ano ang Pinas nung puppet nila ang naupo?? compared noon kesa ngaun . kaya nga kaming matatalino eh wala ng choice kundi iboto nlng si bbm kesa kay ka leni at sa iba pa.
@@ourhourore1500 in my opinion, i don't think na may puppet. Depende siguro sa international relations policy. The Philippines has been an ally to U.S. after gaining again the independence after the WW2. Duterte on the other hand has different policy where he is more China friendly, China kasi is bully sa Philippines lalo sa mga mangingisda natin so I don't trust Chinese government at all. The Philippines struggled because of the government policies. Yung economy natin is nag start lang umangat ng malaki when PNOY became President, na ipinagpatuloy rin ni Duterte during his term ngayon. I hope mag continue yun this coming adminsitration. I also believe, the Australia, France, U.K. and U.S.are some the countries that we should trust even a bit more rather than China and Russia who are led by Communism. Aside from China, being a bully to us and stealing our sovereign rights in the WPS.
@@kamiya-samaselitevampiresキング Really? Do you even know how many Filipinos are in the US and how much remittances they are sending?! You even learned to commmunicate in English. PH could have been better if we had good leaders and people! PH started to develop but Filipinos weren't able to sustain it.
Funfact: After the US nuclear bombings on Japan the Filipino people sent lots of food and supplies to help Japan after World War 2. Japan in return helped rebuild the Phillipines. The Filipinos are a beautifully kind and forgiving people. They recognized Japanese people had also suffered in the war and were victims of militarism by their own regime.
Japan is our true friend they are always here in time of needy we have several calamities and japan support as always even in our infrastructures in nation building and economy
Yeah... Japanese are mostly friendly to Pinoys compared to Koreans and Chinese who are more so boastful and have humiliating perspectives among Filipinos.
I think we don't hate japan as they have helped us a lot more. I didn't experience the time of the japanese invasion but my grandmother who experienced it first hand do not harbor any hatred towards them. She always talks fondly of the time and laughs at trials. She also asks me some japanese words that I might know since I'm studying japanese. Hope the same could be said for Korea/S. Koreans who still are angry at japan yet their country rose up in the world because of the help of japan.
The thing is that China and S.Korea uses history as a political tool. Whenever a party gets unpopular they’ll always use the bitter memories of the grandfathers and grandmothers to gain more votes.
Japan should also fund the reconstruction of Intramuros and the intangible loss of culture and heritage during the Battle of Manila. iirc, Though the PH was obliged to recieve the biggest amount of reparations from Japan after the war, most went to infrastructure and little to none went to heritage and architecture reconstruction. Now only 2 churches remain in Intramuros, 70 years after.
I think Japan made the reparation already(way back 1950's and 1960's)for its wartime destruction. No need to renew its reparation,It's already the resposibility of the local administration of those decades who handled the reparation money(We hope most were not extorted by corrupt politicians of those times)...
@@charlesdiputado28 Yes, it was an agreement made in 1956 with about 550 million in aid and services provided which actually started out as an 8 billion claim by then president Elpidio Quirino in 1951. Although the video skips it, Quirino's role in modern PH-JP relations cannot be understated because of his decision to pardon all japanese POW in the Philippines starting at the end of his term in 1953. He did make it a point that he be the last one to pardon the last POW. "I should be the last one to pardon them as the Japanese killed my wife and three children and five other members of the family. I am doing this because I do not want my children and my people to inherit from me hate for people who might yet be our friends for the permanent interest of the country. After all, destiny has made us neighbors." That said, aside from PH, both Indonesia and Malaysia have a high regard for Japan from recent surveys which is in direct contrast with folks in South Korea and mainland China.
For a commoner like me... It's always been about soft power. Ask Filipinos what they think of Japan, most probably would say the highest quality appliances. South Korea and US have that soft power too. Probably because of KPop and US pop culture. This explains why most pro-China Filipinos are mostly based their perception of China from Chinese propaganda. China is just building soft power however what pop culture are they going to present us? China's soft power is currently based on the promotion of authoritarianism that democracy doesn't lift people from poverty and China has lifted their people from poverty which is not at all true btw.
Despite japanese atrocities to my country during WW2 Im very grateful to their contribution specifically developing Philippines countryside and road infrastructure..morever their anime like hentai and Naruto is too amazing 😍😍😍😍 ..thank you Japan..just like Naruto ... Japan will be Philippines forever friends..
The Japanese soldiers and civilians themselves were victims of their regime's militarism. They brainwashed and guided the Japanese people towards death and destruction. Filipino people forgave the Japanese and sent food and supplies to Japan after the nuclear bombs were dropped on them by the USA.
President FERDINAND MARCOS SR said forget about the past and never talk about that. japan is our best friend and partner. that'sthe reason why 95% of Filipino's is pro Japanese.
What are you saying? It was president manuel quezon who said that and was also the reason why Philippines and Japan have a good relationship in the past years.
@@kyleterry5190 yeah, I was wrong about that. Lagi akong nalilito dun sa pagrescue ni manuel quezon sa mga jewish noong ww2. But still it was not marcos who forgive the Japanese. It was elpidio quirino not marcos Sr.
How I hope that Philippines and Japan is a one country , for their good heart to help the Filipinos who are living in Japan! I'm a single mom , I know how Japan helped every Filipinos single mom or dad !
because we love what we don't have or should i say we lack ... like cleanliness discipline etc. and Japan is a very good example of that we don't really hold any grudge about the past it will only lead to nowhere so ... #worldpeace 🙏🏻
I love Japan!!! The Japanese have proven time and time again their integrity. With integrity comes trust! And btw, as a One Piece hardcore fan, loved to see ODA's name appear here though actually pun was not intended. Hahahaha
South Korea: We suffered a lot under Japanese invasion. >:( Philippines: We also experienced that but we are still promoting Japanese culture as a sign of friendship. :) Philippines was colonized by: Spanish - 300+ years America - 48 years Japan - 3 years And Philippine people still gives a fair treatment for everyone, they continue being hospitable, and nice to Foreigners. We should be matured, spreading peace is more better than spreading hate and racism. FACT no1: The former president of south Korea, Park Chung-Hee. He was high rank military officer of imperial Japanese army. FACT no2: Hong Sa-ik (Korean) was class A war criminal and one of highest ranking general in the imperial Japanese army stationed in Philippines. He was the one causing massive suffering for Filipinos during WW2. FACT no3: There were 240,000 Korean soldiers (including 9 Korean generals. Yes NINE, 9 Korean generals) in the imperial Japanese army. FACT no4: The only Korean who actually fought for Korean independence was Kim il sung. Yes the founding father of North Korea. Yeah! That North Korea. FACT no5: A lot of the Imperial Japanese soldiers during the occupation of the Philippines were actually kind and friendly with the local civilians and even mingled and socialized with the Filipinos and even protected them from collateral damage when fighting the guerillas. Many Filipinos often stated it was mostly the Korean Conscripts who were often sadistic and cruel bayoneting Filipino babies, raping women and little girls, and engaging in massacres of civilians in the Philippines and burning Filipinos in buildings. History is funny like that. Things aren't black and white. History is full of ugly shades of grey! Most Japanese soldiers were good and decent men who were inhumanely brainwashed and forced to fight for an evil regime and just followed orders! A lot of Korean conscripts in the Imperial Army during the Second Sino Japanese War and World War 2 were sadistic and brutal murderers yet they don't represent most Korean conscripts in World War 2! Not every Japanese soldier was bad and not every American soldier was good. Good and evil fights on both sides. As a Korean myself I want to tell my fellow Asians in the Philippines that I love you all just as I love my fellow Asians in China, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and even North Korea. I hope we can all stop with this divide between out people's and that Korea can one day be reunited.
Main reason Japan Attack Philippines was due to 48 years of America's Military expansionism and occupation of the island. The US have placed so bases all over the Island and tried to integrate the local population to bolster their ground forces in Asia. Philippines became collateral damage and natural casualty of this war between this 2 super powers during that time. Without outside forces interference and militarization, Japan and Philippines have very similar family oriented culture. Easy to integrate back together in peace time and well suited to be natural friends and ally as they have been for centuries. Now a fair warning, It has the similarities in the current situation, with the tension between China and the US. China does not hate the Philippines or have any compunction of invading it, but the US military bases there can trigger a military strike if they do go to war. Get those American bases out and tell them to go home or go somewhere else far away from the Philippines.
But US military bases are long gone from the Philippines, the reason US is in the Philippines is only due to visitation agreement. But US doesn't have permanent bases in the country anymore, areas like Clark for example has become a city and the airport used for military is now used for international airport for passengers and commercial. Then PAF is also borrowing it for their own use as well. The relationship between Philippine and China is complicated. Though China doesn't really think Philippines is their enemy or their competitor, but the issue is their action in the territories makes the Philippines really cautions from them, which will just push them to US for alliance. Not to mention that Philippines still have defence pact with the US, so it is their natural ally. The situation is really complicated, and this is why geopolitics is a sensitive issue that administration has to really calculate the best action it can take for whatever is available.
You have no idea what you are talking about! Do you even know how many Filipinos are in the US and how much remittances they are sending to PH?! You even had the nerve to speak in English. Compare that to what you are getting from the Chinese! They are even getting richer from PH resources! Wth. China is planning to control the entire Western Pacific!
@@kornkernel2232 There are 5 US Bases currently operating in the Philippines and another 20 special facilities operating all over. 9,000 military personell at any given time can bolstered easly to 50,000. 7th fleet is always around the area, with other visiting forces and do repairs for all the assigned asian fleets.
The San Juanico Bridge is the longest bridge built in the Philippines, designed to bridge the Samar and Leyte provinces. The Marcelo Fernan bridge in Cebu (bridges Mainland Cebu and Mactan Island) was built using Japan ODA.
I'm glad they're helping now after what they've done during ww2 And the US calling itself our ally but didn't helped the Philippines after the ww2 and instead helped the aggressor Japan because of its strategic location against the Soviet Union during Cold war
Actually the investment of Japan in Philippines is just a little compared to Indonesia, Vietnam and india, also American invested in neighborhoods of Philippines like India, Indonesia and Vietnam ,American sobotage tourism industry of Philippines, America avoiding investing in the Philippines because USA want to keep Philippines poor so that they can control the Philippines using oligarchs and currupt politicians, but the good thing is Philippines is waking up from American propaganda. That's why Americans didn't succeed in 2 consecutive elections in the Philippines. Surprising that the Philippines is the strongest economy among Aseans countries, without American help, and Europeans. We have miraculous economy, God has granted us a strong leader to waking up in nighmares of American propaganda.
Despite what happened in ww2 and the atrocities conducted towards the Philippines, Japan has since apologized and made up for it by helping the Philippines to technologically develop. Japan is one of the most reliable partners of the Philippines.
We also cannot ignore the fact that their JAV and Anime industries helped Japan improve its relationship and reputation with the Filipino people. We love both of them. :)
Listen , as Japan and Korea's demographics is getting older and Philippines has one of the sweetest demographic spot it only make sense that Japan and Korea will have a loving economic relationship almost ecosymbiotic relationship with the Philippines. Instead of immigration the Philippines can be an economic extension and hub for both. Filipinos love Japan and Korea.
Just sharing my opinion guys for the country. Its up to you what you think about it. What the felipinos love. China. NO GO. Korea. Like. US. like. JAPAN. SUPER LIKE
I don't know but yes their brutally is in our history books and school textbooks. But, no one teaches us to bear hatred to them. People seems like they just want to look into the future and not in the past.
In my opinion, the Philippines need a one of the biggest foreign economic benefactor(Japan is among them)for its economy to sustain and to survive from setbacks. The world knows the Japan's wartime action in 2nd World War but everybody knows the world will moved on and the past is no longer liable to the present. Japan is among the reliable assistant to the Philippines economic progress🇵🇭✋🇯🇵
Very true. Unfortunately, some administrations had politicized and preferred Chinese investments over the Japanese where the former even has a bigger interests. Wth.
The Philippines has an enormous birth rate. And a high mortality for the elderly. 85% - 90% of the current population was born after 1945... to almost all Filipinos Japan is pokemon, dragon ball Z, and anime. But the rare 90-year old you will find hidden in the mountains that lived through the war are still vehemently anti japanese
Phillipine Is Very Basic Country. "WHEN YOU LOVE PHILIPPINES AND FILIPINO PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURE MOSTLY CHANCES ARE THEY WILL LOVE Y'ALL BACK TRIPLE." FOR EXAMPLE SOUTH KOREA OR EVEN CHINA WELL 50/50 FOR CHINA BUT LOOK WE CELEBRATE CHINESE NEW YEAR AND ALMOST OUR FOOD INSPIRED NY CHINESE, JAPANESE AND SPANISH.
when we saw how sincere Japanese People asking for our forgiveness on what they done during occupation and war crimes... Filipino still holds GRudges and anger if they still alive or still not ask for forgiveness.
Simple, they apologized not just through words but also in action. Perhaps Japan's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere can be still be achieved other than war.
Filipinos in general aren't known to hold grudges when it comes to historical events, and despite the twisted concept behind Japan's invasion, and while it's clear that they did so because of American occupation of the country as their bigger target at that specific time, they apparently did it to free Filipinos from western influence. They knew that Philippines was colonized for more than three hundred years, and so they justified their actions that Asia is better governed by their country, instead of western nations. It's like a two-sided coin, where on one side, it was first and foremost a war and therefore, with wreckage and casualties, but on the other, there was concern, or sympathy towards Filipinos.
Philippines love japan because of voltes V, daimos, bioman, shaider, mask rider black.,😁😁 ang all anime like samurai x., gandam.,evangelion pokemon, one piece.,
Japan have already apologized for many times and has been showing sincerity by helping us economically building our nation. They were also the first ones to help when calamity hits. So why hate someone who shows sincerity towards you?
another example of Filipinos forgetting the past. I guess I appreciate that japan has been helping the country out in the pass years. but I still hope they would apologize for the atrocities they done to our people.
May Johnny Harris na " How the US stole the Philippines". Pero superficial ng mga topic hindi sya in-depth. Kung ifefeature nya kasi dito sa channel, out of topic na
japanese cruel attitude during ww2 is normal because its a war and thats normal.. they sincerely make an apology not by words but by heart and action.. i rather favored japan winning the war, philippines would probably progressive today.
Philippines should solve fast the problems on energy & other infra in order to FURTHER fast track Japanese investments. Then take partnership to a different level such as rescuing a fading Japanese electronics brand like Xperia against heavy world competition: Japan will set up manufacturing facilities in the Philippines to compete against cheap Chinese phones, or Philippines help inject investments to Xperia to increase chances such joint venture a reality. Imagine an Xperia phone cheaper than Chinese high-end phone
one of the reason I guess why the Philippine and Japan relation become like this was because of the late Philippine President Elpidio Quirino decision in 1953 when he pardon 103 Japanese war criminals. "The Presidential clemency defied expectations and the prevailing anti-Japanese sentiment at that time. President Quirino suffered devastating personal loss during the war, with his wife and three children being felled by Japanese bullets as they fled their home during the 1945 Battle of Manila. President Quirino’s grant of executive clemency was also seen as an act of conviction and courage, coming a mere eight years after the war’s end, with Filipino resentment and anger against the Japanese remaining deep-seated." “I have extended executive clemency to Japanese war prisoners serving terms in the Philippines not as an amnesty which requires concurrence of the Philippine Congress. “I should be the last one to pardon them as the Japanese killed my wife and three children and five other members of the family. I am doing this because I do not want my children and my people to inherit from me hate for people who might yet be our friends for the permanent interest of the country. After all, destiny has made us neighbors. “I am happy to have been able to make this spontaneous decision as the head of a Christian nation. My fervent hope is that the benevolent feeling which has inspired me will strike a responsive chord in others as an act of faith to humanity. Love of fellow creatures will always be the supreme law among men and nations and the basis of world peace.” - President Elpidio Quirino (Baltimore, U.S.A., July 6, 1953)
Elpidio Quirino and Ramon Magsaysay the TRUE best president from a golden age that the Philippines have not the theiving, corrupt dictator for 20 years.
You can thank former president Quirino for the current relationship of this two countries. Without this prudents and will to not let grudge be carried over by the next generation, this President has lead Philippines in forgiveness and reconcillation, the Filipino would view Japan similar to how South Koreans view Japan.
Late philippine president QUIRINO once said "I should be the last one to pardon them as the Japanese killed my wife and three children and five other members of the family. I am doing this because I do not want my children and my people to inherit from me hate for people who might yet be our friends for the permanent interest of the country. After all, destiny has made us neighbors."
*Japan must now reconquer the Phillipines 🇵🇭... Only then will the Japanese economy rejuvenate, Japan 🇯🇵 must know that it's entirely possible to collapse superposed wave particles into classical definite particles ....*
We Filipino dont hold grudges we learn to forgive and we are very hospitable. During wars and conflict Vietnamese, russians and even jewish people who need shelter we welcome them to our land when other country won't and we like anime 😆😆
The Japan-Philippines "special relationship" is seen as a economic partnership that has seen tremendous benefits. Do you think that Japan is investing in the Philippines because of their history? Let us know down below!
I think this is there way of saying sorry
If we look how SouthKorea and Japan's relationship is..

I agree Kuya
I think one of the reasons why the majority of the Filipinos don't hold grudge against the Japanese is because it's already in the past, most of those Japanese who occupied the Philippines is already dead. The Japanese that we know on this generation is not the one who destroyed the country, it's their ancestors. They might be connected, but we shall never blame someone who never did us wrong. Yeah, i get it that they belong to the same nationality/country, but if we're going to be mad at them, What's the gain? Afterall Filipinos are known as one of the kindest people in the world. But don't get me wrong, Filipinos could easily forgive someone, but we'll never forget.
I'm hoping for the come back of the forgotten tiger of Asia, The Philippines.
Japanese had to do what it had to do to kicked the Western countries control out of Asia. The west controlled 80 percent of Asia before ww2. Meaning we cannot trade with our neighboring countries without thier permission. It had to be done. Now I think 95 percent of Asia is controlled by Asians. Isn't that beautiful. Asians controlling thier countries at last.
Its happening, in many observable ways. Not only in manila but countrywide, improvements and building infrastructure everywhere, every city and just about every province. Between all the other developing asean conference nations, were one of the hottest emerging economies in asia besides China, if not the world. Phillipines gdp is on track to increase by another steady 6-7 % per year, total output nearing 500 billion and increasing. Along with china, phillipines is leading the world in green technology and initiatives. But warning to china: do not overstep our claim to our islands to the west of us, we have native tribal filipinos who live and fish in the floating villages at sea by those islands that's their home. Anyone whos ever done so we kicked them out. And even though the us would not credit the phillipines for fighting against the spaniards in front of the world, let it be known we had won against the colonizers. Let it be known northern luzon phillipines guerrillas like my lolo are who drove out the Japanese from our islands, not MacArthur who had to retreat to Australia. Anyways back to what im saying, as of summer 2022 i can report tourism is increasing and the building has no stop no end in sight. Manila Ncr is getting a new subway put in. Bulacan in the northand cavite to the south are both getting international airports, the one in cavite being built on reclaimed land, just as okada manila has, along with the entire new gaming area. many kababayas have not forgotten what theyve done to us, but now they're engineering all our infrastructure so its earthquake proof, and having cheap chinese labor do the building to stay within cost and meet our goals on track on time unlike America. Which is always built shoddy by the lowest contractor with European illegals using short cut methods jeopardizing the whole project, always finishing late overbudget. No our work ethic is better and were learning from the best at staying on time and hustling to meet those deadlines...
A word about that other 12% that do not approve of the Japanese or foreigners, I saw first hand in the province, like a reverse racism, a sign stating Japanese and white foreigners sit here and filipinos and other asians or customers sit inside. I guess that small restaurant made it a point to serve the filipino locals and families first in the ac, then attend to foreigners and Japanese outside. Coming from the usa this was a surprise to see, but I remained respectful and did not question it and ate inside quickly and moved on.... although most are not like this, theres still some places that do... so watch yourselves and your conduct, its your meal ticket in general in the phillipines. Nutrition is improving too, traveling back in my teens or 20s, i was taller than most people there by a large margin, im 5'9 which is tall for se asia. But when i visited this year, i was just avg. Many young guys even some girls now are very tall, even younger cousins in my family there, my lil cuz shes just as tall as me. And her mom had gotten taller too, im no longer tallest in the family...
Fyi the soldiers that entered the country during Japanese occupation were koreans from south korea

so many filipino changed their life from poverty because of working in japan, many japanese companies also built their buiseness in the country giving so many jobs
I'm thankful for the infrastructures being built especially the Manila to Clark railway project since it has been on hold for around 12 years and now it's scheduled to be operational in 2024.
not to forget the Subway
True! But instead of taking advantage of Japanese offer of infrastructure development, some administrations are even politicizing and preferred Chinese offer with bigger interests!
it is because japan helps without interfering in the philippines internal policies. in contrast with the US even with decades of relationship tends to interfere on national policies and politics. china also has decades of relations with the philippines but with hidden interests and agendas.
Honestly this US is so wanting to manipulate other countries... Why can't they just focus on there own country? Like the recent gunfire in Texas school several kids killed because of it and Biden promises nothing like that would happen... What a huge embarrassment for him.
I am a Filipina, and ever since I was young I really admired Japan. I grew up watching animes and be friends with some Japanese who studies english here. I can say that they also really love Philippines. And for us Filipinos, what happened in the past remains in the past. What matters the most is the amazing friend we had with the Japan right now.
I also grew up watching pokemon and attack on titan

I love Japan as they help the Philippines grow in terms of economy. Let's forget the past and move on together for a better nation. Japan- Philippines relationship grows even stronger. God bless to both countries.
Japan funded the revolution of the Filipinos against Spain and even supplied the weaponries but soon later found out by the Spaniards. Japan didn't pursue taking Philippines from Spain in the late 1800's to early 1900's as it's busy annexing Korea and Manchuria, China as its territories following their win with the Russia-Japan war in the early 1900's and because Japan knew another superpower- U.S.A. eyed the Philippines in taking over as its new colonial master.
Reason why is because their imperialist government. While the Meiji supported the Philippine revolutionary war, Showa viewed us as a thorn in their imperial japanese expansionism due to the fact that it was an American puppet at that time.
I hate to be the guy but can you back that up with a source?
Never knew about that, might be an interesting read.
What is your source? What is your basis? I never heard any of dealing or connection with the katipuneros and with any Japanese entity.

JAPAN shows sincerity about being a real allies to the Philippines, it’s like a commitment relationship and they proved themselves very well, i love my Japan friends so much 🥰
i love japan, i hope i can visit there someday.
The irony is that some Filipinos condemn Japan for its past atrocities in the Philippines while praising the United States. It's interesting to note that were it not for the presence of Americans, the Japanese would have not invaded the Philippines, at least in the point of view of president Duterte. Japan along with China, South Korea and Israel have contributed a lot to the nation building of the Philippines. They deserve the gratitude of the Filipino people. On the other hand, our very own treaty ally treats us like a lapdog as if we're still their colony. They want us to be their pawn and military outpost for their future (proxy) war against China. Where's the rationality there? Wake up Filipinos!
My thought as well.
Well we really need the support of us now cause if taiwan falls our last defense towards china's expansion to Southeast asia will be much more
@@tkcabasan2521 Actually the philippines was once a superpower in Asia, when the Aquino's went into power from Corazon to noynoy everything has changed for the worst, the AFP was left behind by other asean nations when it come to upgrading it's military, it's hard to put the trust to the US when it comes to defending the philippines even if there's a signed treaty, because every country that they intervened turned into ruble, like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine etc, no one will die for the country except the filipino people.

As a Filipino, I agree that most of the Filipinos are Pro-Japan. Personally, I trust Japan the most, followed by the U.S. and South Korea respectively. These countries has always been there for us.

@@ourhourore1500 in my opinion, i don't think na may puppet. Depende siguro sa international relations policy. The Philippines has been an ally to U.S. after gaining again the independence after the WW2. Duterte on the other hand has different policy where he is more China friendly, China kasi is bully sa Philippines lalo sa mga mangingisda natin so I don't trust Chinese government at all. The Philippines struggled because of the government policies. Yung economy natin is nag start lang umangat ng malaki when PNOY became President, na ipinagpatuloy rin ni Duterte during his term ngayon. I hope mag continue yun this coming adminsitration.
I also believe, the Australia, France, U.K. and U.S.are some the countries that we should trust even a bit more rather than China and Russia who are led by Communism. Aside from China, being a bully to us and stealing our sovereign rights in the WPS.
Except US, I don't trust US.
@@kamiya-samaselitevampiresキング Really? Do you even know how many Filipinos are in the US and how much remittances they are sending?! You even learned to commmunicate in English.

US = manggagamit
🇯🇵❤🇵🇭 *JAPAN & the PHILIPPINES*
Funfact: After the US nuclear bombings on Japan the Filipino people sent lots of food and supplies to help Japan after World War 2. Japan in return helped rebuild the Phillipines. The Filipinos are a beautifully kind and forgiving people. They recognized Japanese people had also suffered in the war and were victims of militarism by their own regime.
Filipinos have biggest trust in japan both economic and infrastructure, than their own ally like US and UN, and I couldn’t blame them 😂
As a FILIPINO, You are right
Japan is our true friend they are always here in time of needy we have several calamities and japan support as always even in our infrastructures in nation building and economy
CHICLAYO PERU 🇵🇪 🤝 🇯🇵 🇵🇭
Yeah... Japanese are mostly friendly to Pinoys compared to Koreans and Chinese who are more so boastful and have humiliating perspectives among Filipinos.
Very informative, I never knew Japan wanted to Buy Philippines from Spain.
I think we don't hate japan as they have helped us a lot more. I didn't experience the time of the japanese invasion but my grandmother who experienced it first hand do not harbor any hatred towards them. She always talks fondly of the time and laughs at trials. She also asks me some japanese words that I might know since I'm studying japanese. Hope the same could be said for Korea/S. Koreans who still are angry at japan yet their country rose up in the world because of the help of japan.
The thing is that China and S.Korea uses history as a political tool. Whenever a party gets unpopular they’ll always use the bitter memories of the grandfathers and grandmothers to gain more votes.
Japan should also fund the reconstruction of Intramuros and the intangible loss of culture and heritage during the Battle of Manila.
iirc, Though the PH was obliged to recieve the biggest amount of reparations from Japan after the war, most went to infrastructure and little to none went to heritage and architecture reconstruction. Now only 2 churches remain in Intramuros, 70 years after.
the US bomb manila not japan.,
I think Japan made the reparation already(way back 1950's and 1960's)for its wartime destruction. No need to renew its reparation,It's already the resposibility of the local administration of those decades who handled the reparation money(We hope most were not extorted by corrupt politicians of those times)...
@@charlesdiputado28 Yes, it was an agreement made in 1956 with about 550 million in aid and services provided which actually started out as an 8 billion claim by then president Elpidio Quirino in 1951. Although the video skips it, Quirino's role in modern PH-JP relations cannot be understated because of his decision to pardon all japanese POW in the Philippines starting at the end of his term in 1953.
He did make it a point that he be the last one to pardon the last POW. "I should be the last one to pardon them as the Japanese killed my wife and three children and five other members of the family. I am doing this because I do not want my children and my people to inherit from me hate for people who might yet be our friends for the permanent interest of the country. After all, destiny has made us neighbors."
That said, aside from PH, both Indonesia and Malaysia have a high regard for Japan from recent surveys which is in direct contrast with folks in South Korea and mainland China.
Were asking too much if we keep asking for more japan might see us abusing their money
@@restartedv69 Somebody already abused it and his son is now leading the country. Wth.
Search the internet for Marcos Japanese ODA Scandal.
For a commoner like me... It's always been about soft power. Ask Filipinos what they think of Japan, most probably would say the highest quality appliances. South Korea and US have that soft power too. Probably because of KPop and US pop culture. This explains why most pro-China Filipinos are mostly based their perception of China from Chinese propaganda. China is just building soft power however what pop culture are they going to present us? China's soft power is currently based on the promotion of authoritarianism that democracy doesn't lift people from poverty and China has lifted their people from poverty which is not at all true btw.
that's what china is lacking, no culture to import unlike US, Japan and even South Korea, hell they're even scared to open up their own yards.
Despite japanese atrocities to my country during WW2 Im very grateful to their contribution specifically developing Philippines countryside and road infrastructure..morever their anime like hentai and Naruto is too amazing 😍😍😍😍 ..thank you Japan..just like Naruto ... Japan will be Philippines forever friends..
The Japanese soldiers and civilians themselves were victims of their regime's militarism. They brainwashed and guided the Japanese people towards death and destruction. Filipino people forgave the Japanese and sent food and supplies to Japan after the nuclear bombs were dropped on them by the USA.
President FERDINAND MARCOS SR said forget about the past and never talk about that. japan is our best friend and partner. that'sthe reason why 95% of Filipino's is pro Japanese.
What are you saying? It was president manuel quezon who said that and was also the reason why Philippines and Japan have a good relationship in the past years.
That was definitely not marcos, it was Elpidio Quirino who stated that
@@jackdestroyer9339 why would a person who died during the peak of wwII say to forgive the japanese?

Japan also supports and help Filipino soldiers during the Fil-American war. Japan sent military advisers to help Aguinaldo during the war.
ADB is in Pasig Ortigas Center. At least that's my condo's address which is just across the ADB building.
South Korea: We suffered a lot under Japanese invasion. >:(
Philippines: We also experienced that but we are still promoting Japanese culture as a sign of friendship. :)
Philippines was colonized by:
Spanish - 300+ years
America - 48 years
Japan - 3 years
And Philippine people still gives a fair treatment for everyone, they continue being hospitable, and nice to Foreigners. We should be matured, spreading peace is more better than spreading hate and racism.
FACT no1:
The former president of south Korea, Park Chung-Hee. He was high rank military officer of imperial Japanese army.
FACT no2:
Hong Sa-ik (Korean) was class A war criminal and one of highest ranking general in the imperial Japanese army stationed in Philippines. He was the one causing massive suffering for Filipinos during WW2.
FACT no3:
There were 240,000 Korean soldiers (including 9 Korean generals. Yes NINE, 9 Korean generals) in the imperial Japanese army.
FACT no4:
The only Korean who actually fought for Korean independence was Kim il sung. Yes the founding father of North Korea. Yeah! That North Korea.
FACT no5:
A lot of the Imperial Japanese soldiers during the occupation of the Philippines were actually kind and friendly with the local civilians and even mingled and socialized with the Filipinos and even protected them from collateral damage when fighting the guerillas. Many Filipinos often stated it was mostly the Korean Conscripts who were often sadistic and cruel bayoneting Filipino babies, raping women and little girls, and engaging in massacres of civilians in the Philippines and burning Filipinos in buildings.
History is funny like that. Things aren't black and white. History is full of ugly shades of grey! Most Japanese soldiers were good and decent men who were inhumanely brainwashed and forced to fight for an evil regime and just followed orders! A lot of Korean conscripts in the Imperial Army during the Second Sino Japanese War and World War 2 were sadistic and brutal murderers yet they don't represent most Korean conscripts in World War 2! Not every Japanese soldier was bad and not every American soldier was good. Good and evil fights on both sides. As a Korean myself I want to tell my fellow Asians in the Philippines that I love you all just as I love my fellow Asians in China, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and even North Korea. I hope we can all stop with this divide between out people's and that Korea can one day be reunited.
Main reason Japan Attack Philippines was due to 48 years of America's Military expansionism and occupation of the island. The US have placed so bases all over the Island and tried to integrate the local population to bolster their ground forces in Asia. Philippines became collateral damage and natural casualty of this war between this 2 super powers during that time. Without outside forces interference and militarization, Japan and Philippines have very similar family oriented culture. Easy to integrate back together in peace time and well suited to be natural friends and ally as they have been for centuries. Now a fair warning, It has the similarities in the current situation, with the tension between China and the US. China does not hate the Philippines or have any compunction of invading it, but the US military bases there can trigger a military strike if they do go to war. Get those American bases out and tell them to go home or go somewhere else far away from the Philippines.
But US military bases are long gone from the Philippines, the reason US is in the Philippines is only due to visitation agreement. But US doesn't have permanent bases in the country anymore, areas like Clark for example has become a city and the airport used for military is now used for international airport for passengers and commercial. Then PAF is also borrowing it for their own use as well.
The relationship between Philippine and China is complicated. Though China doesn't really think Philippines is their enemy or their competitor, but the issue is their action in the territories makes the Philippines really cautions from them, which will just push them to US for alliance. Not to mention that Philippines still have defence pact with the US, so it is their natural ally. The situation is really complicated, and this is why geopolitics is a sensitive issue that administration has to really calculate the best action it can take for whatever is available.

Good comment about the philippines
I'm glad they're helping now after what they've done during ww2
And the US calling itself our ally but didn't helped the Philippines after the ww2 and instead helped the aggressor Japan because of its strategic location against the Soviet Union during Cold war
Actually the investment of Japan in Philippines is just a little compared to Indonesia, Vietnam and india, also American invested in neighborhoods of Philippines like India, Indonesia and Vietnam ,American sobotage tourism industry of Philippines, America avoiding investing in the Philippines because USA want to keep Philippines poor so that they can control the Philippines using oligarchs and currupt politicians, but the good thing is Philippines is waking up from American propaganda. That's why Americans didn't succeed in 2 consecutive elections in the Philippines.
Surprising that the Philippines is the strongest economy among Aseans countries, without American help, and Europeans.
We have miraculous economy, God has granted us a strong leader to waking up in nighmares of American propaganda.

Listen , as Japan and Korea's demographics is getting older and Philippines has one of the sweetest demographic spot it only make sense that Japan and Korea will have a loving economic relationship almost ecosymbiotic relationship with the Philippines.

In my opinion, the Philippines need a one of the biggest foreign economic benefactor(Japan is among them)for its economy to sustain and to survive from setbacks. The world knows the Japan's wartime action in 2nd World War but everybody knows the world will moved on and the past is no longer liable to the present.

Very true. Unfortunately, some administrations had politicized and preferred Chinese investments over the Japanese where the former even has a bigger interests. Wth.
The Philippines has an enormous birth rate. And a high mortality for the elderly. 85% - 90% of the current population was born after 1945... to almost all Filipinos Japan is pokemon, dragon ball Z, and anime.

I don't view Japan negatively despite of the history. All I can see is they're a good friend and ally to the Philippines currently. Arigato Japan! ❤
As President Duterte put it "As I have said time and again, Japan is a friend closer than a brother,"
Phillipine Is Very Basic Country. "WHEN YOU LOVE PHILIPPINES AND FILIPINO PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURE MOSTLY CHANCES ARE THEY WILL LOVE Y'ALL BACK TRIPLE."
FOR EXAMPLE SOUTH KOREA OR EVEN CHINA WELL 50/50 FOR CHINA BUT LOOK WE CELEBRATE CHINESE NEW YEAR AND ALMOST OUR FOOD INSPIRED NY CHINESE, JAPANESE AND SPANISH.
when we saw how sincere Japanese People asking for our forgiveness on what they done during occupation and war crimes... Filipino still holds GRudges and anger if they still alive or still not ask for forgiveness.
Simple, they apologized not just through words but also in action. Perhaps Japan's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere can be still be achieved other than war.
We forgive but we never forget
Japan and the Philippines has been partners in trade and culture
about the First Part: its because filipinos have short term memories and the most important reason of them all: Anime and Manga!
Filipinos in general aren't known to hold grudges when it comes to historical events, and despite the twisted concept behind Japan's invasion, and while it's clear that they did so because of American occupation of the country as their bigger target at that specific time, they apparently did it to free Filipinos from western influence. They knew that Philippines was colonized for more than three hundred years, and so they justified their actions that Asia is better governed by their country, instead of western nations. It's like a two-sided coin, where on one side, it was first and foremost a war and therefore, with wreckage and casualties, but on the other, there was concern, or sympathy towards Filipinos.
Don’t blame Spain, blame the ppl governing Philippines like the corrupt friars and officials
I like the new voice.

Japan have already apologized for many times and has been showing sincerity by helping us economically building our nation. They were also the first ones to help when calamity hits. So why hate someone who shows sincerity towards you?
Because they are idiots who can't forgive the person who is wants forgiveness
The sincerity is the key to build a great foundation of trust.

Philippines should solve fast the problems on energy & other infra in order to FURTHER fast track Japanese investments. Then take partnership to a different level such as rescuing a fading Japanese electronics brand like Xperia against heavy world competition: Japan will set up manufacturing facilities in the Philippines to compete against cheap Chinese phones, or Philippines help inject investments to Xperia to increase chances such joint venture a reality. Imagine an Xperia phone cheaper than Chinese high-end phone
MAKE THE PHILIPPINES GREAT AGAIN 💖
Yes
one of the reason I guess why the Philippine and Japan relation become like this was because of the late Philippine President Elpidio Quirino decision in 1953 when he pardon 103 Japanese war criminals.
"The Presidential clemency defied expectations and the prevailing anti-Japanese sentiment at that time. President Quirino suffered devastating personal loss during the war, with his wife and three children being felled by Japanese bullets as they fled their home during the 1945 Battle of Manila. President Quirino’s grant of executive clemency was also seen as an act of conviction and courage, coming a mere eight years after the war’s end, with Filipino resentment and anger against the Japanese remaining deep-seated."
“I have extended executive clemency to Japanese war prisoners serving terms in the Philippines not as an amnesty which requires concurrence of the Philippine Congress.
“I should be the last one to pardon them as the Japanese killed my wife and three children and five other members of the family. I am doing this because I do not want my children and my people to inherit from me hate for people who might yet be our friends for the permanent interest of the country. After all, destiny has made us neighbors.
“I am happy to have been able to make this spontaneous decision as the head of a Christian nation. My fervent hope is that the benevolent feeling which has inspired me will strike a responsive chord in others as an act of faith to humanity. Love of fellow creatures will always be the supreme law among men and nations and the basis of world peace.”
- President Elpidio Quirino
(Baltimore, U.S.A., July 6, 1953)
Elpidio Quirino and Ramon Magsaysay the TRUE best president from a golden age that the Philippines have not the theiving, corrupt dictator for 20 years.

You can thank former president Quirino for the current relationship of this two countries. Without this prudents and will to not let grudge be carried over by the next generation, this President has lead Philippines in forgiveness and reconcillation, the Filipino would view Japan similar to how South Koreans view Japan.
