Fun fact: the US spent ungodly amount of money rebuilding Japan and Europe after World War II, but spent so little in reparations to the Philippines, it’s former colony. In fact, most of the “money” spent were old military equipments used in the war that is costly to bring back to the US. The US promised pension and citizenship to Filipinos who would fight for America during the war, but broke that promise soon after the war.
I don't care and your people do fight against a lunatic (Hitler) and the irony is that they do the same thing and it is to commit a fricking holocaust in the Philippines. Do you know how many Filipino Dies back then? The Population of the Philippines that time is approximately 10 million and the Americans killed around 3 million Filipinos, 30% of our population died in the hands of the OHH so GOOD AND GREAT COUNTRY OF YOURS.
Not just that America spent so little for the Philippines...please do not forget about the parity act.
@@goyonglo4807 I did mention that.

You are 100% WRONG! Have you visted subic bay and seen how it USED to be under American govenance and how it is now? Have you seen the old rail lines that trains actually RAN on and dont any more?
Philippines was not formerly called Mai. Mai is just one kingdom that existed within precolonial Philippines. The Mai kingdom existed along with other kingdoms such as Tondo and Sulu Sultanates.
The 8 kingdoms in pre col ph
Dinosaurs named it first.
3:50 actually the most spoken language as a first language is Mandarin and the second is Spanish, and the third is English, but in total number of speakers counting natives and non-native speakers the most spoken language is English
English is Nr 1, mandarin 2nd and Spanish 3rd. English (1.132 million speakers), Mandarin (1.117 million speakers), Spanish (534 million speakers)
hmm
There are some factual errors made by Mr Harris the vlog creator. History professor Kirby Araullo posted his own reaction video that corrects those errors.
Yeah that is much better than this one hahahahahaha
That is true, Sir Kirby know more about the Pre colonial Philippines
Yeah. They should react to it too. Part 2
@@Cjjj_1997 but he's a Kapampangan Bias. Kase Kapampangan sya.
But this is nearly fact
GUAM was part of the Philippine island chain under Spain (Spaniard map and documents shows Guam as a PH island), but the US kept Guam when it gave PH it's independence. Historically, Guam is part of Philippines.
same can be said of northern marianas, palau, fs of micronesia, marshall islands, these places were part of the spanish east indies governed from manila, but it can also be likened to the spanish east indies reporting directly to mexico city as being under nueva españa, which itself reported to madrid.
Its good thing that he tackled the history and culture that we had in pre colonial past. Most of the people, including some filipinos only knew about the history after spanish arrived. Kudos to him!
He is wrong abiut the Ma’i though… Philippines is not called Ma’i since Ma’i is an old kingdom in Mindoro, Philippines and just one of the many Kingdoms and Sultanate in the Archipelago now called the Philippines today… there are other wrong info but overall it was a good video talking about this topic
@@gabri_19 Yeah he didn’t really focused on the precolonial part
Nah he just gave the pre colonial period a gold shoutout
@@hallooos7585 yuppp even historians won't call the Philippines other specific name since the entire archipelago was never unified to form a single identity... But I have heard about the name Maharlika dont know where they got inspiration to name the country Maharlika .. imma search it up later...
@@gabri_19 he's wrong on many things

A Filipino historian reacted to the video. The guy in this video got several minor mistakes but it is understandable. You guys can check his reaction. He corrected some information and talked more about history.
My apologies, but the US has been doing this for a long time. Afghanistan is a perfect example of when they recently pulled out. Cambodia, was another country in the middle of a conflict when the US also pulled out. They can't even win battles in our country fairly. Sorry, US pick fights where they can see they can gain something. You said your country has a dark past. Hmmm... Nope, they continue doing it. Again Afghanistan is one of the countries they invaded... Legally by saying they are helping the country, then pull out when there is no gain on the horizon.
And this is true. Check out the Treaty of Paris, where Spain sold the Philippines to the US.
Tbf its not just them but all countries do that
@@eurasiaacaci.-110 But at least another countries call it a spade as spade, collonialism. Not this whole shennanigan pretending to "liberate" people and riding on high moral horse.
@@dalfifran7572 that's because there's an economic incentive for the US to start & fight (mostly illegal) wars overseas but admitting that wouldn't fit their brand.
they almost did that to aceh indonesia :I
yea
MA'I was not a country it's just one of the kingdoms that exist during that time.
Ma’i , was what China call’s Mindoro Island.
According to someone "the pen is mightier tha the sword" and i would say " by a pen you can break or make someone's reputation". That is how media works.
Hold a sword and give john wick the pen.
We were "sold" for 20M dollars. Filipinos were denied participation in the negotiation. The Americans demanded the whole archipelago, as it would be troublesome for them if Spain would sell the rest of the islands to other countries. This was never taught in schools. Textbooks only mentioned Treaty of Paris but not its full details. So sad
Maybe now you can understand what african Americans have gone through in american history and any other place that colonisers have stepped their feet on. :no more talk"
There was a Hollywood movie titled "Amigo" which boldly depicts the real story of Philippine-American War. A "Hollywood movie" where Americans are not heroes. It personally opened my eyes to see the American occupation in the Philippines on a different light.
When I was a child, Filipino here by the way, I used love reading elementary history textbooks stored into our shelves as my mother taught history too to 4th to 6th graders. There I had the impressions that Spanish occupation was a total nightmare for our ancestors, while American occupation was mostly liberal and benevolent bringing democracy, modern technology, and more efficient education to the country, and that the occupation ended through a peaceful taking over of powers when they saw Filipinos are already prepared and equipped to govern on their own. The story, of course, as I later found out is way more and complex than that.
Incredibly enough, it would take "one hollywood movie" to make me doubt what I used to read from the books and further research for more truths. The movie even came first before Filipino movies like Heneral Luna and Goyo were produced which also meticulously depicted the situation at that time.
Don't look to Hollywood for history. My filipina wife and friends want desperately to come to the USA. The older filipinos say why didn't we stay with the USA are lives would have been better. Not Hollywood just facts.
Please react to "Henerel Luna" trailer it's all about the story of Heneral luna and about the philippine-American war
Unfortunately, the movie contradicts many of the written eyewitness accounts in print. Don't depend on just the movie but read the books.
The maker of this movie research more than books that we can read.
amen
Iam glad that the truth in the Philippine history is getting revealed.
Fact: The US cut the oil supply of Japan. Because they are alarmed by the aggressive advancing of Japanese through South East Asia. Japanese want their hands on the rich oil reserves in the South East Asia to advance their troops. They're planning on liberating the Philippines but it was under American territory. Their plan was to bomb Pearl Harbor, making the US unable to counterattack as they liberate the Philippines, then secure the oil supply in the region.
Btw, Philippines was under US (Commonwealth Government), not Philippines having own government and US checking like what Phezz said. Philippines was never independent.
Here's something I found: The Philippines is made up of the Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao group of islands. Spain has yet to conquer Mindanao due to the fierce resistance of the Moro. But when Spain "lost" the war, they included Mindanao as part of the deal despite the fact they never got Mindanao in the first place.
It was weird when Spain exiled Jose Rizal to Dapitan. Like, how do you exile a person to a place that's still within the country? Dapitan is in the Philippines. Unless...Dapitan, which is in Mindanao, was not part of the country in the first place.
They have a lot of "enclaves" like Zamboanga, Surigao, Cagayan de oro, Davao ect. especially Zamboanga being the most populated that time as it wasn't just a town but also as a land and naval fortress. The naval forces based there serve as deterrent against pirates and also to ferry troops to any coastal settlements that are under siege/raid and also as reinforcements if needed when conquering other parts of Mindanao.
Yeah this was taught to us Pilipinos during Elem School. Mindanao was the only one who weren't conquered during the time of the Spanish. That's why their language is rather different to Luzon Pilipinos since Mindanao Pilipinos weren't influenced so much by the Spanish whereas Luzon Pilipinos were the most influenced.
yeah how can you invade mindanao if part of Malaysia(under British colony) is under the sultanate of Sulo?
@@carjdmfan8975 because Mindanao along with Borneo was owned by Philippine Sultanate.
This is 7 months comment but I want to add that Luzon is never fully conquered by Spaniards they didn't conquer the Cordillera Regions that's why the Igorots kept their traditions.
No MA'I is the name of the kingdom from our province MINDORO but not the name of the entire island.
nah, there was no centralized government prior to Spanish colonization in 1565. Filipinos are very regionalistic, or tribal that's why we have many different languages and customs. It is also because we are an archipelago so travelling from one island to another is not easy. Watch Kirby Araullo's vlog on clearing some of the errors in this video.
italy, japan etc is not centralize too...wtf!!!!!!!!!
The reason the Philippines was bombed and invaded by Japan is because it is under the US rule so don't justify why Americans ignored the Philippines when it was being invaded by Japan because US responded immediately to the calls of European countries that time. They sent thousands of soldiers to Europe but ignored the cries of Filipinos.
You are exactly right.. The Philippines was a colony so of course, it would be included in any war the United States goes into. Another sad abandonment is the fact that, they sent shitloads of troops and equipment to Europe to help England while not even sending shit to MacArthur in the Philippines who was pleading for help. America just left the Philippines conquered by Japan without even trying to help. even just try... but left with was was left (ammunitions, equipment and stuff).
F.Y.I During WW2 the Allied Powers(U.S,Great Britian,Soviet Union)decided to concentrate 1st the defeat of Germany in European theater of war(to stop the Nazi threat to the world).The U.S did not entirely ignored and abandoned the Philippines because it was only a minor priority in WW2 front.The U.S sacrificed many military servicemen including the Pacific war(along the Philippines).Seems in this comments many overlook the war front decision and actions of America during WW2 but they did not intentionally ignored the Philippines,it was because the decision of Allied Powers in fighting the Axis powers(Germany,Italy,Japan)...
@@charlesdiputado28 The Japanese is part of the Axis Power which affects a US colony, by the name of.. the Philippines.. why concentrate on one front only and let hell loose in your colony, where if not for being a colony, the Japanese would have be less cruel.
Have you heard of any battle or any war wherein Filipinos abandoned their allies? I guess there's NONE .. If you are an ally, Filipinos will fight alongside you , and only death can separate you.
Regardless, PHL was a sovereign or ruled under by any nation other than US, Japan would have invaded due empire expansion(Ex: Manchuria, Korea...etc.) and vast natural resources in which PHL has, but US is standing in its way.
As a Filipino, This was taught to us but not in an elaborate way.
Yes, I agree. Please watch "Heneral Luna", this is very good narrative about this.
This is very painful past of our nation and as a Filipino, when I am watching this, I can help myself but to cry because I am thinking about what if Spaniards and American did not do this, for sure, we have our own culture, political system, educational system, colonizers kill our nation's soul perhaps. 🇵🇭😥
The american-filipino war was more bloody than vietnam war that the americans covered up. It was a war riddled with warcrimes.
Right. The history books were written by the Victors. One example is the Bud Dajo massacre. There are many more like killing young boys in Balangiga Massacre. If you thing General Leonard Wood was a hero, you are wrong. He is a murderer of women, babies, ang young boys.
This is a good video. You heard it right a fake battle, staged and orchestrated for 20 Million dollars between US and Spain. It was not a submarine but a cruiser (USS Maine).
The famous five star Gen. Douglas McArthur and his father, Arthur, his first posting after graduating from West Point and once stationed in the Philippines which had been an
American colony.
Its funny that the Philippine Revolutionary Army already occupied more than 80% of the country, and the only reason the US Navy entered Intramuros because a captain asked permission from the occupying forces officer to at least land a few soldiers...and we complied. Then they declared they occupied the Philippines, while they didnt even occupied 10% of Intramuros And from what I learned from other sources, the US justified they establishment of a government in the Phils. because "there was no existing government structure to destroy", even thought there was a working government in place...which the US destroyed. That's why its being taught in the US, until now, as "The Philippine Insurrection".
.
Edit: the Philippines was granted independence, not because the people were too proud for hand out or be included in a foreign empire, but because the US senate wanted to stop the influx of Filipinos to the US. I grew up learning that they Tydings McDuffie Act was a benevolent cause to give the Phils. freedom, but it was actually fueled by hate.
I agree.. Racism was so rampant during that time that they made Filipinos "non-citizen - U.S Nationals" courtesy of Section 204 of the Nationality Act of 1940 (54 Stat. 1139) .. And Filipinos lost their "US Nationals Status" ,-- not US Citizens because they never mandated citizenship to Filipinos, after July 4, 1946, when they gave the Philippines its independence. They invented their own term equivalent to saying, "we don't need you as one of us, just your resources" and just a laurel because we (sic) defeated Spain (although we gave them $20M) in the mocked up "Battle of Manila Bay"
Pinoy here
I love that they're putting on a spotlight on part of history that isn't normally getting attention. especially that it is about my country
-- BUT NOT ALL he said true though (majority of what he said is "part" of the story but not the whole)
I love how you said part 1 but you got so immersed in the story you continued on lol
This is legit...so true...thank you!!!!!
Philippines is full of history.
Yes, my grandfather was shot by the American Soldier. We move on and they fought along side against the evils. I’m proud Filipino/American and will defend the constitution of America 🇺🇸🇵🇭🙏💪🏻
Respect
if you can find any clips/story or documentary about the Balangiga Bells it is related here (Philippine-American War)
BTW I got a little emotional on the last few parts of the video. Realizing how my country able to recover from the darkest part of our history.
Whats ironic is residents of Guam, PR, American Samoa and others dont get the full benefits of being a US Citizen yet they are the places wherein there is a high recruitment rate for the US military and most of their citizens are employed by the Military.
Thanks for that video, interesting history, first time I heard of that. Like to see more history videos.
Thank you for showing this, i'd forgotten about this after that story was told in my youth.
I remember President Duterte mentioned about this stuff on quote 'gaining fat on our lands' that is why is he is disgusted on how the American politicians looks on our other countries as if they are not equal except if you are member of G7 countries. This guys do his research well, though I'm not sure about Ma'i since there are other states existing along Ma'i during that time such as Sultanate of Sulu and the Kingdoms of Tondo and Butuan.
This history about my homelands still hard to Swallow and hard to deal with up to now. yet alone to face this fact. Believe me, still feel heavy about this.
He said he would love to see (the Philippines and other territories) become part of the states if they (the Filipinos) are willing.. First and foremost who said that Filipinos then wanted to be part of the states and rejoice over their so-called liberation... The Filipinos from the start knew what they want that's why they fought for their freedom. If the US that time really valued the islands, they should have given equal treatment as what they did to hawaii after they were bombed.
Unlike PHL, Hawaii was not bombed entirely, just Pearl Harbor mainly the naval base and the air strips, no prisoners, no massacre of many civilians, no city devastations, but needless to say innocent people died.
IMO, one of few reasons why US didn't help the PHL after the WW2 like it did to Europe and Japan was Filipino politicians were too eager to have their independence(the early era of pogi points), hence while MNL and the entire PHL was still in complete devastation, US granted the independence. If I were one of those politicians, I would've encouraged the other Pinoy politicians to let the US rebuilt the PHL(economy, roads, schools, hospitals, bridges...etc.), then ask for independence....win win situations for the Filipinos despite the human loss.
We do not need the USA to rebuild our nation, nope!
Thank you for watching this! Even us Filipinos are not taught these things.
history teachers in the philippines do teach that history for the past decades. was that not taught in your school? or decades ago?
Filipinos are taught of almost what happens in the history, but not to the most detailed way, perhaps. Our history teachers are so best in telling what really happened in the past.
Wait, what school did you go to and when? When I was in school, all these events were drilled into our brains ever since elementary grade in History class (Sibika or Araling Panlipunan)
In our history, the US straight up bought the Philippines from Spain. We learned about our history in highschool and it made me weep for my ancestors who fought so hard. 😢
Always been curious about history of the beautiful country where I live and work. Thanks for this video. ♥️ from India
That "unincorporated territory" was the "Common Wealth" to remove those tariffs. So it's a territory of the United States and they guide the emerging government of the locals (but that's just a front). The main thing about common wealth is to get as much resources from that country like export products. Gold was one of the main products of the Philippines in the early 20th century. The Benguet Corporation was listed in the NYSE for it's gold and silver mining. Until they were forced to only get minority shares after the independence and total removal of control in the 80's, giving back ownership of the company back to the Philippines but it was too late. Out of the minable deposits when the company started, only 5% was left for the Filipinos to mine.
The Philippines was declared a U.S. Territory in a Senate resolution filed by Senator Albert Beveridge of Indiana in 1900.
The invention of the term insular possessions or outlying possessions was probably a way to justify the term US national but not US citizen? Senator Beveridge was correct: the US constitution speaks only of States and Territories.
To Joseph Ian, Ma-i or Maidh (also spelled Ma'I, Mai, Ma-yi or Mayi; Baybayin: ᜋᜁ; Hanunuo; Chinese: 麻逸; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: má it) was an ancient sovereign state located in what is now the Philippines.
Its existence was first documented in 971 AD, in the Song Dynasty documents known as the History of Song, and it was also mentioned in the 10th century records of the Sultanate of Brunei.

Pinoy Historian Reacting to How The US Stole the Philippines
Actually MA-I is just one of the kingdoms in the philippines.
It is located in Mindoro (Now). And mindoro is just an island in the philippines.
There’s a lot of kingdom here in the philippines way before spanish arrived. There’s Kingdom of tondo, rajahnate of manila, rajahnate of sulu, chiefdom of taytay ect.
And in 1521 magellan arrived and lost. And dacades (1543) after that Villalobos arrived and he named the Las Islas Filipinas in honor to of King Philip II of Spain.
And the philippines never conquered by Spanish. The mindanao island is never been conquered.
Watching this again as this appeared on my feed since I am watching US military in Asia and China being the issue. The Filipinos have actually moved on from this. But it would be good if the US side acknowledged this to put things in perspective. Those were the faults of the past and we learn from it. The present realities are much different. Somehow, the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty between the US and Philippines has become useful to both countries (and if I may say, to the benefit of the whole of Asia and to the world) in 2023. US military is back in my home country.
Please react to Pinoy Historian reaction to this video.Some of the information in this video is incorrect.thank you and more power to your channel..God bless you both🙏🙏🙏

23:23-25:00 I get your point Phezz, except it is not another country, the Philippines (and Guam) are an American territories. They are under the US which is precisely why they were attacked.
If they really wanted to sell it to the American people, wouldn't it be better to include these other US territories, which also suffered from the bombings, and say that multiple American territories were attacked in order to convince these people about going into war with Japan?
Not if it was socially acceptable to not think of the people living in those territories as "real Americans". Don't forget this was even before the Civil rights era so racism & segregation was still going on in the country. Hell, just look up what FDR did to Japanese Americans during that time. What makes you think that emphasizing the bombing of a bunch of brown people in some territories of ours would have any significant impact on the general public.
Hawaii was not yet a US State on that "Day of Infamy" (not until 1959). Why were American soldiers at Pearl Harbor (Hawaii) deemed more important than American soldiers in Clark Field and Subic Naval Base (Philippines)? 🤔
21:48 Yes it did. I read about it in World History, but it wasn't part of the curriculum so it wasn't formally taught, but it was in my high school books.
As an Asian really so sad American really like to dig hole and involved in other country business
The regular, ordinary American citizen didn't know about it what was going on. Th'ey're not to blame, of course not, the leaders were😁
At that time the word Filipino pertained exclusively to people of Spanish descent living in the Philippines. The locals were called “Indios” or native brown people. Same as latin america. However, indio also had a deragatory meaning like uneducated or lower class. Sometime after the Spanish left, everyone living in the Philippines were called Filipinos.
in the philippines we study early in school about other countries history not just our own history
It was a good thing those Filipino HEROES we had they called revolutianaries and what's left of them after the civil wars, didn't just accepted the PH to be a mere American territory. Up until the 2nd world war they exhausted everything until we wete granted independence😁😊
I think inspite of these maneuvers and machination by the Americans of yore in the life of every Filipino , the Filipino people still continued to show gratitude by fighting side by side with the Americans during World War II. Had it not been for the Filipinos who fought side with the Americans against the Japanese forces, stage in our soil for quite a time, the Japanese forces might have had reached the American capital and annihilate the American people. That is history and America has the duty to recompense the Filipino people for helping them win the war - the second World War. Our veterans are almost all dead except for a few, and America had yet to fulfill its obligation towards the Filipino people. Salamat.
what is the original video please?I would like to see that
They stole Hawaii too at that time.
There was actually some false information in this video. Maybe some information was misinterpreted or maybe it's because of the sources, but there is this Pinoy historian who reacted to this and clarified some of the wrong information. An example was it wasn't actually used to be called Ma'i/. Ma'i was just one of the many kingdoms that were established in what is now known as the Philippines. Although, I am really glad Johnny Harris made the video as it sheds light on most of us, even filipinos
I completely agree. While listening this reporter was like a maid by China as he’s living up and vague reporting. Yes it’s short concise yet lots of false reporting.
Love your channel, you should see a video about David Fagan.
Brilliant & honest reactions & comments. Pls. react to the debate of exchange students fr. the Philippines & other Countries at the United Nation yrs. 1954 & 1956 about prejudice & communism. Same thing is happening even today. Thanks fr. Manila.
Thank you for accepting my request for the reaction video of "How the US stole the Philippines" made by johnny harris
There are A LOT of historical inaccuracies in the video featured. It's a good watch but to get things right one should look for other sources as well, yes including books.
Did you guys know that Americans suffered 3x more casualties in the Philippine-American War than the Spanish-American War??
"Did you guys know that Americans suffered 3x more casualties in the Philippine-American War than the Spanish-American War??"
Yeah , becuz there was no Spanish-American War in the Philippines , there were 2 battles that happened between them , the Battle of Manila Bay where US navy destroyed the Spanish Navy , and the Mock Battle of Manila , which was a fake battle.
@@WallNutBreaker524 Lol not just in the Philippines, Spanish - American war also happened elsewhere. The American casualties in Puerto Rico, Cuba and other Territories, where conflicts happened between the two countries. Your comment doesnt make sense since I didn't said that "Americans suffered 3x more casualties in the Philippines -American War than the (Spanish - American War in the Philippines".) I only said "(Spanish American War) that mean it includes other places.
@@WallNutBreaker524 We killed more Americans than the Spanish Did 😁
Filipinos are very independent people. They don’t take handouts; they will like to work for it. It is in their culture.
The Maine which exploded in Cuba wasn't a submarine - it was a battleship. It was touted as Spanish treachery and led to war, but it is currently believed it exploded by accident due to inflammable coal dust in the fuel bunkers forming a highly explosive mixture.
The guy in the video they're reacting to corrected himself by putting a text on the screen when he said that.
@@Shythalia Ah, I missed that - must have been looking away from the screen at that moment.
@@stevenlowe3026 It's fine. I do that, too, sometimes.
This is just too funny. I mean historically it's true, Americans butt in when the Philippines is about to win its war against the spanish regime. But the way the guy in the video delivers the story is too funny for me. He could have a career in comedy acting.
Ma’i is only the Mindoro Island where the Chinese trades with , this was recorded in Chinese History Books.It’s true that there’s no actual war because Spain was already conquered by the Eagle Empire( UK) and was handed over to the second head of the Eagle (US)
During those times, america give us sardines, but they took our gold, haha
Great vid content and reaction
The US really has eyes on the Philippines aside from Cuba because of the sugar production both of these countries have. Back then, Cuba was #1 in sugar production, Philippines was somewhere in #10 (previously #4 around 1774).
It's a good narrative but there is one correction : The Spanish-American War was triggered by the apparent bombing of the battleship Maine and not a submarine. However, new evidence showed that it wasn't even bombed ...
but an explosion inside the armory... inside job perhaps...
For the US Military/Navy 👉 When it is said to them, ‘Do not cause corruption in the land,’ they say, ‘We are only putting things right,’
Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not. Think about what they did in the 9/11? They used it to attact Iraq with the alibi of wmd 🤔 until now they didn’t find any. HASBIYALLAHU WA NÉE’MAL WAKEEL. THERE’S DAY OF JUDGEMENT for everyone of us.
It's kind of unfair for us because they teach that to us at school so that it does not happen again.
Can you also react to Kirby Araullo (Filipino Historian) reacting to the same video. There's a lot of corrections in his video about this. 💯💯💯
Ooh nga 😑
We the Filipinos suffer a lot so don't mess with Filipinos coz we will fight back for our country 💕
most Filipinos love america than any other nations in the world and the most renowned american during world war II being teaches in our history class is Gen. Douglas Mc Arthur who is very famous for his line "i shall return" his promised to the filipino people he has a monument in leyte as a commemoration when he comes back on October 20,1944.
During WWII, American Military Top Brass wanted to bypass the Philippines and go straight to Southern Japan, because casualties were mounting from their previous island campaigns like Pelalu, etc. so the risk-reward wasn't worht it. The thinking was if they could make Japan surrender faster, by invading their homeland then the liberation of the Philippines would be much easier as the war would be technically over and the Japanese occupying force in the Philippines would surrender and return to Japan. But Gen. McArthur pushed hard for the liberation of the Philippines mainly because he lost it at the start of the war and made a promise that he "shall return".
Do the Gen. Luna trailer. It's a great historical movie in the Philippines.
now this is the best time to react "Heneral Luna Trailer" to understand more on philippine perspective... if you just want to.. :)
I think you guys may want to find out what the USA did to the people in the Marshall Islands and the Bikini atoll. Incidentally, that was where the skimpy apparel got its name from.
So, does it still hold now to US territories?.....Is it bad given the present situation, economy wise, peace & order situation, insurgency, etc.?
Impressive documentary. Great review.
Ma’i was name given by the Chinese traders ( as reference) in Mindoro during the pre colonial kingdoms in different islands We have to be careful as it’s sensitive topic as we were never under China before. Ma’i was not the name of the entire Philippines.
And neither is Maharlika
@@docmiles7 agrée. It should be investigated first as foreign viewers might believe on what they’re saying.
But Ma'i wasnt under Chinese occupation, just strong sphere of influence.
@@user-tv4ih2kq6r they used that name as reference while trading in one of the islands. It’s sensitive at this point as Chinas trying to claim territories. That time we have different kingdoms.
@@marierocher4422 If you refer it as "trade with them", then the implication is relation between nations, not within the nation.
Nonetheless, in diplomatic records China didnt have any territories in the south. Their southern most extend would only be the island of Hainan and northern Vietnam.
It is true that "Ma'i" could just been an exonym, but it doesnt mean the people who call it that way owns the land. e.g., Siam is the exonym of Thailand, but it doesnt mean the rest of Indo-China owns it.
You guys should react to Kirby Araullo who also reacted to Harris video, on how US stole philippines from Spanish to find out what was really happened cause i am a bit iritated about some falls information on his pesentation. And as a filipino i studied in the philippines and we had a subject where we can learn about history of our nation.

war in the Philippines🙄Senator Augustus Bacon was against the Anexation of the Philippines (Islas Filipinas) on February 6, 1899 because it already had a functional government called "Republika Filipina". This was established after the start of the 1896 revolutionary war by the Katipunero of Andress Bonifacio. Spain recognized the 1899 PH Republic of the entire Archipelago except Manila were the last stand of the Spaniards. Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao leaders recognized Aguinaldo as the President. PH Republic and US entered into a negotiation to take over Intramuros, Manila against Spain. The PH heroes now, also known as Illustrados provided $20Million to the broken US economy (due to the American-British/Spain war in the late 17th century) to pay Spain to purchase the Philippines during the Treaty of Paris and avoid more bloodshed. The $20Million used by the US is the money of Filipino Illustrados.
The 1899 Philippine Republic was not recognized by America until now because McKinley Dewey, Roosevelt Root & Worcester, lied to American people that the Philippines during that time is incapable of creating a Republic and the PH people are just illiterate. The US Dewey, Root & Worcester even showcases the native igorots to gain support by bringing them to the US zoo so, the US citizens can see how the Philippines people look and need education, counselling and guidance to form a government. The igorots were mocked and laughed at by the citizens. The US lies before and keeps lying at the present time. It is in the nature of the US government to lie to its citizens. the US tried to erase these events particularly in PH history books, but the truth was revealed by scholars who made extensive research and found some war records and very old US newspapers still intact during the research. Betrayed by the US, it started the Philippines and US war. The war was triggered by an american soldier shooting and killing one uniform Philippines Republic soldier.
Mandarin is the most spoken 1st language in the world with a billion native speaker. English is the most spoken 2nd language of people in the world
MA_I in pampango means there is n or mayroon
America never apologie to the Philippines ,makes me very sad😥🙏
The massacre in Ballangiga Eastern Samar is triggered among filipinos to fight back against american (they take out the balangiga bell and sail it back to US Teritory and display on the american Museum) filipino then restback and wipe out almost of american infantry with bolo and knives vs guns from then we are not allowed to dress jacket, longsleeve shirt during this colonial period, thats why today we use barong tagalog as national dress now the balangiga bell has finally return in ph samar in 2018 after 117 years of appeal and in 1946 we got liberated from the US
I do not know how but this appeared on my suggested videos (and I was not logged in and obviously I had to log in to post this comment). I am Filipino born, raised and worked in the Philippines. I am a US resident now. Just for perspective, my parents and grandparents in their elementary years during the (American) Commonwealth period, they say that in school, they would sing the Philippine National Anthem and then the Star Spangled banner. Since Philippines was a US colony, though there was exploitation, the US sent missionaries as teachers in schools, that is what my parents told me. US also introduced governance and standards. That is why most of our code of professional ethics and standards (i.e. doctors, nurse, accountants, law, etc), are patterned to the US. What was discussed in this video, we learned them in school, especially the fake war between US and Spain and that US paid $20 million to Spain. As a US resident now, it baffles me that most Americans' knowledge of history is "Euro-centric" when a significant part of US history includes engagements with Asia.
Now i learn more what happend to my country during the accupation or colonize by americans and thier intention thanks for your short vedio.
something that was never taught in school or in our philippine history for that matter... knowing this now Im not sure how to react anymore :( somewhat upset if this did happen !!!!!
There are some inaccuracies but it is mostly true. I still do not get how our people make America as a hero country. But then again, our general school curriculum doesn’t really give in-depth precolonial and colonial history apart from the school I graduated from.
he's info is a mix of facts and misinformation.
It is a fact that 600,000 Filipinos died during the Spanish colonization, during the American colonization 10% of the population perished that is around 700,000 (War Related Deaths in the Philippines by John M. Gates). You can also read The Filipino Genocide by Andrew Clem.
People will now understand what made President Duterte to call on the former POTUS saying “Mr. Obama, you can Go to hell!”
20:25 for short... a "Vassal" or "Puppet" country
Check this link in relation to this video that you're reacting guys. The link is to validate the trueness and falseness coming from a historian. Disclaimer: There's no intention to make a clash but to share and validate what really happened within the Philippine history under both regimes ( American and Spanish). To cut it short, there were some errors mentioned in this video and the answers to that errors is being explained by the link provided below. Thank you

You should react to the trailer of the movie “Heneral Luna” that was an epic movie.
