MERGED: Do You Want U.S. Statehood For the Philippines?

They must be looking down on you since I have no Pinoy friends. Don't pretend that your personal experience reflects the whole.

I'm not pretending sir and this is not just my experience, this is the experience of most Filipino's in the US. and if you don't have Filipino friends and if you don't look like a Filipino then sad to say you can't feel what we feel. if this does not reflect the whole then it will reflect to some.

we are not as smart as the Americans. -- Maybe you are not SMART, We FILIPINOS are SMART and DETERMINED!

unlike us stupid filipinos. --We are not STUPID AS YOUR STUPIDITY!

Just like when they liberated vietnam 30 yrs ago. --Actually the Americans FAILED in Vietnam. The Americans was defeated in Vietnam. Vietnam today still a communist country. They FAILED to win the Vietnamese from HO CHI MIN. Study Vietnam War Dude!

And our country a century ago. They killed thousands of filipinos, but it was for our liberation. For our own good. -- It was not a liberation, consider it an INVASION.


They also liberated us from the japanese. --Due to the American presence in our country that is why Japan attacked us. The Japanese hated the Americans in those times.

The americans have always cared for us for more than a century now. -- They never cared for us. They are just making money out of our effort.

God bless PHILIPPINES!!!

i think you're a fanatic of your national identification.

nations and flags are nothing but symbols.

Like I said, the few does not apply to the whole. Learn to use the English language correctly. You talk in broad generalizations with words like "most", "all", etc. when you really are talking based on personal experience or the experience of people you know. Your small crowd does not represent the entire US nor could it even begin to.

I am not a very bright...I'm just a very very POOR. And you are very bright because you simply didn't get it!

I really wish that I could understand what the heck you are trying to say here... I think that you would really like living in the USA. I lived there most of my life, and you would surely enjoy the place if you spent some time there. You may still find it more comfortable for you to live in the RP after your visit, but at least you would have something different to compare your life here to. You can be proud to be Filipino without despising the USA. A lot of the things you say in your posts strike me as annoying and short-sighted, but that may be because you are posting in your 3rd language (English) as opposed to your native tongue. I try to make allowances for that, but you should know that much of the substance of the points you are trying to make simply fail to get through. The only only impression I can have of you is that you hate the US, pure and simple. You are against US statehood, but for childish, immature and self-serving reasons. You aren't for a moment considering the good of your country, are you?

The Philippines is the source of cheap labor & raw materials. The US intend to keep it that way. For every dollar that they invest here, they take out 7 annually.

And what about manila? 90% of the income of the whole archipelago goes to manila and only goes to the personal bank account of the manila politicians and current government officials and administrators. Burn manila burn!!!
