You can still score a Filipina regardless. They're that easy.

>yfw modern Flips are Weeaboos, Koreaboos, or Westaboos of varying degrees

Right, it's even worse.

Its out of context.



The people who said this were usually leaders of the First Philippine Republic of 1898-1902 that the Americans destroyed. They never forgave the Americans for what they did so they spent the remainder of their lives trolling the American Insular Government. One of their favorite methods was to say "the Spaniards were better at X." It always got the Americans as 100% of the American colonial rhetoric in the Philippines was "we're doing things better."



The greatest troll of them was the 1st president himself Emilio Aguinaldo. After the Americans deposed him in 1902, he spent his elderly years doing the ff:

>Refused to speak English (despite fluency in the language). Americans had to talk to him in Spanish or Tagalog.

>Raised the Philippine flag in his home (made illegal by Americans from 1902-1919)

>Praised Pancho Villa's raids on US border states. 

>in WW1, praised Germany's efforts vs. the Anglo-Americans.

>Ran for President in 1935 again with the promise of Immediate Independence.

>Attended the Manila funeral mass of the Spanish King Alfonso XII0 the same monarch he rebelled agains- and told reporters that "the Spaniards at least didn't treat us as captive markets for their industries" and making a show of reconciliation with Spanish local leaders.

>In WW2, cooperated with the Japanese occupation and played a leading role in changing the American public school curriculum by allowing the Philippine American to be taught in history classes (banned since 1902) and made native languages the main medium of instruction instead of English.

And he even got away with the last one lul, he wasn't even tried by the Manila War Crimes Trials as a collaborator.

Why didn't they do the same to the Japanese? Is it because they were honest about their pillaging and raping?

I don't want them I want their treasure and fat profits

Because many of the First Philippine Republic were buddies with Japs since the Meiji Period. One of them even went to Japan to secure advisors and weapons for Filipino Guerrillas continuing to resist the Americans in 1901-1907.



Some changed their opinions after the Carnage of WWII, but the hardcore Pan-Asianists pretty much wanted to use them vs. Influence.

Aguinaldo was actually the most moderate out of all the Filipino revolutionaries. He treated Spanish Prisoners very well and actually advised soldiers under him not to harm any Spanish civilians and Priests who were not fighting them. 



Unlike his contemporary Bonifacio, who literally planned to massacre all the Spaniards in Manila until his plan backfired.

Most of the elite nationalists wanted the Philippines to emerge as a sane liberal republic while poor nationalists saw it as a race/class war.

Bonifacio just needed two more weeks, pare.

18/96 race war now

To think the country was a few battles away from becoming Haiti 2.0 Guess a broken clock can be right sometimes.
