What are Filipinos Views on Japanese? Options

[EyEsTrAiN]

When i lived in Philippines when i was in elementary, the teachers taught us to hate the Japanese and the Spanish for colonizing us. Strangely, they taught us to love the Americans who also colonized us

Japanese and the Spanish can't compare to what the U.S did back then. Yet there is saying among veterans: The Spaniards gave us religion, the Americans gave us Education and the Japanese gave us HELL!

tru they did da same thing to me when i was juz a youngstaa!!! they taught me to hate both spanish and japanese!! da reason why they taught us to like the americans becuz they are actually the ones that helped organize the country. they helped the filipino government rebuild. they organized our education system by bringing the thomasites to teach the filipinos. they supported the military, and etc. they did commit some atrocities, but not as much as the spanish and the japanese. they were actually nicer to the filipinos after the spanish filipino war. they liberated us from the hated japanese and spanish. without their help then we would have ended as slaves for the japanese empire.

but at the same time i luv japanese ppl too!!! they are not the same ppl from ww2

The Americans nicer??? Phiillippines was wHat Iraq is now? What a joke LOL.

Here u go the consequences of the Filipino american after they supposedly helped us against the Spanish.Thats WAY more than what the filipinos suffered under the spanish and WW2 Japanese aggression(and american artillery) combined.

During the war, 4,324 American soldiers were killed and 2,818 were wounded. There were also 2,000 casualties that the Philippine Constabulary suffered during the war, over a thousand of which were fatalities. Philippine military deaths are estimated at 20,000 (16 thousand actually counted) while civilian deaths numbered in 250,000 to 1,000,000 Filipinos.

Tha Japanese are very polite(useually) and proffessional people, I dont think anyone in my family has anything against the Japanese its better to look forward into the future when it comes to these things. But that doesnt mean we should forget because it could always happen again, I mean just look at the US a 108 years from the so called Phillippine Inserrection (LOL) and thier still at it in another part of the world.

how u think the "Native Americans" feel.. atleast we have our freakin' country really.. them indians watch us live off their land.. o_o ..

Yeah... I think that is so sad...Filipinos should not feel bad AT ALL for America colonizing us....I mean look at the Native Americans they do not even have their own country At least the Philippines has a chance to develop itself, while NA have no country,PI has good education and is actually doing pretty well in economy...

Philippine military deaths are estimated at 20,000 (16 thousand actually counted) while civilian deaths numbered in 250,000 to 1,000,000 Filipinos.

and Americans performed genocide in a small town in Samar...

Between the years 1899 and 1913 the United States of America wrote the darkest pages of its history. The invasion of the Philippines-- for no other reason than acquiring imperial possessions, prompted a fierce reaction of the Filipino people. 126,000 American soldiers were brought in to quell the resistence. As a result, 400,000 Filipino "insurrectos" died under the American fire and one million Filipino civilians died because of the hardship, mass killings and scorched earth tactics carried out by the Americans. In total the American war against a peaceful people who fairly ignored the existence of the Americans until their arrival wiped out 1/6 of the population of the country.

It was American policy at the turn of the century to kill as many Filipinos as possible.

“The present war is no bloodless, opera bouffe engagement; our men have been relentless, have killed to exterminate men, women, children, prisoners and captives, active insurgents and suspected people from lads of ten up, the idea prevailing that the Filipino as such was little better than a dog..."

“Our soldiers have pumped salt water into men to make them talk, and have taken prisoners people who held up their hands and peacefully surrendered, and an hour later, without an atom of evidence to show that they were even insurrectos, stood them on a bridge and shot them down one by one, to drop into the water below and float down, as examples to those who found their bullet-loaded corpses.”

"The major said that General Smith instructed him to kill and burn, and said that the more he killed and burned the better pleased he would be; that it was no time to take prisoners, and that he was to make Samar a howling wilderness. Major Waller asked General Smith to define the age limit for killing, and he replied “Everything over ten.”

For me, Americans were no better than Spaniards and Japanese...

Amen to that!

The Americans also carpet bombed Manila during the closing months of the war

Yup Manila was the Warsaw of Asia WW2 it was flattened twice by the japanese and then by the americans.

When F.A. Blake of the International Red Cross arrived at Emilio Aguinaldo’s request, Otis kept him confined to Manila, where Otis’s staff explained all of the Filipinos' violations of civilized warfare. Blake managed to slip away from an escort and venture into the field. Blake never made it past American lines, but even within American lines he saw burned out villages and “horribly mutilated bodies, with stomachs slit open and occasionally decapitated.” Blake waited to return to San Francisco, where he told one reporter that “American soldiers are determined to kill every Filipino in sight.
