    Is that so? Did the Philippines look the same after they rebuilt you?

    And by the way, many Europeans consider the Marshall plan a mistake.

    mukhang aral sa history si justanswerplz.

    Si intelligencia of the philippine nilelecturan din kami about the west na barbaric nation.

    Meron sinabi sa amin to research about al-andalus andalucia hindi ko pa chinecheck.

    And china is never the enemy.

    he is the one who told us to read about kishore mahbubani, the dean of lee kuan yew of school of public policy.

    Restoration happened and it may not be the exact thing before the war that's because changes were introduced or due to limitation of funds due to inflation. Inflation sky rocketed during the war

    How can the plan to rebuild Europe be a mistake? It helped Europe get back on its feet especially west Germany

    The Russians didnt rebuild east Germany as russian cities are devastated as well. Russian resources were dedicated to russians. The east germans rebuilt their part of Germany with minimal assistance from the russians

    Taking the side of china now is a huge mistake. Chinese effort to get resources from west philippines sea is dedicated to the billion chinese and not Filipinos. Imagine the notion that Filipinos will have to import the fish caught in our exclusive economic zone. Import the oil resources gathered in it as well

    Its dumb to import what is rightfully ours, dont you think?

    From the way the TS uses second person plural pronouns ( you, yours), he/she is not even Filipino.

    Pakawala yan ng mga propogandists malamang, trying to rouse public opinion against 'Imperialist America'

    We're all aware of the many sins committed by many American personnel and their government in many nations.

    But better the devil you know, than the one you don't.

    OT: China's Debt-Trap Diplomacy will destroy the Philippines even more, IMHO.

    MacArthur could have fought and delayed the Japanese at Manila in 1942. But, he chose to make Manila an open city and spare it the destruction, retreating to Bataan instead.

    When the US was poised to retake Manila, Yamashita ordered his troops to abandon Manila as well and regroup elsewhere. But, the Japanese marines refused and chose Manila as the place to make their last stand instead.

    What was the alternative? Leave Manila in Japanese hands?

    Regardless whether the PH was in US hands or not, the Japanese would have taken the PH because it was in an ideal position to protect Japanese supply routes from and to Southeast Asia. Look at a map of the region.

    how many of you folks know what "chesterfield" is?
    (roof signage on the building at the other side of the river, facing post office)

    the americans left us to do our thing, over 70 years ago.
    if manila hasn't yet been rebuilt to your liking today, it's not their fault. it's ours. ( are you... part of 'ours' ? )

If Americans destroyed Manila during WW2, why didn't the Filipinos do the same to an American city?
