Imagine, the Filipinos got an unprecedented head-start and exposure to technology, science, innovation, education due to the Americans. The advancements we see today all over the world were because of American ingenuity. But Filipino leaders took it for granted. The Philippines could have excelled and led in filmmaking, auto industry, power generation, steel, construction, music, electronics, science, urban planning, law and order, military, YOU NAME IT. In other words, we could have been the leader in Asia if not as one of the superpower today. WHAT DA PHUCK HAPPENED? Filipinos in America excel. We are one of the top earners amongst all the Asians in America which proves we have what it takes to prosper.
Imagine, the Philippines indeed pre-dated glamor and elegance captured in film compared to the other Asian countries. We see today Korean, Chinese and Japanese productions depicting the bling blings of life like orchestras, balls even operas yet here have evidence that it was the Filipinos who were the trailblazers bringing imagination to reality.
Before World War 2 Manila was the premiere city in the far east, built by the Spanish, modernized by the Americans, destroyed by the Japanese and the Americans during the battle of Manila in February to March 1945, it has never recovered since, unlike other cities in Europe that were rebuilt after the war, the Americans instead granted independence to the Philippines in 1947 leaving Manila under Filipino supervision, only a few buildings were restored such as the legislative building, now the national museum, other edifices that survived the war were either lost to fire, natural calamities, neglect, decay and demolished due to financial reasons disregarding their cultural and historical significance like the art deco Jai Alai building. Jones' bridge was just rebuilt, not restored to its former glory, just compare photos of it before 1945 and after.
They were foreign exchange students in America sharing their culture and opinions with each other. Watch the whole video on it. He details the prejudice and resentment he had for the Japanese and how his conversations with Yoriko (the girl beside him) chipped away at those prejudices. He eventually saw them for their being persons and realized that war affects everyone involved. It's a really good video on the opinions of the youth at the time. It's a forum for them to have a civil conversation inspite of possible prejudice and long standing resentment.
