Salamat sa Marcos-Aquino-Cojuangco

partly because of government mismanagement, pero may mali din ang mga ordinaryong tao not only the government.

thats the effect of having the usa in our land.

The very truth!! It wasnt the enemy who obliterated Manila and the rest of our country, it was our so called ally the U.S.A. Yet they did whatever means possible to stop the Japanese from reaching Australia or chose to liberate Europe first then only after starting a martial plan to rehabilitate the West did they remember to liberate Manila the easiest way by carpet bombings it to smithereens as an after thought. And now they want us to fight the Chinese in another proxy war?

@@theHDLify but they still didn't commit though it and favored the Japanese more than the Philippines (which was a commonwealth of the USA) all the heritage cities were destroyed and manila and Baguio was given the minimal funding in rebuilding it. then there is that stupidity of selling and canceling projects i absolutely hate marcos since he is the one who turned our economy upside down but canceling our missile (which we were once ahead of the Chinese) and the military project was stupid to even for the yellows.

@@lettuceman9439 Your response is irrelevant. I was talking about how it was the Japanese that caused the destruction of Philippine cities, not how much effort the Americans expended to rebuild them. And what does the Marcos missile program have to do with the destruction and rebuilding of Manila??? Are you sure you are commenting on the right comment section?

@@theHDLify sry wrong i was stupid of me to note the missle. (you known radical nationalism a bit to in grained in me whenever china fucked up)

2:38 mentioned the special tariff and privileges for phil reconstruction that had supposedly lasted for 28 years (1946 + 28yrs = 1974). These facts actually were mandated by law called the BELL TRADE ACT (also known as Phil Trade Act of 1946) crafted by US Congress. Then in 1955, the act was repealed by the Laurel-Langley Agreement which expired in 1974. countrystudies.us/philippines/23.htm The parity rights given to us citizens in phil was highly contested, they exploited the phil natural resources that resulted to 50% reduction of forest than it was during the Spanish colonisation.

That's why during the late 60's and 70's, to invigorate the economy, the policy was based on the three core of developments: 1) self-sufficiency in agriculture, 2) development of infrastructures and 3) the achievement of fast-track industrialization.

The Philippines wasn’t a state and never did the Americans plan to turn it into a state. It was a commonwealth like Puerto Rico and Guam. Tingnan mo ang PR at Guam ngayon supported ba sila ng mga Americans? Iba ang state sa Commonwealth

@@chelgegalo6565 Guam is now a territory of the US

@@chelgegalo6565 May political party dito sa Pilipinas during the American era na ang name ay Federal Party, ang plataporma nila ay gawing state ng America ang Pilipinas. Ayaw nila ng commonwealth or independence. Etong Nacionalista Party ni Quezon ang plataporma is absolute independence. Ciempre mas maganda sa pandinig yung "independence" kaya majority ng mga nanalo every election mula 1907 until the commonwealth era ay mga kandidato ng Nacionalista Party.

pumunta ka nlng at mag migrate sa amerika. wla kameng problema nun

That was planned dont be fooled by the US

maraming magdi-disagree sa akin pero for me maganda din naging epekto ng 28 years na umiral ang Bell Trade Act (1946) na later on naging Laurel-Langley Agreement (1955). Dahil dyan nagpasok ng madaming investments ang America sa atin during the late 1940s until the late 1960s. Yan ang reason why second to Japan ang Pilipinas during the 1950s until 1960s.

​@@friendly1999ph Technically hindi natin kailangan ng Bell Trade Act and Laurel-Langley Agreement if hindi masyado obobs mga presidente natin noon. Masyadong kinain ng nasyonalismo mga liders natin noon to the point na naglagay sila ng mga restriction sa pagmamay-ari ng negosyo ng mga dayuhan (1935, 1973, at 1987 constitutions). Kaya naging overdependent tayo sa mga American investments (when in fact marami pang pwedeng pagkunan nito like Japan and Western Europe). Pero kung nag-went ang protectionist na Pilipinas in the post-war period without the Bell Trade Act, ay baka mas lumala pa kondisyon ng mga lolo't lola natin that time. And for that, I thank the Americans since hindi naramdaman ng mga ancestors natin yung mga estupidong policies ng mga protectionist leaders natin (Osmeña, Laurel, Quirino, Garcia, Recto etc.) because may source pa rin tayo ng investment (monopolized nga lang ng Amerika). Ginawa din tayong "golden age" ng Bell Trade Act as a sugar and tobacco exporter to the U.S. but this meant we didn't incentivize in building companies and industrial manufacturing like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan since yung mga American investors dito, ang target nila, yung agrikultura natin at hindi yung industriya. Dapat talaga ginawa ng Pilipinas in the first place ay hindi na naglagay ng foreign business ownership sa constitution para hindi tayo reliant sa American investments.

we don't need for your 2nd hand assistance HYPOCRITES. There would't be a dystopia in manila if only america didn't step on our soil. If only Americans didn't step on our land and didn't made is as a battleground, we wouldn't be involve in ww2. PHILIPPINES DOESN'T NEED AMERICA ANYMORE because majority of us are awoke from being brainwashed.

Japan was fighting a war with the whole world, the master plan of Japan was to rule the world.

Partially true but mostly paradigms set by the Victors which is the West. Go back far in history to when Jspan was considered an isolated hermit kingdom. Portuguese Missionaries were able to have a minor foothold till the Americans under a gunboat diplomacy threatened Japan to open up so are seeing a very familiar scenario here? Years later the Brits were able to modernize Japan by trying to control the emperor but it was the nearest thing to colonizing it because the rest of Southeast Asia including China were all colonies of various Western powers. When Japan still resisted being a colonial puppet, the West imposed a trade embargo to pressure Japan but instead Japan fought back and in the Japan-Russian War defeated the Russians and took over the disputed island territories. It was emboldened to stop the on-going embargo and thus sent a Mission towards its Regional neighbors trying to promote the “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” wherein the Asian nations must unite and do away with their western colonial Masters. This move was 2 pronged as it Will rid Asia of Colonial rule and second, Japan Will rid itself of the western embargo using Asian colonies as jump points. The Philippines was one of the nations a diplomatic Mission was approached by Japan. However the Philippines politely declined. China on the otherhand was overtly being colonized by several western powers abd could not be approached. Japan was already desperate to secure much needed raw materials for its growing industries but the embargo and the naval blockades were strangling its life line. The rest is history as Japan was forced to fight its way fir survival and the first thing it did was to clean-off the vestige of western colonial foothold and indctrination in Asia. History is written by the victirs though and Japan is exemplified as the villain. However modern global conflicts very much Shows a repeat in western tactics to start with trade embargos and naval blockades to pressure a country they Focus on to submit to their imposition. What we are seeing now is just a repeat prior to WWII but this time with China.

To avoid capture,Gen. McArthur dumped 7.5 million silver pesos at the mouth of Manila Bay. The boxes were opened so individual coins sank individually. Those coins were minted in San Francisco in 1903-1912, except 1906. Each was valued half dollar so that is $3.75Million total. Unfortunately, the gold was already In Yamashita's hands, all Philippine gold and gold from the treasuries of other conquered Asian countries. Still unaccounted for to this day.

Blue Marshall If it’s in English, IT IS propaganda.

Propaganda? Communists lang gumagawa nyan.

@@KOdi766 may positive propaganda naman hindi naman lie lahat yan. ang masama talaga communist propaganda parang fake news

@@fareastmanilavideoproducti4499 Hoy tanga, after sirain ng hapon at kano ang maynila nung ww2, na-restore ba OLD GLORY at lahat ng important landmarks/structures nito? In fairness to the marcoses, up to the '70s (martial law), dun palang nila na-fully REBUILT mga WALLS ng intramuros, our original and most historic planned city center Even some of the most iconic buildings sa intramuros di na uli naitayo like the old ust campus, at san ignacio church ng mga heswita.. Bobo mo LOL

@@fareastmanilavideoproducti4499 Re propaganda, alam mo ba isa sa dahilan why america finally won the cold war in late '80s (berlin wall)? It started sa east germany, where they used videos, movies and other MASS MEDIA/materials to show na mas maganda buhay sa 'democratic' and western germany, that ignited a sense of aspiration (and discontent for ussr) among east germans At sino ba presidente ng amerika nun? Ronald reigan, fmr HOLLYWOOD actor lol They tried a similar tack sa korea, kaya if you noticed very developed ang showbiz/mass media ng sokor ('k-pop') dahil supported and partly funded by GOVERNMENT It didnt work though kase HERMIT kingdom ang nokor at bawal any form of FOREIGN media/internet etc dun lol Kaya kahit ilang lolo mo pa kausapin mo, bobo kapa ren kase di mo alam mga to, tanga LOL

@@maharlukomaharluka4811 kung hindi lang dahil sa mga mga walang utak na kagaya mo ay sana hindi minamaliit ang mga pilipinong katulad mo. tanungin mo nga bakit sinnakop tayo ng mga hapones, sino ba kalaban nila noon, diba amerika at ang amerika at sakop nila ang pilipinas, eh tanga, kung hindi ka naman bobo, halatang sasakupin nila ang pinas dahil noon isa itong colony ng amerika. ikaw naman oh, parang hindi nagaral sa elementarya. mag review po kayo, baka nakalimutan mo na po ang mga pinag aralan mo noong elementarya.

May kapalit yung tulong na binigay na tulong nila. Aralin mo.

@@bsme1-a-ahoninouieisaac295 like what i have said, US colony man tayo or hindi ay sasakupin pa din tayo ng Hapon nuong WW2. Nasa agreement ng Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis ang planong sakupin ng Hapon ang Asya nuong WW2.

asaan ang dilawan dyan? hindi ba si marcos e tuta din ng kano kahit na diktator sya? eto ang fact: noon nasa military si marcos under ng information office, alam nya lahat mga sikreto na nakuhang intelligence laban sa hapon. at kasama dito ang yamashita gold! kaya hindi lang golden buddha nakuha nila, pati yun golden calf sa may tanay.

ambrosiobertodazo Who is to blame why Communism has Spread the Country. Is it because of Cheap labor from Rich local and Foreign Capitalist? Land Grabing by those greedy politicians with Millionaire friends?

@@bluemarshall6180 No my friend. It was a trend in that era after world war II. Communist was not only a problem in the Philippines but all over the world. In asia Communism started in North Korea and attempted to spread to the North. Same thing in Vietnam and China, Laos, Cambodea etc. In the Philippines the Huks who were actually world war II guerilla continued to promote communism very strongly in the mountain areas. But when Magsasay became secretary of Defense the American CIA spear headed a program of winning the hearts and mind which was learned from the situation in China and Korea. And no to promote Ninoy Aquino it was during this time that Ninoy first became known because Ninoy was a journalist who came home from Korea ang CIA sent him to mingle with the HUKs if I remember right the kumander was Luise Tarok. Ninoy became a bridge between Tarok and Magsaysay. This series of incidences led to the surrender of most of the HUKS and to Ninoy Aquino becoming a pro communist advocate but with out promoting armed struggle Aquino joined with Tarok and the Huks to promote land reform and other social justice causes. This association with the communist was later on used by Marcos to silence Aquino when Aquino was charged of rebellion and sedition. At that time that a new brand of communism was born from the remnants of the HUKS and the intellectual UP students and young professionals Aquino was already in jail and was not a main factor in the spread of communism contrary to what you can see in the internet now. Today the propaganda capitalize on the fact that Aquino was convicted in the same military court with Victor Curpos, and Bernabe Buscayno. But Aquino was not arrested with them. Aquino was arrested in the congressional floor together with Senator Diokno, and many others who refused to recognize the new constitution. Most of those arrested where released the same day except those who refused to endorse Marcos constitution and some remain in jail with Aquino, Diokno Mitra etc. Marcos like most dictators of the 70's capitalized on the American fear of the spread of communism and so he assured them that he will fight the communists in the Philippines to death but in return he asked for horrendous amount of military aid which he used to bribe the military with higher pay than most other government employees and with fundings for military programs that was open for corruption to keep the higher ups happy. Marcos himself may not be corrupt but he used corruption to keep his control over people. My sugar cane farming family were mostly Marcos supporters but I joined the anti Marcos movement as a young kid. I have seen some of the minor abuses of the military like pointing a gun for no reason but just because you look suspicion but I have heard from victims of real abuse. In 1986 after Marcos was gone I met other Task Force Detainees of the Philippines and one of which was James Daguman who they say used to be a bright student but he was insane when we listen to him because he was tortured by his captor and detain without charges. It's very sad that today's generation are ungrateful to the sacrifices of real people just because they hated the Aquinos due to a political quarrel between Aquinos son who was not even involve in the movement and was sheltered in a rich home during the dark times. We who are small and unknown have grave despised Duterte for robbing us of our honor and promoting the Marcoses as the hero and all of us are maligne just to bring down his mortal enemy the son of Aquino who was our hero.

fitofight hindi rin siguro. since humahabol yung japan noon sa nazi germany pagdating sa sinasakupan, kung ano yung makita nilang bansa, aakuin rin nila para lang may maipagmalaki sila. tsaka kalaban talaga ng mga axis yung allied forces kaya nagkabanggaan yung japan at america. it was bounded to happen

Ang bobo mo. Halos lahat ng south east asia inattak ng japan, walang ameriko duon bobo.

Thailand at China were not ruled by westerners but Japan still attacked them. Thailand was saved because they chose to ally with Japan after the Japanese invasion.

US colony man tayo or hindi ay sasakupin pa din tayo ng Hapon nuong WW2. Nasa agreement ng Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis ang planong sakupin ng Hapon ang Asya nuong WW2.
