Philippines

The recent destruction of the Philippines reminded me of our past history with them. It goes without saying that our occupation of the Philippines was one of our more darker periods in what would be our try at imperialism. At the end of all that misery, we went our separate ways and they got independence. However despite that, the Philippines, at least now, doesn't seem to hold a huge grudge against us despite the atrocities. What has happened since then? Perhaps we apologized awhile ago and they forgave. Who knows.
