The Philippines on verge to Statehood USA

The Philippines is now on the verge of US Statehood. Historically, the archipelagic nation belongs to the United States. If not for Japan, the Philippines should have been a "state" of America long befoe Alaska and Hawaii. With recent political turmoils and falling republic, Filipinos today want to return to the motherland.

I've been a supporter of this movement since I was in college. Sometimes I'm thinking of printing leaflets to distribute it to the people to gain widespread support including politicians. I think this is the best thing to do. European Union is a good example and why not for Philippines to rejoin United States and become the 51st state.

hey george! are u filipino?

People can't come and go from the philippines to the USA without special circumstances. We can go from the USA to the philippines with just our passport but the philippines citizens can't just use their passport to visit the USA :( I wish they could.

Good Topic I like it!
But some, especially the Military come only be in the Philippines for 21 days. Does that apply to U.S. Civilians also? Japanese can come to the U.S. with less to no issue at all. I believe its a type of country to a type of country. Countries now a days are profiled.

thats what i said. "for some of us"

I remember when I was in Grade 4 [Elementary Education] our English teacher taught us to sing the United States National Anthem. I really thought during that time that Philippines is part of United States that's why I feel oblige at that time to memorize the American Anthem and sing it with respect & loyalty.
I am a pure blooded Filipino but it seems like I have a close heart to the Americans. Maybe its because historically we are closely connected to the Americans though we quarrel sometimes during the Philippine-American War and the post World War II era especially when the military bases wasn't renewed by the Philippine Senate. But to me, I just consider it as a brother-like quarrel and in the end we usually make up. We Filipinos consider the Americans as our Big Brother. One proof of our true loyalty to the Americans is the acceptance of the VFA agreement and our 100% support to the war on terror. I just hope the American population do consider Filipinos as a part of their family too.
How I wish the Americans didn't gave us Independence in July 04, 1946 but instead gave us the Statehood.
I hope America will propose to the Philippine Government to rejoin United States. I am sure if a referendum will be held, it will get a majority vote of the Filipino people.

G'day mate and thanks indeed for your interest. To answer your query, I am a Filipino in 'vein' with oozing Filipino blood pumping in my heart sensitive and worried of the bleak future of the "Filipino" today. I am a proud ‘Australian’ by necessity. I love Australia and I have called it my home but the Philippines is my special home – the land of my forebears and the place of my birth. I am Australian. I am Filipino through and through ..... thus, I do not wish to be a Filipino in vain but in “vein”.

Sheraton,

Welcome to the Fold. Just like you, I have read and witnessed the intense corruption of the Philippines since the inception of Emilio Aguinaldo in Kawit, Cavite. His assassination of Andres Bonifacio is a living testament of more contemporary assassinations in Malacanang Palace today. It is a republican recycle – an endless republican decay. Manuel L. Quezon Sr. created Filipino Diaspora and we as Filipinos from our stolen generations are now living in “hell”. We are like rats and cockroaches; some are dogs; others are flies. Well, I guess ‘real dogs’ in the US, UK and Australia live a more luxurious life than our fellow human dogs in the Philippines. If MLQ lives in heaven now then happy he is to see us all living in hell. He would rather see the Philippines run like hell by the crocodile Filipinos (like him) rather than like Heaven by the Americans. Yes, he was right, his grandson, MLQ III is running the Philippines like hell yet he lives a selfish sheltered prosperous heavenly life. People of the Philippines, I call upon you all to please wake up. Look at Malacanang Palace – it has become a cozy home of “neonepotismalcolonialists” and oligarchs from the same breed of assassinators and corruptors.

Sheraton,

Please do not wait for Washington DC or White House to propose to the corrupt and money-starved infested Philippine government in order to rejoin the United States. As I’ve said, historically, the Philippine Islands belong to the US. Let the people of the Philippines destroy the sick and rotten “REPUBLIC” and revive and debate the dead Tydings-McDuffie Act and Jones Law. The Filipino masses must be united. We will still be Filipinos and proud Americans at the same time protected by the Constitution of the United States of America with sincere ‘Preamble’ and righteous ‘Bill of Rights’. Gloria Arroyo can still be our representative to Washington as temporary congresswoman or as interim governor of the 51st state until such time that an honest election shall be ruled by Washington.

Sheraton, if you wish to join and become part of the Philippine Statehood USA Top Party, I can send you an email address to link with. Who knows you might even become the secretary general for the United Kingdom-based Filipinos. What do you think?

i dont believe it is in the interest of either countries to make philippines the 51st state. too many complications politically economically and socially. its hard to go back to your parents house when youre middle age.

fairness,

we don't go back to our parents arms when we reach middleage. we take their wisdoms and teachings. in most ways, we follow their ways good or bad. The US created a democratic nation. The US educated an ignorant nation. Spain created a fearing illiterate Filipinos for nearly 400 years. It took only 50 years for America to civilise a nation. The Philippines learned democracy, freedom and wisdom from the Americans. I would love to take them with me wherever I go.

<quoted text> that would increase the population of the united states to 400,000,000 right away. united states is on the verge of curving influx of foreign nationals to control population growth. also itll make the wages lower in the usa and the vocal majority wont like that. filipinos need to get their act straightened to improve their standard of living.

fairness,

Well and truly said. India has more than 1 Billion people and they are now the Top 3 economic giant of Asia. China has even bigger population with 1.1 Billion and both countries are the economic tigers of Asia. Japan and Singapore are sinking simply because Singapore could not swallow to support a bigger multicultural population and Japan is slowly corrupting. The United States is still the most powerful nation on earth hence the population must be maintained. Thousands of Americans are dying from sicknesses and natural causes every year and many more thousands are dying from wars and military involvement. As a powerful nation, Washington needs to maintain its military force. There are about 50 million strong young men and women in the Philippines enough to protect the United States mainland in case of another war in the Middle East or elsewhere. The Philippines is an archipelago strategically positioned in the Asia-Pacific region and closed to the Indian Ocean near Middle East. Just like America's largest installation outside the US, the former Clark airbase, Subic navalbase, and Sangley Point, we can control again the entire Asia-Pacific region. Hawaii is not enough because Hawaii is too small and too far to protect the entire US jurisdiction. With combined Guam, Hawaii and The Philippines “FORCE”, the US will have no problem in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the entire Pacific. The Filipinos will not be liabilities to Washington. We have 85 million highly skilled and prominently educated English-speaking people. The islands are naturally rich in sugar, coffee, mine, oil, gas, coconuts, fruits, veggies etc. The US will become self-sufficient in terms of these needs. The Philippines was the second most powerful country in Asia after Japan five decades ago just after the commonwealth government. The Philippines and the Filipinos are not foreigners to the United States. We are part and parcel of her history. We can not rub out that history. Filipinos will always be American-tagged no matter where we go. Here in Australia, I am called the 'brown flip yankee doodle' and I am bloody proud of it.

yes please, send me the e-add... tnx a lot mate!

Hi Hernandes

I can see your point.Thought it seems like a bright idea, for me sod off the americans. As we are in generous Britain ,we can see how brits are too soft touch to people in the commonwealth (under briatin),easy entry to the UK,like for instance Indian doctors nowadays flooding the NHS hospitals,so as indian nurses are competing entry with pinoy ones.Some years ago foreign students within the common wealth just come in the UK to study Nursing fro instance towards degree level FOR FREE plus bursary of free money close to £700/month allowance,it's a lovely package deal to answer the desperate need of nurss at 1 time.These r only some xample how generous brit system is.But look at the glorified USA,whew pinoy's hammered with entry,not helpful system.Wish in the end te Philippines could have been one of the british commonwealth countries than being tota of the americans.

To George

I suppose you got the point as well , looking how this country being manage by the theives,corrupt political leaders from top to bottom...where we see no light or hope at the end of the tunnel,then perhaps our only hope is foreign leadership that governs this country with a stick,that be right.All corrupts weeded out,imprisoned.

In the US or in brit any political icon found guilty like Estrada ,will stay in rotten jail same as other common criminals.But in the Philippines,take a look estrada is house in better accomadation in Tanay.He should be languishing same as local criminals in Bilibid prison.And a pardon ?Only in teh Philippines you can hear the same govt suggesting after the first day of the verdict to give ESTRADA pardon.Like every criminal who serve the term,Estrada regardless of age should bear the brunt of his wrongs doings and stay in jail til he rots,he's 70 now.But the Philippines is double standard,easy for the rich to get away with severe sentencing.These are just another mention of this unstable ATO-ATO system even regarding serious national issues.This country can not govern itself,it's like governed by children.True wish healthy foreign domination of a kind can happen,oh well NOT CHINA goodness (filipinos will be made organ spare parts),maybe there's a bright end somewhere.
