american politicians after ww2 mulled the idea but decided it wasn’t worth it. failippinos brought it up again in the 80s and formed a political party in the failippines to seek statehood with unker sam but was politely rejected. for that americans breathed a collective sigh of relief and celebrated america’s (2nd) independence from the failippines.
Anyway whatever pinoys do..they will self sabotage with their 'pinoy pride'. They could have kept USA military presence at subic n Clarke but due to their pride..chased the yanks out..n now with the rise of chicon land now begging the yanks for protection..
N when it comes to migration to yankeeland...the pride disappears n they go on their knees...just shows...how much true pride these pinoys have. If they got real pride...pinoy land will be the singkieland of SEA...instead till date they are still the sick man of SEA...but considering that mudland is imploding...these pinoys have a chance to be the lesser of the sick man of SEA...
And a qn:...why is pinoyland a 3rd world cuntry?
Ans: bcos there is no 4th world country
