Do people in the Philippines prefer British or Americans?

Im still learning Philippines history and not sure how long the Americans were here. But the Philippines seems to have more Spanish influence what did America bring in a positive light? With the British colonies many people became anti-british within Africa and other nations but when ive spoken to friends from India they are very proud that they were part of the British empire because it allowed the country to develop with infrustructure and education etc. bringing in a new era. Its strange how the same topic in different countries can be both negative and positive depending on who you speak to.

I know bout that, i just focused more on the american part coz the man asked for it. anyway, i think americans had more positive attributes given to us than negative. also the Spaniards. If you look closely on how colonization works, it's not really the country itself that makes people's life worst but rather the single individual who have only goals for themselves.

we have more spanish influences because the colonization was longer than the americans. i think it was around 300 years for the spanish and only under 50 years for the americans. if you study our history, we like the americans because they helped us fight against the japanese, who wanted to colonize most of asia. of course, they also had their own reasons because the japanese bombed pearl harbor. but the americans taught us democracy, they brought the thomasites, who were teachers. and after being under them, they gave us our freedom and independence.

It seems that you were degrading the dignity of Filipino women.. You must ashamed to your self.. How bad is your girl, huh??

i'm not degrading anybody here. i'm just stating the facts, laying out the truth my eyes sees. don't you it? a lot of people probably read this but didn't bother commenting coz they know its true. how bout you?

what you said is true for most of the poor people here. they just want to help their families get out of poverty. so even if sometimes, they don't really "love" the guy, they would marry for the money. but isn't it also a big sacrificial act for these pinays who marry for money so that their families could have better lives? for foreigners who are usually "older"/retirees who marry "young" filipinas, they are very lucky to have these pinay wives because filipinas are very caring, family-oriented and would take care of their husbands. whether you admit it or not, your fat pockets are not really that fat when you're in your own country. but in the philippines, you can live like a rich man even with your monthly pension because of our low cost of living. that's why a lot of foreigners come here to retire. it's like paradise to them. the weather is not too harsh for the older bones. =) for the rich pinays, not too many of them marry foreigners though.

I think your right.. but just wondering if there are any reasons that people like other types of people more than others. I have heard that before when the women were forced into Comfort women for Japanese soldiers that the hate lives for Japanese. But was wondering if things like the English / Scottish thing still exists where there is still an enjoyment such as if England played New Zealand at rugby I would support New Zealand.. that sort of thing..

I see i understand now, i do hate japanese too because of what they did to the filipino women before. But in English and American, English doesn't have bad thoughts for the filipino because English never invade us or do the bad things to us. But for Americans we have that negative thinking for them but i never generalized them.But when you were in Philippines some filipino thinking you were American not English coz people think there that all white people coming to Philis are Joe's About sport don't worry, we have only fan of basketball and boxing. No rugby or football or cricket.

Maybe you can research my family tree ;-)
