Whether we like it or not, immensely more significant numbers want, if not love, the USA. Our relationship with the USA is not only deep-rooted but forged in history that can never be undone. At one point in time – Filipinos were called little brown Americans, and an American governor/administrator
of the Philippine Archipelago resided in Malacanang. Once upon a time, Mindanao and Sulu were governed separately from the rest of the archipelago called the “Moro
Province.” We fought shoulder to shoulder with the American forces in WW II and in almost every war that the USA waged around the world. It is no
hyperbole, therefore, that a US president should vow to provide the country with an “Ironclad” defense from external threats because together, for better or worse - we have trodden along the corridors of history as brothers in arms.
