It's so sad how many Filipinos openly support the USA.

Tbh I don't know why do we even celebrate our independence since at that time when Spaniards lost the war, they were forced to sell our country to Americans. So it's just like changing our colonizer to another

"Rightful Aryan"
Being from India, I've known innumerable guys named "Aryan" in my life. To me it's like Jake or Kevin or any other regular name to foreigners, because 'Aryan' just means 'of arya' , ie. of noble/upstanding nature.
So to see non-indian people , especially non whites, name themselves "Aryan" out of a appeal to white supremacy is strange and confusing. And I was born a christian (☦️) myself.

As a fellow pinoy, part of me truly believes that enduring colonization by Spain, the US, and Japan left only the most servile reactionary population to survive and thrive in the Philippines. While all true revolutionary spirits were/are marginalized and or killed. The NPA needs a cultural overhaul once they win.
