REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES DISCUSSION MEGATHREAD

[Politruk]

I recall reading in my high school U.S. history textbook, The American Pageant, a song dating from the Philippine-American War:

Damn, damn, damn the Filipinos
Cross-eyed kakiak ladrones
Underneath the starry flag
Civilize 'em with a krag [rifle]
And return us to our own beloved homes!

To the tune of a Civil War song, "The Prisoner's Hope."

I have family members from the Philippines: My mother's side of the family.

Can you explain why people who live in the Philippines are called Filipinos?

 

[Pad_Foot]

How will the Philippines react to their brand new tariff?
Any chance they start buying more Amerikkkan stuff? You know, stuff we can make here without imports. Like??

They should tariff American tobacco. We do with taxes. It would be good for the whole world to kick the habit. Tariff American vape crap too!
