Filipino reaction
Hi:
As a Filipino, I am not too comfortable reading this account.
As I had much earlier said in this forum, exposure to accounts of the Fil-American War has often been the entry point to the radicalization of Filipino college students.
This is very bad politics. All opposed to the United States could cite this account as yet additional proof that the US is an imperialist country.
Incidentally, the Philippine revolution is taught in many colleges in my country as the very first nationalist revolution in Asia.And the Fil-American War, the latter part of this revolution, which failed and must be continued.
The term continued is subject to many interpretations--peaceful ones included.
