Individual Filipino soldiers only saw action when they served in combat as members of the U.S armed forces. This then eased any tension or second thoughts of the U.S, which later on led them deciding to not keep the Philippines as colonies and eventually gave them their independence and freedom. Over the years, the relationship between the U.S and Philippines grew and they now rely on each other for support when needed. I believe the relationship began to flourish when the Philippines President Arroyo offered to help the U.S combat the terrorist after the bombing of 9/11. . To show their gratitude, the U.S sent military teams to the Philippines to assist them in a fight against the Muslim Abu Sayyaf rebel groups. This goes to show that everything that happened in the past was left behind them, and it didn’t prevent them from moving forward and helping each other
