Why United States Helping Philippines?

United States as Philippine “Big brother” not anymore, based on the 19th century concept of policies. This was said by the American Ambassador.

Both countries Philippines and United States are now friends, dismissing the motion that Philippines was the left wing notion of United States”- Goldberg said.


To clear out the concept by just looking back during the last century, I can say that now the relationships between both countries were much stronger and healthier, since we are not Big Brother anymore.

The relation of American and Filipinos where people to people in which both immigrants from each country would not make colony placing other as conqueror, the treatment between both sides has been equal without any discrimination.

Philippine was the only country that has American long history of colony.” Goldberg said. He also addressed some concerns from the United States to the Philippines in the assistance to its economic and political motive.

Recently Php2.7 billion was pledged by Washington in the rehabilitation of central Philippine areas specifically in Visayas Regions. Those who were severely damage by Super Typhoon Yolanda last 2013 of November. Besides from that USD50 million was also supported by the United States in the military funding.

American Government believes that “they should help other who was suffering or needs humanitarian support” This type of attitude was a nature to American people.


Not just Philippines but many countries has fall on Americas part as the country has great financial and human resources. “We don’t want to be viewed in the world as interference” were just there to facilitate due to our capability to handle such situations in helping other countries.
