How did the United States intervene in the affairs of The Philippines ?
Answers
Answer:
Philippines–United States relations (Filipino: Ugnayang Pilipinas – Estados Unidos) are bilateral relations between the Republic of the Philippines and the United States of America. The relationship between the United States and the Philippines has historically been strong and has been described as a Special Relationship.[1] The current Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte, however, is supportive of a foreign policy that is less dependent on the United States, favoring one that prioritizes closer relations with China and Russia,[2] although the Philippines and the U.S. have a mutual defense treaty dating from 1951 and as of 2019 are actively working on implementation of an enhanced defense cooperation agreement concluded in 2014. The Philippines is one of the oldest Asian partners of the U.S. and a strategically major non-NATO ally. The United States was consistently ranked as one of the Philippines' favorite nations in the world, with 90% of Filipinos viewing the U.S. and 91% viewing Americans favorably in 2002,[3][4] 90% of Filipinos viewing U.S. influence positively in 2011,[5] 85% of Filipinos viewing the U.S. and Americans favorably in 2013,[6] and 92% of Filipinos viewing the U.S. favorably in 2015,[7] and 94% having confidence in former United States president Barack Obama,[8] making the Philippines the most pro-American country in the world.[9]
