>The Philippines was badly devastated after the World War II next to Poland in terms of damages. The U.S. policy makers the top agenda was to rebuilt Europe and former enemy Japan. I don't why former enemies got the priority? A not significant amount of war reparation aids from U.S. and Japan went to drain mostly to the pockets of corrupt politicos.
It might have been proper protocol in the international arena to rebuild devastated lands of enemies. Although I suspect the reason why they helped Europe and Japan without throughly helping the Philippines is the same reason why they were quick to get into Bosnia and Saudi Arabia, but never showed up in Rwanda.
