INTRODUCTION The extensive involvement of the Michigan Historical Collections in Philippine materials is reflected in the rich body of Philippine materials held by the Michigan Historical Collections. Michigan residents and University of Michigan students have ties to the Philippine Islands. The collections document the American colonial experience as well as subsequent relations between the US and the Commonwealth and Republic of the Philippines. The University of Michigan faculty's interest in the Philippines was initially scientific, but it later broadened into political involvement. Dean Conant Worcester went to the Philippines for the first time in 1887, accompanied by University of Michigan zoology professor Joseph B. Steere was on his second expedition to the Philippines at the time. Under the auspices of the, Worcester led his own expedition. From 1890 to 1893, he was a member of the Minnesota Academy of Natural Sciences, and he later wrote a book about the Philippine Islands. After that, following the United States' victory over Spain and the ratification of the Treaty of Paris in 1899, the Philippine Islands became an American colony. Worcester was appointed to the First Philippine Commission by President McKinley. The Philippine-American War, which lasted from 1899 to 1902, is well documented in the collections. The uprising, led by Emilio Aguinaldo, was an attempt to secure Philippine independence and thwart American plans to retain control of the Islands. The papers of men like William Atwood, Harry Bandholtz, Frank Burton, Charles Carpenter, Russell McReek, and Owen Tomlinson, who played major and minor roles in the military operations to put down the Filipinos, are housed in the library. The papers of Simeon Ola, a brigadier general in the Philippine forces, are also on display. Many prominent citizens, including members of the Anti-Imperialist League, had spoken out against American involvement in the Philippines. The Michigan Historical Collections holds a small number of Anti-Imperialist League papers, which attest to many Americans' strong anti-colonial feelings. CONTEXT The Philippines and the United States of America have a long and illustrious history. For starters, Filipinos are the Americas' oldest Asian ethnic group. The first documented presence of Filipinos in what is now the United States dates back to October 1587 around Morro Bay, California with the first permanent settlement in Louisiana in 1763 the settlers there were called "Manilamen." and they served in the Battle of New Orleans during the closing stages of the War of 1812, when the British Empire and American Republic once again went to war against each other. Texas, an American state that was once a Spanish territory, was even dubbed "The New Philippines," so named because the Spanish wanted to replicate the prosperity they had achieved in the Philippines. The French and American revolutions inspired the Philippine Revolution against Spain in 1898. In the Treaty of Paris, the United States eventually purchased the Philippines from Spain, and the Americans then invaded and destroyed the First Philippine Republic. Except for a brief interruption due to Japanese occupation, the United States ruled the Philippines from 1898 to 1946, when it was granted independence after being devastated by World War II. For several reasons, the Philippine-American relationship is characterized by enduring resilience. For example, the United States took control of the Philippines from the Spanish and then shared power with emerging Filipino elite, introducing suffrage, implementing public education, and promising eventual national independence. A shared experience fighting the Japanese in World War IlI and defeating a postwar communist rebellion solidified the two countries' "special relationship." The United States used this alliance to force the Philippines to sign an economic and military treaty that favored American businesses and the military. Not only did Filipino leaders accept the realities of this strategic game and seize any opportunity to assert national interests, but they also benefited from American generosity. This mutual caging was at its most brazen during President Ferdinand Marcos' dictatorship. As a result of the Philippines' termination of the agreement, the military alliance suffered, and the US significantly reduced its support for the country. But the schism was short-lived, and both countries rekindled their "special relationship" in response to the United States' "Global War on Terror" and, more recently, Chinese military aggression in the West Philippine Sea.

CONTINUATION OF CONTEXT Highlights in the History of Philippine-American Relations United States - Philippines Relations In 1946, the United States established diplomatic relations with the Philippines. The United States - Philippines Relations are based on strong historical and cultural linkages and a shared commitment to democracy and human rights. The 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and the Philippines provides a solid foundation for our robust security partnership, which began during World War II, and strong people-to-people ties and economic cooperation open up new avenues for engagement on a variety of bilateral, regional, and global issues. The Bilateral Strategic Dialogue between the United States and the Philippines is an annual forum for forward planning across the spectrum of our relationship. There are over four million US citizens of Philippine ancestry in the country, and over 350,000 U.S, citizens in the Philippines, including a large number of veterans from the United States. An estimated 650,000 U.S. citizens visit the Philippines each year. There are numerous people-to-people exchange programs between the United States and the Philippines, including the longest-running Fulbright program in the world, the International Visitor Leadership Program, and the Kenney-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program. The American Cemetery in Manila is the largest American military cemetery outside of the United States, and it is home to the only Veterans Administration regional office outside of the United States. United States Assistance to Philippines The US government's objectives in the Philippines are to strengthen democratic governance, support Philippine government efforts to promote inclusive development, and contribute to Indo-Pacific security and development cooperation. The assistance provided by the United States to the Philippines promotes broad-based economic growth, improves Filipino health and education, promotes peace and security, advances democratic values, good governance, and human rights, and strengthens regional and global partnerships. The programs of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in conflict-affected areas of Mindanao aim to lay a long- term foundation for peace and stability in areas vulnerable to terrorism and violent extremism. The United States' assistance aims to strengthen cooperation through a whole-of-government approach that promotes a free and open Indo-Pacific. For more than 50 years, the United States has had a Peace Corps program in the Philippines. Disaster relief and recovery has also become an increasingly important area of assistance to the Philippines over the last decade. To date, the United States has provided over $143 million in rellei uriu recovery assistance to the people of the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan/devastation Yolanda's of the Country in 2013. In response to the Maravd siege, the United States has continued to support long-term reconstruction and rebuilding efforts, allocating more than $60 million to support ongoing humanitarian assistance and stabilization funding. Philippines's Membership in International Organizations Many international organizations, including the United Nations, ASEAN Regional Forum, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and World Trade Organization, are shared by the Philippines and the United States. The Philippines is also a member of the Organization of American States as an observer. For 2017, the Philippines served as ASEAN's chair and host.
