The Philippines doesn't have the largest American population outside the United States; Mexico does. I'm removing the sentence that states that it does. Hihellowhatsup 00:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
The article said there are currently 8,000 U.S. forces in the P.I. Where are they?
Are we talking about U.S. Nationals or Americans? Should ambiguous or inaccurate titled pages like this even be on Wikipedia? Deepstratagem 05:46, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
The article says, "The Philippines currently has [...] Asia's third largest number of military personnel of the United States Army", supporting this assertion with a cite of a source which, as far as I can tell, does not support the assertion. I have palced {{ Dubious}} and {{ Failed verification}} tags. -- Boracay Bill 01:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I haven't looked for supporting sources with info or stats on this, but my guess is that Fil-Ams either retiring in the RP or establishing a second residence in the RP probably swelled the numbers of Americans settling in the Philippines, especially in the wake of RA9225. If someone has visibility of some sources on this, it would probably make a useful addition to the article. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 23:30, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
As this article is about about Americans in the Philippines, as I understand its scope, should Josephine Bracken be included or mentioned in it, if she already is not?-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 07:50, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

American settlement in the Philippines → Americans in the Philippines – WP:PRECISE. This articles includes past and present Americans in the Philippines. Alexander Iskandar ( talk) 16:45, 18 April 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. Winged Blades Godric 11:05, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
I'm reverting this edit -- there's lots of other instances of colonialization in the article and no other instances of colonization. This relates to this wider 2020 edit by me. I didn't explain that well at the time, so I'll do so here.
I'm no academic, but I've always distinguished "colonialize" from "colonize" by thinking of the latter as implying significant occupation, probably of a previously unpopulated or sparsely populated area, and the former as implying subjugation of a previously populated area without significant occupation. That's probably not 100.00 percent correct.

After looking at that stuff, I'm not sure. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 21:42, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

I've reverted this edit as unsupported and not WP:NPOV. I'm guessing that there might be reliable sources expressing various viewpoints about this, though, and that some info about that might have due weight for inclusion here. Please discuss below to extablish an editorial consensus instead of edit warring about this. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 12:14, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
I've reverted this edit, assuming good faith. Though I have not seen a full copy of the cited source, I note that the content that the reverted edit would have added says that American colonization has been a contributor to colonial mentality but, seemingly contrarily, I see on page vi here that chapter 11 of that book is headed, Filipino-American Decolonization Experience (FADE) FADE-ing Away Our Colonial Mentality. Perhaps more detail from the source and page-numbered cites would resolve this. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 23:34, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
