Expansionist Party of the United States' netsite

The Philippines and
the United States

There are five items in this area, the first written in 1985 but updated in late 1997, the next three written in 1984 and not updated at all (two were published in that form; the third was a speech given in that form), and the most recent a December 2000 presentation by a Philippine organization allied with but not part of the Expansionist Party.  We think the items from earlier years still have much to say, because, alas, not as much has changed in the Philippines in the intervening years as should have changed. And of course the December 2000 presentation by the American Party of the Philippines has a great deal to say to Filipinos and Americans today.

1. Manifesto of the American Statehood Party of the Phillipines, a December 2000 presentation by a Makati (Metro Manila)-based organization that advocates that the Philippines reunite with the United States.
2. "Private Action for Philippine-U.S. Union" is XP's proposal that the Philippines revive its lost tie to the United States — not as a colony but as three States of the Union:  Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
3. Letter published by the California Examiner of Los Angeles.
4. Letter published by the Filipino Reporter, New York.
5. Text of a speech made by the Chairman to a Filipino-American organization in New York. These items show the Expansionist Party's long and consistent commitment to statehood for the Philippines and give context to our position that the U.S. should play a dynamic role in the modernization and transformation of Third World countries all over the world.
