Tiger Tales

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Chris Gunness investigates the century-long history between the Philippines and its former colonial master, America. The USA conquered the country in the 1890s, when 600,000 Filipinos died. Washington promised to bring democracy, enlightenment and the American way to their "little brown brothers". But many in the Philippines say the USA was only looking out for its own self-interest. The Americans governed the country for nearly 50 years, and their influence continued even after independence. Now, with US special forces returning to the country to pursue
Islamic guerrillas, many in the Philippines feel that the American yoke is back. ProducerHugn Levinson
