In time for the 125th anniversary of June 12, 1898, public intellectual Manuel L. Quezon III, grandson of the country's second president Manuel L. Quezon, questions whether that is even the right date to mark the nation's independence. Howie and Manolo discuss Filipino victories over Spanish forces in many provinces that led to a short-lived independence, before the US arrived to occupy and colonize the country. Manolo reminds listeners that even after defeat in the Philippine-American War, Apolinario Mabini wrote that the struggle for independence would continue through other means, which did happen through lobbying and advocacy when the United States granted the country its independence on July 4, 1946. Manolo connects the dots from 1946 to the fall of dictatorship in 1986 to, finally, what he asserts was the rise of a new national consensus in the 2022 elections. In saying that Filipino patriotism is strong, he distinguishes it from nationalism, which is less so. In this view, "patriotism" or the state of being "makabayan" is a love for one's native land, community, and culture, as opposed to the "nation" that includes its form of government and how it is being run. Families can appreciate history better, Manolo advises, by doing pilgrimages together to historical sites, and searching out and eating our heroes' favorite food.

In part 2 of the Manolo Quezon episode, he connects the dots from the independence in 1946 that his grandfather Manuel L. Quezon did not live to see, to the fall of dictatorship in 1986 to, finally, what he asserts was the rise of a new national consensus in the 2022 elections. Manolo and Howie tackle the meaning of one of MLQ's most famous quotes: "I prefer a government run like hell by Filipinos than a government run like heaven by Americans, because however bad a Filipino government might be, we can always change it."

("Filipino patriotism is very strong.") In time for the 125th anniversary of June 12, 1898, public intellectual Manuel L. Quezon III, the grandson of the country's second president Manuel L. Quezon, questions whether that is even the right date to mark the nation's independence. August 1896 was when Filipinos declared they desired to be free, and July 4, 1946 was when the United States granted the country its independence.

A bit over one percent of Americans are of Filipino ancestry, making them one of the largest Asian American subgroups. Unlike Chinese, Mexicans or Europeans, Filipino immigrants are unique in that their homeland, the Philippines, was actually an American colony for five decades, between 1898 and 1946. This is one reason that the level of English fluency in the Phillippines is very high, a factor in very strong economic integration with the US through outsourcing. And yet despite the historically close ties between the US and the Philippines, most Americans are unaware that as many as one million Filipinos died in a rebellion against the US army 120 years ago. From the perspective of many Americans, the Philippines is just another Pacific nation with more American entanglements than most. Today on the Unsupervised Learning podcast, Razib talks to Manuel L. Quezon III, columnist for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, and grandson of Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon. Razib tells Quezon that his first awareness of the Philippines came with the overthrow of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, and they discuss the fact that the late dictator's son is now President-Elect and what means for politics in the island nation. Quezon addresses how Filipinos view themselves, whether as Southeast Asian, Pacific or Latin? He also notes that the global rise of populism has arrived in the Philippines, and predicts that Americans may not recognize much of its politics in the near future.
