Well, 2 years of British occupation wasn't enough to leave a British influence. We are "Americanized" as they say since we copy changes from America. It is a bit scary how we tend to copy everything American because our story is so much similar.. just that we are about 10 years delayed.
Before, when we see a Caucasian, we always refer to them as "Joe".. and little did we know that this person may not be American... Western for us is equated to America... can't blame us though... Our history has American influence pasted all over. After the Spanish rule, up until today, American influence is still prevalent.
Wonder what Philippines would be like if only we were a British or French colony for a long time... that will be interesting.
