I think that the Philippines is ready to have freedom, and independence due to the following reasons:
The Philippines already had solid progress in trade and industry. They had enough money and stable economic growth. It was just that the U.S. received most of the money from trade. Due to things being established in the Philippines, by the Americans, we had access to tools for communication, like telegraphs and radios.  It also provided different forms of transportation like trains. We already had established and stable governments, which were civil and military. Health was not a problem at the time due to the Board of Public Health, and Philippine General Hospital being established. Other than that, we had proved to have capable leaders like Sergio Osmeña, Manuel Roxas, and Manuel Quezon.

Dear Mr. President,

I would like to ask for our independence back, because we have truly worked incredibly hard to earn it and just to lost it again. Don’t you think that seems a bit unfair? Our independence is our identity, it makes us who we are and it has been taken away from us. You have not only taken our independence, but you have also taken a bit of our culture away from us in the process. More and more people are being affected by colonial mentality because of it. However, I would like to say thank you though, because you have given our country new advantages for our citizens, like better communicating services and better education, and I’m grateful for that. I would just like to peacefully ask for our independence back without any problems and I hope you understand.

Dear President Roosevelt,
I firstly would like to thank you for all the improvements and contributions such as the establishment of public shool system, improvement of health and social welfare services, introduction of railroads, telegraphs and radios you have generously given my country, the Philippines. With these improvements and with our own skill and wisdom, I believe that the Philippines is ready to gain independence. Independence is a very big deal and must be given after thorough speculation. So, I’d like to give you some of the reasons why I believe that the Philippines is ready to be independent. With more Filipinos being educated and civilized with Act 74, I believe it will be much easier to lead and direct them to national development. I believe that with the new technology, namely telegraphs, radios and telephones, transportation methods such as railways being extended to further parts of the Philippines and health and social welfare services such as general hospitals, dispensaries and modern sanitation. Aside from this, the Philippines has also made some very notable and stable economic growth. We have also made a lot of growth in the trade and industry department. Government agencies and boards such as the Board of Public Health. We also have experience from various kinds of governments like civil and military. Filipinos also already have experience participating in the government like in the Philippine Assembly. I hope that the resons stated above will convince you that the Philippines is ready to gain independence and self-rule. Thank you (next).

Dear Mr. President.

We (Filipinos) should have freedom, because it’s our own country and we worked superhard  for our freedom. Mostly, we learned many things from Americans about education. So many of Filipinos are educated now. They will become a good person and work for our country. So I think our county can become an independent country.

Dear President Roosevelt Of The United States,

Please understand that we Filipinos are struggling under the Americans colonization. We have tried our best to gain our independence from your country, and would like to ask of you to let us get out of the American’s grasp. We have fought long and hard to get out of the colonization that your people have given us and feel that we deserve to be free.
Please respond immediately. Thank you.

Dear Mr. President,
I know that you are trying to help us be independent and I think that we are ready to do become independent after all you have thought us, but before we do that we should have a deal. You let us become independent and all of the things we have learned will come in handy. You can even send some of your people to the Philippines. We Filipinos can prove to you that we can lead ourselves to victory against other country invaders.
Ex: China.
We can show you how independent we can.
The president of the Philippines,
Manuel L. Quezon

I would tell the president of America to give us our independence because we know of what’s ahead. We are ready to govern ourselves. Please leave our country as we don’t need any more of your people in our country. We can face the challenges that are up ahead of us in the future and we know we can keep a stable government and maintain peace in the Philippines for a very long time. I can say now that the Philippines has what it takes to face any challenge that comes up to them at anytime.

I would say that the Philippines needs Independence because we need to show our own Identity. Not live in the American culture.

Dear Mr. President of the US,

I believe that we should be independent for we have worked very hard to gain this. We already made a stable government and learned many things. We want to not be dependent on others for we have our own identity. I would appreciate it if you would take our concern and put some thought into it. Thank you!

Sincerely,
The Filipino Government

Dear Franklin Roosevelt,

Greatest of greetings too you, me and my people would like to be granted our indpendence as a nation. We will be under yor influences
still, have a western-like constitution and a civil government.
Your grasp has lowered and your influence remains, and thank you and your nation for guiding us. The technologies that you introduced have greatly affected our communictions and transportation. The socioeconomic policies were a succes and medicines and proper health services gave us a boost in life expectancy. Thanks to the commonwealth period, we think we are ready.

Sincerely, Manuel L. Quezon

Dear Mr. president of United States, me and my fellow Filipino friend have decided that we would like to have independence. Thank you.

Dear President Roosevelt,

I would like you to give independence to the Philippines because the Philippines seems to have almost lost its culture and that there are many rights broken during you time of colonizing the Philippines, you should grant independence to the Philippines since the Philippines has people known as Filipinos that do not have the human rights that must be possessed.

Dear Mr. President,
I would like to tell you that we would be able to achieve independence, we would also be able to handle one another and maintain peace while being able to take care of our country in an orderly manner.

Dear Mr. Roosevelt,
I realized that you wanted to grant us independence, but when can we get this “independence” if you don’t deem us ready to have independence. I believe that you should consider how we have changed our ways from ruthless barbarians to civilized people when you check if we are ready for independence.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Mr. President, I ask you to give us freedom because we are able to stand on our own we don't need your help, I hope you can let us go as soon as possible because we can handle anything, also can you stop stalking us.

Dear Mr. Roosevelt I heard about you wanting to make the Philippines independent but I want my country to have our own resources. I know it’s hard to pass but we want our own resources. Thanks though. We shall never speak of this again. If you do the next letter from you will be ripped.

Dear, President of the United States of America...

I have realized that you wanted to promote the Philippines as independent. We shall accept the offer as finally our country will finally be free from the grasp of American hands. But, let’s have a deal. You leave my country alone, and we shall not waste the effort you have put into the education and health of the Philippines in vain. But, if any of your comrades lay a foot on the border, and you shall face consequences that your nation shall interfere. Also, I hope Trump gets fired.

Signed,

Sir I don't understand why did you pay to spain 20milion Mexican peso.
Because your country is good enough but you payed it so why did you pay for Philippine independence?

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Mr. President
The Philippines can handle themselves because of the resources we have maybe given or found in the Philippines. That we can always handle themselves with a stable government that was fairly made. As one of our rights our culture has been taken away by the commissions or acts your country has implemented and I think we can handle our own without the control of your country.

Dear Mr. President,

I would like to inform you that me and a few other Filipinos have agreed that we want an independence for many of us want to be free of foreign control but you can put military bases on the shore just in case some other country wants to try and conquer us since Japan is hitler’s ally.

Sincerely,

Random Filipino.
