Note: This is the final installment in The Courier's serialized history of the struggle for independence in the Philippines, written by Filipino Poet, Author and Activist Oscar Peñaranda, who also teaches Filipino studies at James Logan High School. This week, the author provides his commentary on the events of the U.S. Philippines War.

War by any other name
The reason that the U.S.Americans could and did not get an actual date of this war was because they did not want to call it a war. There was therefore no official declaration of war, so there could never be an official termination of war, a sort of a Treaty to end it, as the Treaty of Paris did with the Spanish American War. But this was tenfold more of a war than the Spanish American War ever was. The U.S.Americans called it an insurrection, an "uprising". Yet their (the U.S.) struggle for nationhood and independence they called a Revolutionary War, a War for Independence. Though they did not call it a war, the U.S. government and many of its officials did in fact, in writings, proclamations, correspondences, and certainly verbally, called it a war.
