But, more importantly, a former Spanish colony governed directly by Mexico under dispute. That encomienda system they left throughout their empire is pernicious and difficult as gently caress to break down.

How exactly did the US plant the seeds of political kleptocracy in the Philippines during occupation? I know virtually nothing about the period and don't know where to start that's more informative than wikipedia.
