Commencement of Major American Immigrations to the Philippines The American colonial rule in the Philippines has seen major immigrations to the Philippines. Retiring soldiers and other militarymen were among of the first Americans to become long-term Philippine residents and settlers. The Education Act of 1901 authorized the colonial government to recruit American teachers to help establish the new educational system, and 80 former soldiers became teachers. They were soon joined by 48 teachers recruited in America who arrived in June of 1901 on the ship Sheridan, and by 523 others who arrived on August 1 1901 on the Thomas. Collectively, these teachers became known as the Thomasites.[1] Besides English, the Thomasites taught agriculture, reading, grammar, geography, mathematics, general courses, trade courses, housekeeping and household arts (sewing, crocheting and cooking), manual trading, mechanical drawing, freehand drawing and athletics (baseball, track and field, tennis, indoor baseball and basketball).[2] Many of these people settled in the Philippines and had Philippine spouses. By 1930, there were already thriving American and American Mestizo communities.[citation needed] The Thomasites are a group of about five hundred pioneer American teachers sent by the American government to the Philippines in August 1901 to establish a public school system, to teach basic education and to train Filipino teachers, with English as the medium of instruction. ...
Filipino mestizos are Filipinos of mixed ethnic background, though originally the term referred specifically to mixed indigenous Austronesian with Spanish ancestry. ...
1940–present The 1940s was a period of large scale influx of American immigration to the Philippines. However, this was cut abruptly by the World War II. Many Americans as well as American mestizos in the Philippines were interred and killed by the Japanese. After the Philippines gained independence from the United States in 1946, many Americans chose to permanently settle in the Philippines. The Americans until the mid-1990s had a heavy presence in the cities of Angeles and Olongapo, northeast of Manila, due to the presence of large US military bases there. During the American colonial period (1898-1946), a recorded number of more than 800,000 Americans were born in the Philippines. Large concentrations of Filipinos with American ancestry aside from Metro Manila are located in the areas of the former US Army bases such as the Subic Bay area in Olongapo, Zambales and Clark Field in Pampanga. The Philippine Children's Fund for America was created by the US and Philippine governments in 1991 to assist impoverished Filipino children of American ancestry by providing educational scholarships, employment and working visas to the United States. Around 56,000 children under the age of 16 benifit from the fund today.
