Why did the retention of US military bases in the Philippines so anger Filipinos?

The retention of US military bases in the Philippines angered many Filipinos because it symbolized a continuation of foreign dominance and colonialism, undermining the country's sovereignty. The bases were seen as a reminder of the unequal power dynamics between the US and the Philippines, particularly following the country's struggle for independence. Additionally, incidents such as the 1991 Subic Bay incident, where a US serviceman was implicated in a crime, fueled resentment over the perceived lack of accountability for US personnel. This sentiment ultimately contributed to the movement for the removal of bases, culminating in their closure in the early 1990s.
