To be clear "The Philippines" meant the area outside the concentration camps established by the US within the Philippines so its hyperbolic in the sense that it doesn't mean actually everyone. But it did mean if you were on your property and over 10 you were to be executed.

The US Army was also involved in the systematic execution of 1300 Filipino prisoners of war in one incident in 1902.

To conclude my post a quote from Roosevelt:

"Nineteenth-century democracy needs no more complete vindication for its existence than the fact that it has kept for the white race the best portions of the new world's surface." Theodore Roosevelt, 1897.
