Panama, Puerto Rico followed pretty much the same path as the Phillipines. It was a post Spanish-American war thing.
Every June my neighborhood is host to a huge Puerto Rican Independence festival, where all the descendants of Puerto Ricans come back to the old neighborhood and celebrate the end of their dependence from Spain.
I can't wait to see the party they'll throw when they are finally truly independent.
