I was taught the Philippines was a US territory. I just learned last night that hasn’t been true since 1946. I went to school in the 90s.

I mean... It was a US territory. Well, at least it was under control of the US in some way. I think one of/the first cruel and unusual constitutional challenges was over something that originated in the Philippines.

I suppose phrasing wins there. I meant u was educated in the 90s that it currently was a territory.
