Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I give the Filipino people my word that the Republic of the Philippines will be established the moment the power of our Japanese enemies is destroyed."

"We shall keep this promise, just as we have kept every promise which America has made to the Filipino people."

"I give to the people of the Philippines my solemn pledge that their freedom will be redeemed and their independence established and protected."

"The great day of your liberation will come, as surely as there is a God in Heaven."
