Imagine if you will a world where the Japs Won the war and still owned the Philipines
Your people would be the Villains of the story. Your culture viewed as backwards at best, being erased by your Jap overlords who claim that they are Morally Superior forgetting to mention what they did to your family and countless other family's like yours, the Philopinos who fought the Japs would be called terrorists and traitors.
Your family would not of been allowed to leave for the U.S.
In this world I think you'd Hate the Japanese with a passion

Just one little detail. "Your people" were not invaded by a foreign country. They lost a democratic election fair and square (through their own fault - they split their own party), acted like very sore losers and started a very violent insurrection without any provocation. So yes, they were villains who afterwards did not get what they deserved because the government they rebelled against chose not to be vindictive and rather act with malice toward none and charity for all. And yes, their culture was backward.
