    because they were friends with USA and ofc still are... as asians they prolly wouldnt wanna be interested either in seeing countries all around them turn communist

    the two above: many many countries joined the korean war from greece to thailand... philippines had like the 4th largest contribution or so

    ...lol I'm with the other guy. My first response when reading this question was, "...Did they really? How on Earth did they get all the way up there?" I believe the Korean war was mainly between America, China, and Korea (before it divided, obviously)

    who told u that? it was only between koreans and the americans, i dont think filipinos were in it at all. its still a stale mate so technically the korean conflict isnt over.
