Comment from a reader on "Philippine Unity, Sovereignty, And National Identi...":
I stand corrected ! It would appear that the term dates to the pre 1935 era. Between 1935 and 1946 the Americans called the territory the Commonwealth of the Philippines, if however one checks the 1935 Philippine constitution the territory is referred to as the Republic of the Philippines which in modern terms is shortened to RP.
The term PI is generally limited to use by Americans and one Canadian that I know. I find that most educated Filipino's find the term PI to be offensive.
[The Subic Bulletin] If educated Filipinos found PI offensive then why do they bank with BPI?
