[edit] Citzens of the US?

Were Filipinos during the commenwealth era citizen of the US like Puerto Ricans are now? 4.142.126.88 05:09, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Eric

As far as I am aware, they were considered US Nationals but were not considered US Citizens.--207.114.206.48 02:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] coat of arms

Does anyone have a copy of the coat of arms from this period, the maiden in front of the volcano? It would be a nice illustration. Chris 13:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

This is what I am talking about

Or would the arms more properly be this? Chris 03:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

The maiden is just an allegorical figure; the second figure is a crude version of the actual coat of arms of the commonwealth. Gareon 07:45, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Can you find a better one for the box in the article itself? Chris 10:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

There is actually a version of the Coat of Arms on the 20 Piso Bill of the New Design Series. Also it can be found on the President of the Commonwealth flag of that period. But note that the shade of the blue is wrong.[1]--207.114.206.48 02:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
