The Philippines was occupied by the British during the seven year war. Could it be considered a former colony? And therefore be eligible for membership to Commonwealth?

For those who have no idea but answer anyway:
Seven Years' War
"Battles occurred in India, North America, Europe, the Caribbean isles, the Philippines and coastal Africa. "
"The Royal Navy captured the French sugar colonies of Guadeloupe in 1759 and Martinique in 1762, as well as the Spanish cities of Havana in Cuba and Manila in the Philippines."

Wow -- this is certainly a stretch, bro. Wikipedia, for starters, is a great resource, but subject to correction, as this "fact" will certainly be edited.

Whether it was occupied or not, this "fact" is not taught in the Philippines (and there's no reason to have left it out). The Spanish colonized the Philippines from the time of Magellan until the American period from President McKinley's term until the end of WW II.

Wikipedia got this one wrong.

And where did you discover that the British occupied the Philippines during the Seven Years (French & Indian Wars in the US) War??

I'm fuzzy on that history...and suspect that you are as well.

I think not. It was only under The Spanish, American and Japanese regime. There wasn't any idea like that in the study of Philippine History.
