The UK didn't colonized the Philippines. The Philippines was colonized by three countries-- By Spain (1565-1898), By America (1898-1946) and by Japan (1942-1945). There was a British Invasion (1762-1764) where they entered Manila and tried to colonize it but they failed. So, The British occupation was ended as part of the peace settlement of the Seven Years' War.
