Removed this statement

In reference to the Spanish word country being used for Puerto Rico.

This is a very common and accepted international status given to all dependent territories, also called dependent "states" by the United Nations although on many occasions it has been thought of as a possibility that Puerto Rico would become the 51st State of the United States of America.

Remove statement vis-a-vis Philippines

The Philippines become independent as a result of a congressional law and not through a unilateral right of independence. It is clear that a US State *could* become independent if Congress were to approve.
