^Psstt... we have no right to criticize the DND and AFP. We are only taxpayers. P.S. I am being sarcastic. |

well, lets hope for the passage of the FOI bill and that it will translate to more transparency from the DND... Edited by pachador, Dec 19 2012, 06:15 AM.

I suppose the Govt. - consisting of plenty of corrupt crocodiles - is simply waiting for a chance to pocket huge sums of money. If the Govt. truly cared for the security of the Philippines, it would have acted already. This back-and-forth game only shows indecisiveness. The modernization of the AFP is long overdue. Now, it's being delayed yet again. I have yet to see a politician who effectively cares for the welfare of the nation more than for the well-being of his own pocket. |

btw, this is not just the scarb. shoal the phil. is losing. one of the youtube video showed, some foreign news people rented a boat to check out the shoal. many miles from the shoal 2 huge chinese ships greeted them in radio saying, "you are entering chinese territory; turn back." so the news boat did, and they were escorted out for 10 more miles. i believe the chinese is occupying most of the northwest eez that belong to the phil. this is not just a tiny little shoal but tens of thousands of square km. that the chinese is cordoning off from the phil. eez. the local news would have u believe this is about fishing rights to a shoal but its a big dent of ocean that's really lost. we are still waiting for the phil. govt. to show its citizens its counter move. this modernization reminds me of an old series on tv called, "Get Smart". agent 86 portrayed by Don Adams was trying to escape an enemy prison. the irony is, the enemy was trying to get him to escape (with false information they gave him). the prison guard who intentionally carried the prison keys on his waist turned his back a few time so he can get whacked allowing 86 to escape. instead 86 would hurry the guard out of his cell so he can continue scraping the prison concrete wall with his dime. of course, the funny part is, it would take him 20 years to escape by scraping, assuming his dime won't wear off.

We shouldn't worry too much about those Chinese structures like the ones in Mischief Reef. Remember these are very isolated outposts. Once our capability has been amply restored, we don't have to take over these structures and physically evict the occupants. The PN can isolate them even more by denying PLAN access to them for resupplies and personnel rotation. Sure there will be protests, intimidation and even rammings from the Chinese, and they will eventually still gain access to these structure. But obstacles can bring uncertainty on whether or not these facilities will be sustainable in the future. The Chinese will not risk putting men there if there is a chance they cannot resupply them on time, and nobody would like to be posted there if there is a possibility that you'll go hungry and thirsty before the supply ship arrives. For now the Chinese has full, unhindered, access to them, maybe it's time we put some obstacles from time to time. |

All bark but the tail is still between the back legs. Sorry for that but that's the truth for now.
