The Philippines must invest on mobile Land Anti Ship Missiles and AAMissile defence systems, for deployment around strategic areas, particularly in Palawan area to protect and cover "RECTO Bank" area and some parts of KiG.

For your benefit and save you the time. Posted here: http://s3.zetaboards.com/Defense_Philippines/single/?p=8083278&t=7651337

Chinese paper tags PH as US' 'paranoid junior ally'
By Alexis Romero
The Philippine Star


MANILA - A Chinese newspaper has tagged the Philippines as a "paranoid junior ally" of the United States as it warned that it would be against Washington's interests if the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) row gets out of hand.

In an editorial published on May 16, China Daily said the US should not create tensions by supporting what it described as the Philippines' "reckless stunts."

"Instead of spoiling its increasingly paranoid junior ally and muddying the waters, Washington should keep Manila within bounds and try not to stir up tensions by backing its reckless stunts," the editorial read.

"After all, it won't serve Washington's interests if the dispute in the South China Sea spins out of control."

Below is the article from China Daily:

Manila's premeditated ploy
(China Daily)
Updated: 2014-05-16 08:01


In a reckless move that further undermined the peace in the region, the Philippines detained 11 Chinese fishermen and their boat near China's Half Moon Shoal in the South China Sea on the grounds that they had poached sea turtles.

No matter whether the allegation is true or not, Manila is in the wrong because China has indisputable sovereign rights over the Nansha Islands and the adjacent waters, including the Half Moon Shoal, where the incident occurred, says a Xinhua News Agency commentary.

Thus any actions taken by the Philippines against the Chinese fishermen are illegal and invalid and can be regarded as direct infringements on China's sovereignty.

PHL to China: Arbitration offers ‘durable solution’ [gmanetwork]
June 4, 2014
Quote:
 
“We continue to urge China to reconsider its decision not to participate in the arbitration proceedings,” Department of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Assistant Secretary Charles Jose said on GMA News' “24 Oras”.

“We wish to reiterate that arbitration is a peaceful, open and friendly resolution mechanism that offers a durable solution to the disputes in the South China Sea or West Philippine Sea,” he added.

Continued rotation
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin ensured that the rotation of supplies and Philippine troops in the South China Sea is ongoing amid increased tensions between China and Vietnam, also over territorial disputes in the area.

PH prepares contingency plans for West PH Sea [rappler]

"Anything can happen. Anything can happen but we are preparing a contingency for this," Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin told reporters on June 4, Wednesday, when asked about the fears of the department.

Gazmin refused to elaborate on the contingency plans.

<snipped>

"Tayo ay nababahala pero hindi naman tayo kinakabahan. Ito'y ating responsibilidad na bigyan ng resupply yung ating mga tao dun at yung iro-rotate natin yung kanilang personnel doon sa area. Kasama doon sa trabaho so hindi kailangan kabahan," Gazmin said. (We are concerned but we are not nervous. It is our responsibility to resupply our people there and to rotate personnel in the area. That's part of our work so no need to be nervous.)

Chinese 'reclamation ships' deployed to 2 other Spratly reefs - Aquino
By: Dexter San Pedro, InterAksyon.com
June 5, 2014 12:30 PM

MANILA, Philippines -- China has also sent ships "that can be used for reclamation projects" to two other disputed territories in the Spratly Islands, which Manila calls the Kalayaan Island Group, President Benigno Aquino III said Thursday.

"Based on the latest report that we have received, we are again bothered that there seems to be developments in other areas within the disputed seas. Amongst them, there appears to be movement of ships -- although we are not saying that they are exactly the same ships that were used in Mabini (Reef) -- but there seems to be similar ships at the very least in Gavin Reef and in Cuateron Reef (Calderon Reef)," Aquino said at a briefing aired over state-run Radyo ng Bayan on Thursday.

"The pictures I saw were just ships that can be used for reclamation. But what we have are only pictures at this point, unlike in the case of Mabini Reef where there was a geographical feature," Aquino added.

COMMENTARY | What weakened PH position vis-a-vis China in dispute? Being a US protectorate
By: Prof. Amado M. Mendoza Jr., InterAksyon.com
June 8, 2014 4:24 PM
Quote:
 
For these views, I was vilified as "paid Chinese spy" and one reader even offered 10 reasons why I should be shot for lack of patriotism and treason. Another told me to read some more (perhaps the tracts he favors) but fails to provide a reading list. I should remind all and sundry that it's my job description to read.

Everybody, trolls or not, is entitled to their opinions, educated or otherwise. As my title indicates, I am professor and therefore profess instead of just teach.

In this piece, I shall try to develop views that will be elaborated further in future instalments of this column. I will explore the connection between domestic politics, internal institutions, and foreign-security policy.

Quote:
 
Our weak domestic institutions led to an effete security posture and foreign policy. Weak institutions have helped develop a culture of make-do or puede na. Puede ba yun sa isang seryosong Tsina?
Oo, puede na kasi nandyan naman ang mga Amerikano, the ever reliable Americans who will never ever have budget problems and will never get so embroiled in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, and elsewhere, that they will forget us.

Kasi, the Philippines, we, are SPECIAL to the American eye. We fought side by side in Bataan and Corregidor and Korea against the North Koreans and, surprise, surprise, the Chinese; and we joined the coalition of the willing a few years back.

As an American protectorate, we never bothered to build a credible military for our external defense even when the US military bases agreement was not renewed in 1991.

So we have jokes for our navy, coast guard, and air force.

I guess we should not complain if strong states decide to play with us. Furthermore, we should not complain if our allies do not respect us since we are a pretend-state.

Quote:
 
The equation "weak state equals weak military equals insecurity" holds for us in the South China Sea situation.

Nobody will build the strong Philippine state except us.
