Baka ibig sabihin ni Mr. sec. gazmin talaga eh, "PH won't go to war over small Islands!" ^The weakest and least clever defense chief, even how he conducts his speeches, comments etc. "binabasa na nga niya script niya eh, nabubulol pa..." ^^That Harry Roque guy should tag along, to be forcibly shipped together on the next replenishment mission to Pag-asa Island, for him to see and feel for himself, what really is happening in real time. Mahina talaga kokote ni AFPC Catapang, sayang yung surname niya, di bagay sa kanya.. Dapat sinagot niya at binara niya on the spot si Roque. Yes, we are applying and going by the law with regards to our territorial claims n disputes with China, but are they acknowleging the validity of any legal such thing that we do? Even if the law is on our side, who will be the first to enforce this law? Our moves/ plans to use and apply legal approach in dealing with territorial issues should be backed up by the AFP Modernization plans, including emergency purchasing plans to set up an emergency task force, to specifically deal with these issues from day 1 of the Panatag stand off.. BUT, why only now..? When China's almost done with their dirty plans in WPS, is this another set up show, just to show the Filipino people that this Administration is doing everything it can with these issues..?? Same like the AFPM kuno(?) Looks and sounds like it...

^^ Yes it is. But how is it going to be enforced, and by who? An insurmountable task lies ahead. |

I agree with you Hong! Imo, This is the reason why I keep saying that everything that the present PH Govt. is doing are all pointless with regards to PH/ China territorial disputes, starting from passive approach on China's intrusions, aggressiveness, the AFP Modernization etc,. especially the UNCLOS ITLOS case filed to UN. Given that the PH AFP Modernization was already behind since 1995, and that our AFP's external defense capabilities are considered close to nil, compared to our neighbors armed forces. What the Aquino Govt. should have done in the first place, if they really care and are sincere in fighting for our Country's territories, rights and sovereignty of the nation, was to make the AFP Modernization as the no.1 priority, they should have alloted a minimum of P100B. Pesos = $2.2+ B. USD as the first initial. At present, yes, P75 B. Pesos was alloted, but after this was approved since from day one, the only big ticket purchase that they've accomplished that can help deter China's aggressive acts in WPS was the FA-50' Jets from SK and all the rest seems to be are all in a very slow motion pace and most are still under study, evaluation process etc. "kung baga eh very obvious na naka FREEZE da Ball mode...?" Like waiting for China to finish their illegal reclamation projects in WPS. Lol! "Compromised from day 1 since 2010" AFP Mod + ITLOS case = takes 2 to tango Can they blame anybody for thinking like this? Edited by Andres Boning, May 11 2015, 08:50 PM.

Salud!! I believe the onus should be now be passed to both your upper and lower houses. Do allow me to explain. - You've got a president (no matter who it is) which has a single term for 6 years... No guarantee of continuity especially when the "Game of Politics" rears its ugly head. And when you actually have one who does care for your armed forces... He has to deal with the "clowns" in both houses just to get the budget allocation for it. - While you've got upper and lower house members who have been in the same positions (either by political dynasties and various affiliations) for decades. Perhaps you should elect house members who have the military close to their hearts. So, they can "wrangle in" a president who does nothing while lobbying their party mates / cohorts for more funds. Of course it all depends if they are honest enough to keep their hands off on all that money. If nothing changes... I hate to say it and I do apologise for saying that you are pretty much screwed. |
