Chinese foiled from occupying island By Francisco Tuyay | Posted on May. 18, 2013 at 12:02am | 3,718 views Philippine Navy ships used “bashing maneuvers” to drive away three fishing boats from mainland China that tried to occupy an island off Palawan in the West Philippine Sea on Tuesday, military sources said. The fishing boats were in the vicinity of Ayungin Reef, also known as the Second Thomas Reef, when the Philippine Navy ships arrived and made “circling maneuvers” that forced the Chinese to move out, the source said. “They were forced to back-off several miles from Ayungin Reef after our ships arrived in the area,” said the source who spoke to the Manila Standard on condition of anonymity. http://manilastandardtoday.com/2013/05/18/chinese-foiled-from-occupying-island/ |

"No sacrifice is too great in the service of freedom." “As long as we are not willing to provide an adequate, suitable and capable defense for this country, we will be oppressed, demeaned and dishonored. We will be the stepping mat of every country in this region,”(Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile) “Just because we are a very weak country militarily, we should not be taken advantage of by more powerful countries" (Senate committee on national defense and security chairman Panfilo Lacson) | |

Relax lang guys I have a bad feeling about this, I think Ayungin Reef is not really their target of invasion since they are very much exposed by doing that, diversionary tactics kumbaga. I think what they are really up to is Reed bank, considering the value of those reefs and what they can offer - duda lang naman ako pero kung may mga members sana ng PCG o Navy na magco-confirm na may assets tayo dun na nagbabantay I might get a feeling of relief, anybody who could answer this? |

Well said! I am in total agreement with him. Question is: When will this attempt to build a "minimum defense posture" be started? - and I am not talking about the planning stage, as it doesn't count. We all know talk is cheap, but it's the deed that brings home the results. Edited by Hong Nam, May 19 2013, 11:08 PM.

Oh, soon, not very soon (that means not for another year at least), but soon. I like the rumors floating around in the European and American Tor forums. |

It's still rumors. (And I couldn't hotlink it to you, because you have to use Tor. It's not even listed on TORDIR.) But from what I've been hearing, PH has "scouted" for the following;
And in American forums; (GGKnox was me, and LM means Lockheed-Martin) Hong, if you want replies, do it via PM
