I think we should send also our own coast guard vessels within the ayungin shoal area.. not to provoke those chinese but also to assert what is ours.. |

As stated by PN before, they need frigates as much as as fast as possible and the WHECs are the fastest they can get... The PCG would be well-equipped when the 10 boats from Japan starts coming on 2015. |

I wish these reporters would at least get the difference between Marines and Soldiers right, no matter how similar civilian reporters think they are. Interaksyon

Even one WHEC for PCG would be enough. Why? Ayungin shoal is dangerous for bigger vessels to approach. What we need is helicopter transport of supplies from WHEC stationed nearby to BRP Sierra Madre. I think those Japanese patrol boats do not have the capability to support helicopter ops. |

US helped PH Navy in Ayungin mission April 11, 2014 Rappler MANILA, Philippines – The US assisted the Philippine Navy in the tense mission to rotate troops trapped for 5 months in the disputed Ayungin Shoal following China's "blockade," Philippine Ambassador to US Jose Cuisia Jr. said Friday, April 11. "I don't specifically know the details and they will not discuss that. When you tell them, then China will know what to look for the next time around," Cuisia told reporters in Manila. "We know that they [US] assisted the Philippine Navy in being able to evade the Chinese ships.... I think it was the strategy that was discussed," Cuisia added. Cuisia said this was "normal" and "will continue" as part of the "continuing military security alliance" with the US, which has been helping the Philippines in aerial surveillance. The US is a treaty ally of the Philippines under the Mutual Defense Treaty and Visiting Forces Agreement. <snipped> ![]() A US Navy P8 Poseidon spotted circling and flying low by reporters in Ayungin shoal. "I can feel their (US) presence. Paikot-ikot," a reporter who joined the mission told Rappler. This gave them a sense of security, the reporter said, especially after the incident with the Chinese coast guard ships and the presence of Chinese helicopters. Rappler |
