The standoff bet Gorio and 2 Chi Surveillance Ships are still ongoing. The Chi's navy the apprehension of chi fishermen who strayed w/in PHL teritorial water, as Chi's (kakapalan ng mukha) claim it's their waters. The USN F18's and Sea Hawks are on blue alert accdg to classmate (18E Naval Aviator). They're confirming report that PLAAN Destroyer ship on the way to Spratly's. USAF P3C and USN E2 on patrol.

Chi's are really in the verge of getting hotter as they want to divide and conquer.

This is going to be hairy with PLAN destroyer steaming towards the area, but Goyo should not back down. We have the moral high ground since the Chinese fishermen have been caught with prohibited species on board.

This is a insult to us we must act upon it more money to our modernization and citizens must prepare to defend our country
"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)

time to fast-track the acquisition of a lot of big ticket items if the Chinese will continue to behave in this fashion. :demon:

We were told to leave our EEZ. Wow! Typical communist lies! When will they become more civilized? Their coast guard ships are within our EEZ and must be apprehended also. That is good if they bring in their destroyer. That just brings in the US Navy also. The more our modernization will be fast tracked. It is time to wake up Filipinos! Small wars looming over the horizon!

an additional response to our "tough" stance over Panatag (Scarborough): we're filing diplomatic protest against China.


Pilipinas, maghahain ng diplomatic protest vs. China
By Erik Tenedero, dzmm.com.ph | 14:41 PM 04/11/2012


Maghahain ng diplomatic protest ang Pilipinas laban sa China matapos mahuling ilegal na nangingisda ang walong Chinese vessels sa West Philippine Sea.

Ayon kay Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario, nakausap na niya si Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Ma Keqing at kaniyang iginiit na sakop ng teritoryo ng Pilipinas ang Scarborough Shoal.

"I made it clear that Scarborough Shoal is an integral part of the Philippines and is well within the country's 200 nautical miles Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and Continental Shelf."

Pero kinontra ito ng China at iginiit na pag-aari nila ang bahagi ng Scarborough kaya dapat umalis ang pwersa ng Pilipinas doon at tigilan na ang ilegal na mga aktibidad.

Sinabi naman ni Del Rosario na malinaw na naaktuhan ang mga Chinese na ilegal na nangingisda sa teritoryo ng Pilipinas at natuklasang naglalaman ng corals, giant clams at mga buhay na pating ang walong Chinese fishing vessel.


Maliwanag aniyang isinasaad sa international law na sakop ng Pilipinas ang Scarborough Shoal kaya nakahanda ang Philippine Navy na ipagtanggol ang karapatan ng bansa dito.

"Under international law, we have sovereignty and sovereign rights over Scarborough Shoal. Finally, I mentioned that the Philippines is prepared to secure our sovereignty."

<snipped>

Siniguro naman ni Philippine Navy Chief Vice Admiral Alexander Pama na patuloy na nakaantabay ang BRP Gregorio del Pilar para siguruhing nababantayan ang teritoryo ng Pilipinas.

Sa ngayon, nananatili pa ring naggigirian ang BRP Gregorio del Pilar at ang dalawang Chinese maritime surveillance ship sa Scarborough Shoal matapos nitong pigilan ang pag-aresto sa mga mangingisdang Chinese.

Ayon naman kay Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Commandant Edmund Tan, magde-deploy sila ng mga vessel para patuloy na ma-monitor ang sitwasyon sa Scarborough Shoal.
