This is like a typical Salpakan or Games of the Generals' trick of psychological warfare: 1. Chinese placing those 8 fishing vessels (PRIVATE). 2. PN sent their PF15 (SERGEANT) to apprehend them. 3. China sent 2 Research Vessels (SPIES). 4. PN sending 1 PCG ship, our very own version of PRIVATE. ![]()
This is really absurd! |

The PN next time should arm the PF15 with one 500ft long steel reinforced cables, w/ retractable auto pulleys that could tow those illigal chinese fishing vessels altogether. This way there will be no more waiting time till other capable chinese ships could intervene or rescue their comrades disguising as fishermen! --------------------------------------------- 8 barkong Tsino na pumasok sa Scarborough Shoal, nabuking na may dalang corals, giant clams at pating Date posted: Apr 11, 2012 7:50pm http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/video/11606...clams-at-pating |

China is using this to cover up their own problems at home. Using our coast guard to replace our PN's Goyo will ease the tension for the moment, but I still doubtful about the Chinese next move. They are sending their destroyer and maybe a submarine to scare us away. I hope the US Navy and other ASEAN members will also help us or they are still focused on the issue of North Korea's satellite launch.

^^I think the USN fleet in WPS area is in standby alert as of now, and constantly advising the PN what to do next. |

I honestly dont know how the philippines could defend their territory with such less capable navy and airforce. If only they could convert all their aircrafts into UAV filled with gasoline. Oh well, they got no choice but to talk it out with diplomatic approach while waiting for more bigger weapons (IF EVER THERE IS ONE EXISTING) being purchased, or suck it out with uncle sam! Meanwhile they should be grinding those brilliant corrupt officials who have neglected the AFP modernization in the past tsk tsk: PHL says it will 'secure sovereignty' if challenged by China April 11, 2012 2:11pm http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/25456...lenged-by-china |

Here's an excerpt from a report by Kansas City Star...
I was quite surprised how the news crept around the world and even ending in some local US, EU and Asian media/news within matter of hours... Now, the whole world is watching... LITERALLY... |

Agreed, if the scenario becomes worse (knock on wood), our PN will be fully engaged to a shooting scenario with the PLAN. We can't match their warships which are much modern and equipped with tons of weapons such as torpedoes and anti-ship missiles. The worst thing we can't ask them to only use machine guns and cannons to use against us. It's a mismatch. We will be back our primary weapon, to file a diplomatic protest.

No this is the time to start protesting in front of the Chinese Embassy and to start condemning Filipino's who don't support our rights to these territory. Ano hinihintay natin paawa from the world? |
