Very Accurate thoughts Sir T.....
This is precisely what I'm saying, rather than just stand and not do anything which we all know what the outcome would be. Like I said from my previous post we might even expose their weakness, but with this kind of laid back approach and our Govt. Leaders always saying that we don't stand a chance? YES it's very TRUE! But is that the way to motivate your Soldiers in Guarding, Protecting our Interests and territories, even if they are already inside trying to take or steal what's ours.... We're just going to say "We are in no position to confront those intruding in our area because we don’t have the capability."-Sec.Gazmin So meaning "Do Nothing Policy" is being implemented right now... Our Soldiers should always remember their oath and as mandated by the Constitution to ensure the integrity of our territory and also to ensure the sovereignty of state. You are dead right in saying "If it's necessary for a group of real military LEADERS to take preemptive action on their own and fix the problems without waiting for sanction. I hope the Govt. and most especially the AFP would change the way they think and to show more Patriotism, which we last felt during Marcos years, regardless of what they say against Pres. Marcos "those were the days......" |

In conjunction with marker removal and other efforts, I would make it an effort to procure manned and unmanned ISR assets. I would contract a few foreign individuals such as americans to sit in the back of the manned ISR platform and conduct missions over OUR islands. (The yanks seem to be taking the lead on these capabilities) The americans will consider retiring P3 assets in the future as they are replaced by newer platforms. The P3's are similar to C130's and would provide us with an anti-ship and anti-sub capability. This will help demonstrate and bolster our claims over the territory, gain data on the Chinese aggressors and in a worst case the Chinese would fire on this unarmed (ISR) asset, we would then have martyrs of Filipino and foreign nationalities that would highlight the territorial aggression of the Chicoms. The americans would fully exploit an issue like this in private diplomatic channels to use against the Chinese as well which would further undermine the PRC position. Peace |

Philippines to file new UN protest on China By JIM GOMEZ, Associated Press Jim Gomez, Associated Press – Thu Jun 2, 9:41 am ET MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines president says his country will file a new protest at the United Nations accusing China of territorial incursion in disputed South China Sea islands. China earlier denied allegations that its ships intruded into the Spratly Islands close to the Philippine coast to build new structures and fortify its claim in the potentially oil-rich region. President Benigno Aquino III told reporters during a visit to Brunei on Thursday that the Philippines plans to file a protest at the U.N. . Aquino said he still hopes to visit Beijing this year and engage China, a key trade partner. The Spratlys have long been feared as a potential flashpoint of armed conflicts in Asia. They are also claimed by Vietnam, Taiwan, Brunei and Malaysia. UN Incursion protestation by Phils against Chinese |

Much better if Protest with actions against intrusions, blowing up and destroying markers and buoys and putting back our own markers... What those Filipino fishermen did was heroic and our Govt. and Soldiers should be ashamed, that an ordinary Filipino was able to do what they were suppose to be doing... while them "DO NOTHING!" |

AVB ,How do you know its an ordinary fisherman? Do you think they have the facilities to do it without the blessing of the AFP? take note that the area today is a little bit tense and no ordinary fisherman will dare to go there without the knowledge of the AFP/ |
