kahit guro mag ka putukan na jan wala tayong magagawa.. it would take weeks bago may darating US assets para maka tulong satin.. tama na oras na para makuha nila lahat ng islang gusto nila. if mag protesta man tayo sa UN wala paring mangyari.. look what happen sa RUSSIA-GEORGIAN war. may nagawa ba? wala!! better example inside china tibet uprising and xinjian uprising may nangyari ba? wala! inubos yong nag rebelde. and malaki ang advantage ng china sa buong mundo sila ang producer ng rare earth metals na in demand ngayun. sila din ang nag produce halos lahat ng mga bagay dito sa mundo.

i suggest better increase our defense in all of the occupied island and kung mayrun pang vacant kunin na!! anu pa inaantay natin.. Scarborough shoal, recto bank, etc. yun vacant lagyan na natin ng mga floating bases natin kaysa maunhan pa tayu.. dyos ko naman anu pa inaantay natin?

ung may mga koneksyon sa DND sabihan ninyo kung anu inaantay nila???

Armed Forces Modernization Program Management office head Brig. Gen. Roy Deveraturda said the country would acquire eight brand new attack choppers worth P3.2 billion.

Deveraturda said the first four of the twin-engine combat utility helicopters would arrive in November and the other half next year.

The W-3A Sokol choppers, manufactured by Polish firm PZL-Swidnik, will be deployed to the West Philippine Sea, including to the disputed Spratly Islands, he said.

This is confusing.

The attack chopper acquisition is different from the combat utility chopper. We already know that the W3A Sokol is the chosen type for the Combat Utility (similar to the UH-1 Heuy).

For the attack chopper, the final model has not been announced to the public yet.

Any info?

Some quotes from Sen. Ferdinand Marcos, Jr:

"With regards the Spratly's dispute, the US and China will be both looking out for their respective self interests above all. Let's take a lesson from that and do the same. We cannot be guided by illusions or biases. Let's act according to our best interests without relying on others to help us."

June 24, 2011

"It's sometimes perplexing, but actually not, to decipher American statements as in those we've been hearing these last few days. They will stand by us and defend us from an invasion by China but they do not interfere in regional territorial disputes of other countries. And what exactly might our problem be? What are the chances of an invasion by China? And, where does that leave us in our present "quarrel" over Spratly's islands in as far as the US is concerned. As I said, lets accept our role as pawn in the chessboard and figure out for ourselves how to maneuver to serve our best interests. It's what the Americans will do, the Chinese will do, and it's what we ought to do so as not to be "sacrificed" unknowingly. Know our options and optimize; in wit, intelligence, and common sense, we should not feel inferior to any one in the world. Military and economic might, let's get down to earth and not even think of closing the gap in an arms build-up. We'll be broke in round 1. But within our limits, we can intelligently find the best solution keeping our heads up high. Let's break the habit of begging."

I am in the same page with BONG BONG. IT WON'T BE A BAD IDEA IF HE WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT. WE CANNOT BLAME FOR WHAT HIS FATHER HAD DONE. BUT THIS GUY IS GOING TO BE A STRONG PRESIDENT AND VERY INTELLIGENT. HE MAY BE ONE OF OUR FEW CHANCES TO BRING PROSPERITY AND STRONG AFP. I KNOW THERE WILL BE MANY CRITICS HERE BUT THIS IS JUST MY GUT FEELING ABOUT THE GUY. I LIKE PNOY TOO AND I THINK PNOY IS DOING MUCH BETTER JOB THAN THE PREDECESSORS. BUT I THINKG BONG BONG WILL STAND OUT.

Navy Seabees constructing 'starshell' on Patag Island

Quote:
 


MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Navy (PN) is about to finish construction of a second star shell-like structure on Patag Island in the Spratlys, which is intended to shelter and protect troops guarding and securing the country’s maritime domain in the hotly-contested West Philippine Sea from inclement weather.


At present, a 25-man strong Seabees groups headed by Lt. Armelito Alcazar are still in Patag Island building the structure, using pre-fabricated materials brought in by the Navy’s BRP Laguna (LT 501) from Cavite.

to expound on Sen. Marcos statement it may mean,

allow the Americans to secure its hold of the region and contain China's threat and bullying while...

negotiating with China on the peaceful settlement...

and while we stop begging for arms and build our defenses to control China's maneuvers.

all these must come together.

Eight dead in attack in China's Xinjiang region
07/31/2011 | 05:02 PM

BEIJING - Two men wielding knives attacked a truck driver and then a crowd of people following two explosions in China's far west, leaving eight people dead including one of the attackers, government-run media reported Sunday.

The blasts and attack occurred late on Saturday in the city of Kashgar in the Xinjiang region near China's border with Tajikistan, according to tianshannet.com, a Xinjiang government-run website, and the state-run news agency Xinhua.

One of the blasts was from a minivan while another occurred in a food market, Xinhua said.

There were few other details from the reports, but a group of exiles said martial law had been imposed in Kashgar and that at least 100 people had been arrested.

Xinjiang is home to many Uighurs, a mostly Muslim Turkic-speaking people native to the region, many of whom resent the growing presence of majority Han Chinese who have moved there. Some Uigher groups have campaigned for independence.

It was the second incident of serious violence in the region in two weeks.

Eighteen people including 14 "rioters" were killed in an attack on a police station in Xinjiang on July 18, according to the government. The dead included two policemen and two hostages in what Chinese authorities described as a terrorist attack.

That clash was the worst violence in about a year in Xinjiang.

Saturday's attacks began with the two blasts, Xinhua said. Two men jumped into a truck waiting at a stoplight and stabbed to death the driver, Xinhua and tianshannet.com said.

The pair then ploughed into a crowd, left the truck and started attacking people, killing six, Xinhua said.

The crowd retaliated, beating one of the attackers to death and capturing the other, according to the accounts, which did not further identify the attackers.

Twenty-eight people were hospitalized, it said.

There were no other immediate details. The reports did not say if authorities suspect there is any link to a Uighur separatist movement or to the July 18 attack.

"The entire city of Kashgar is under martial law, and authorities have arrested at least 100 Uighers," the German-based World Uyghur Congress said.

"There is no way to protest peacefully the Chinese suppression there, and the policy of calculated resettlement," group spokesman Dilxat Raxit said in a statement sent by email to Reuters, referring to ethnic Han Chinese being relocated to live in Xinjiang.

Xinjiang is strategically significant because it is adjacent to Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and it has oil, gas and coal deposits. — Reuters

add the problem on Moslem Uighers to the Tibetans, the Taiwanese, the Vietnamese and soon, the Filipinos.
