we shouldnt let our pride be hurt when we are given these crafts by the US. to me, and for the ill equipped PN,these cratfs will serve well, ferrying troops and supplies is important as combat duty boats. Forget arming them with any big guns and stuff, these are utility boats for goodness sakes. We should be thankfu to the US for this boats, cause theyre aint any other navy giving us a bigger boat di ba?If im gonna be pissed about anything, is because were selling our rights to the super powers, whether US or any other, in exchange for theyre bullyimg. Better receive a utility boat without any strings, than a destroyer with all the conditions that will tie us up. Its not the US responsibility to arm us up to our teeths, its the AFP and the governmets duty to secure and defend the people. to the AFP, buy and fast track those planned and stalled combat hulls!

Lets Hope... ![]() That time will come... that we Filipinos can build our own War Ship, rather than just... asking donations from other countries... |
