Seems like PNoy would just let china to rescue that frigate. Giving away some serious filipino dignity just to avoid some confrontation. Time is Gold, time is near, its about time to have some balls made of steel! Send all our disposable ships there! Grey and white! |

according to a PN officer, a foreign civilian tug was also grounded in half moon shoal noong araw and he offered to pull the tug off the reef, but the reef tore big holes in the tug so they had to patch up the holes before the tug was towed. the spratly reefs are known as dangerous ground and is no place for poorly-trained ship captains. Anyway, lets hope this is an accidental and not intentional grounding. Actually, half-moon shoal is within easy striking distance of our Huey and MD-500 gunships. the problem is that if we strike hard in half-moon the giant can strike hard in Pag-asa island which is far far away(hindi pa nagawa yung jet fighters natin LOL ). its better to keep a cool head and give the giant the benefit of doubt for now. if there will be a big typhoon coming, that frigate is a goner and will keel over into the water good bye na lang, kaya kung ako ang mga komunista bilisan nila ang kanilang repair sa frigate. |

I think it is clear that the Dongguang 560 frigate was not passing by but a shield used by poachers in their catches off the Balabac Strait. So these poachers are protected by the frigate when they are chased by the PN/Bfar/PCG for poaching and uses Hashasa Shoal as the transit point. This article validates their thievery! http://www.interaksyon.com/article/37467/c...-ph-sea-turtles |

easier said than done sir. first off, we do not have the capability to do that. hold them with what? we don't have the ships. I honestly don't think BRP Del Pilar can do that, and what are we going to surround them with, Del Pilar and the Rajah Humabon, and the three corvettes? one false move, its like we're inviting them to a shootout. it might be grounded but that ship is lethal, aside from its guns, it carries anti-ship missiles to which Del Pilar and Humabon is both vulnerable, and for sure Chinese submarines is already deployed around the reef protecting that frigate, and ready to launch its torpedoes to any of our ship that dares to come nearby, even without provocation. remember they announced that their patrols are combat ready, what more with these PLAN warships. and i'm pretty sure other Chinese frigates and destroyers are just nearby. we can almost say that this is another tense situation for our outstretched navy and coast guard |

So you rather want to obey the oppressor? I'd rather confront and be beaten. That's atleast the proud and dignified man's way. |

We need to round up those locals in cahoots with the Chinese poachers. Then keep an eye of the poachers and catch them in their acts to keep those Chinese warships close to our shores away. It's pathetic to see our own kababayans in cahoots with this thievery. |

Thats exactly the message is. Yes use all the available assets and play Patintero with 'em. Because there's no otherway unless, if the philippines really wanna lose some face for doin basically nothing and if we keep doing nothing, china will keep bullying evrybody specially us. Its all our rights to keep them off our territory, and we already let them captured a couple of reefs so what else you wanna do.... |
