Hello guys, am posting only the excerpts that i gathered from a news.. so shameful to know that we have a weakest military defense throughout Asia..

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippine military, one of Asia's weakest, is too weak to stop foreign intrusions in areas such as disputed territories in the South China Sea, and the only recourse is diplomatic protests, the defense secretary said Tuesday.

A Philippine newspaper reported Tuesday that the Chinese military has erected barracks, outposts and garrisons with helicopter landing pads and satellite transmission facilities in areas close to a Philippine-claimed island in the Spratly Islands, where recent territorial spats have renewed tension.

Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said the Chinese structures were built several years ago but that even today, the Philippine military would be helpless in stopping such expansion in the contested region.

"Until such time that we can upgrade our capability, we can't do anything but protest and protest," Gazmin told reporters.

China, the Philippines and four other Asian nations and territories claim the potentially oil-rich islands, which straddle busy shipping lanes.

Philippine authorities detected the presence of a submarine in the Sulu Sea off southern Jolo island in March. By the time the military reached the area to check, the unidentified submarine was gone, Gazmin said.

"It was an intrusion," he told The Associated Press. "But again, what can we do?"

The AFP should respond to this provoking action with language they understand... diplomat protest are taken lightly by the Chinese, our AFP should display their presence in the area. Everyone is saying that the Chinese has advance military stuff and we dont stand a chance,.. those stuff wont fit in the Spratly islands..
