okay unta ni. but with the kind of economy we have right now, we can only do so much but not really that much. else gusto nato i follow ang example ng North Korea, bahala nag gigutom basta naay ikapang hambog na military...

but im still hoping na sana, our govt will start to modernize our AFP...

I think naa man ta budget... Gi-kurakot lang sa government... Apil pa ang pork barrel sa senators...

[wikki]

It is their right and their only sole purpose. But the question is...


By whom's directive and motive? Taiwan being one of the most corrupt governments in Asia, suffers media mismanagement and controls by tycoons and high-ranking public officials.

umm you meant to describe the Philippines right? LOL even our own president's allegiance is questionable at best.

so ang pasabot ani if di ma dakpan pusilon n lng? no one is saying na we shouldnt protect our territory. But imagine if atong fisherman ni lapas unya gi pusil di ta masuko?. Kita as pinoy mas maka relate ta kay daghan au ta kababayan nag TNT.. its a gray area man galing i thnk almost everybody does this ginagmay ra au ni na offence..(bisag unsa na nation ani kay maximum tolerance man galing gyud) . People on this board keep on saying sa russia na incident but Really russia? do we want to be like russia. Why man di ta mo compare sa Japan??. As for the PCG defending for their life di man pud galing ni ang case i dnt thnk naay mo hamag na barko labon gi pusil naa chance na dasmagan but they were trying to get away not fight.. (better wait for the result of the investigation) In the end fisherman gi patay sayop kay ni poach sila but are you guys really saying they deserve to die?

Our country is kept intact not by politicians blabbering in congress or anywhere else. It's the few brave souls in the PCG, BFAR, and AFP (particularly the PN and PAF). Them and their guns are the walls that keep intruders and future enemies of the state at bay. They were trying to get away? ngano man? why do they refuse to be arrested? why ram their ship against the PCG? Warning shots were fired. If you hear guns firing, that's the universal language to stop whatever you are doing. They were intruders by that they were already a threat, they rammed the PCG ship which confirms them being a hostile and a live threat. So what do you do if there is a threat against the resources of the state and the security of your crew? you act according to the threat. Kung banggaan ang barko nato, alangan man mu baws sad kag bangga? What the PCG did was a no-brainer, someone tries to be a wiseguy and threatens ramming, they get the appropriate response. Hell, the PCG should have even sunk that taiwanese vessel! anyway, this forum is nice. dali ra mailhan ning mga naay potential to cajole with potential enemies of the state.

Yes, if the statement includes the Taiwan being " one of ".... Then the Philippines is almost always is included in the category.

And amid this crisis, the Philippines' newest warship has embarked on its first journey, and will patrol our shores.

The BRP Ramon Alcaraz (PF-16)




What the new PH warship is capable of

[dbalagosa]

with all due respect to Mr. Lauro Baja Jr., kay career diplomat mani siya and even once presided the UN Security Council,
pero kanang “is behaving like an irresponsible neighborhood bully and it is not surprising since it is a province of China"
klasi nga statement pang bata man na. It achieves no other purpose except palagot ra sa kontra

mao na gi ingun nga ngpahungaw lang na si Lauro Baja Jr.

I guess nobody told the President that this is how much Taiwan spends on its military every month...

if you happen to see congress at taiwan mas wild pa sah atoh.. sapatos, chairs ug unsa pa mang lupad didto. and yes, grabe ang media mo ignite ug propaganda didto mura ragyud ug PRC.

[hunyanggo1977]

di pod nato ma blame ang Taiwan why they were acting like a bully. kay mora man pod jud na ug Israel ug North Korea and Taiwan. They are fighting for their survival. The have to show to the world that they are strong and capable to react to any threats to their country. Mopakita lang na sila ug gamay nga weakness, aw bawion jud na sila dayon sa mainland China. Thats why Taiwan is continuously developing their military might. And they want to show to the world that they are strong and capable...
