Leyte Gulf 1944, Bay of Pigs Invasion 1961, Cuban Missile Crisis Naval Blockade 1962, Gulf of Tonklin 1964, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Taiwan Strait Crisis 1954-1996
These are just few historical examples we can learn from and this is only while they're still at sea.
True . Nothing changes in warfare but China has drastically changed their military forces over the years while Philippines were busy with their EDSA non sense .

Defeat or Victory, Filipinos always find ways. Unless majority of us turn to have an attitude like yours there is no hope na gyud.

Philippine-American War, 1899-1902 | by Arnaldo Dumindin
Realistically speaking , Philippines only won few battles but not war . Filipinos were under Spain's ass for more than 300 years . It wasn't even Katipuneros made the Spain surrender and kicked them out . It was the US ! It was only a fake war when the US "invaded" Manila that's why Pinoy insurgents aka Katipuneros weren't allowed to enter the "war zone" . Philippines didn't even put a fight vs US during the PHL-American war so Aguinaldo gave up instead . During WWII , Filipino men let the Japs rape their wives because they can't put on a fight - US and Flips were defenseless . I wonder what would've happened if McArthur didn't returned .
Now tell me , since when did the Philippines won a war by themselves ? Loooooool ... Puro lang palaban sa US kay ally kuno , pero katong wala pa ning Spratleys dispute isog kaayo nga ipa kick out ang mga US troops sa Subic .

If we annalyze things, this could be the only time we could see china vs philippines. I doubt the majority of chinese and pinoys are askings for war. and china wont war us cause we are US ally plus they had agreement with US not to interfere with national interest. and hell, china wont even war taiwan.
and yes we had war with milf and other insurgents in mindanao, who is asking for an independent state. but does also china had its own rogue province named taiwan. we should worry more of this insurgencies when they have their own air force, navy, army like those taiwan had
im sure things are being resolve as peacefully as possible; if theres a political will.. we can end it. cge ra man peace talks then ambush or hit town then war na pud, mao man na ang cycle at least naa pay control ang philippine government whereas nag mini cold war ang china and taiwan.
You're misleading . There's nothing wrong with glorifying the past and teaching history classes . What's wrong is people are posting their delusional thinking that Philippines will win the war against China just because we won the Battle of Yugtong Bridge in Korea in way back in 1951 . WTF !!!
