America having military bases overseas is apparently reason enough for us to surrender our sovereignty to the PRC. Might as well tell our fishermen to stop fishing and let their families go hungry, since PRC harassment of them is now magically justified bc of this map
"Sinophobia" you should see how easily I would fold for a chinita bro
OP to Tagalogs: stick to Bisaya or English when you're here in Cebu.
Maguindanaons to Tagalogs (I don't speak Maguindanaon and the only Arabic phrase I know is As-salamu alaykum):
Giving out a "fix bayonet" order should be in any bucket list of an officer.
The last Marine Corps “fix bayonets” order was given in Fallujah Iraq, in 2004.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
US Marines received a "fix bayonets" order during operations in Now Zad, Afghanistan in June 2008.

Our territorial claims are not Western inventions. Our fishermen are not Western proxies. And our sovereignty is not a bargaining chip. If avoiding conflict requires us to tolerate aggression and surrender what is rightfully ours, then whose peace are we really preserving?
The Armed Forces of the Philippines
The memes that came out of the Marawi Siege in 2017 are still unmatched. The AFP’s modernization has come a long way since Marawi, but I’d like to believe that one thing will always remain the same: the Filipino sense of humor 🇵🇭
Being the most junior officer in my battalion when we were deployed to Ampatuan (I was a 2LT), I was the first officer sent to take the J&J shot. Ppl were not aware of the effects of vaccines then, so the next day my CO had my pltn patrol over a mountain. I almost died 💀
Ask and you shall receive 🙏
🇵🇭🇹🇷 | It was this moment, the BIFF knew they f*cked up. FAFO moments for the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) terrorist thugs, they thought the @TeamAFP is joking with them. They thought the Armed Forces is still weak, now they tasted the capability of the T-129B ATAK.
So the incident was “staged” because Sec Teodoro came up with such an eloquent response on the spot? He’s a BAR top-notcher and Harvard graduate. This isnt his first time rebutting Chinese intimidation at an int'l conference. If competence looks “staged", the problem isnt our SND
Teodoro's clear pauses, combined with his own reactions, make it obvious to anyone who watched the video that this was a self-staged scene, then maliciously blamed on China—utterly shameless.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The note handed to Teodoro originated from a Chinese military attache at the embassy in Seoul and was delivered by forum staff (who mistook its intended recipient), per forum organizers and reports; it was not staged by the Philippines.

I am of the firm conviction that the success of national defense will not depend much on the armaments nor the training of our able-bodied men but will depend 90% on the will of the people to fight for the country.

I find it extremely ironic how the majority of Filipinos concede to defeatism towards our territorial claims in the WPS, while Ukraine on the other hand whom has successfully pushed Russia into a corner quotes Jose Rizal
