Philippine-US military defense pact: Anggapoy kakanaan to! (Useless)

Nen katantaon, say US angiter na 24 ex-US Air National Guard F-16 fighter jets ed Indonesia. Kekerewen ya na Pilipinas ed US balet say angiteran to so Indonesia ya anggapo met so defense pact dan dua.

Manggegeget tak ed saya.

I am seething in anger having known this.

The US gave F-16 jets to Indonesia when it had no defense pact with that country.

I believe it is really the policy of the US to make us perpetually dependent to them in terms of military defense.

They are saying that they will help us with "minimum" credible defense.

We must not be content with "minimum." We must make it to the maximum. Let us now develop our nuclear capability!

The Dodds report shows that during the time of Truman administration it was their policy to make the Philippines the raw material supplier to Japan in the latter's rehabilitation.

Makaayewak ya talaga ed Amerika.

We must now cut off the last vestige of our dependence to the US. This is real independence.

We must envision to become a maritime power in the Asia-Pacific.


Our approach to our security must be multilateral.

1. Sign a military pact with Japan. I think Japan is more sincere in helping us than the US. Secure Japanese technology in building ships.

2. Establish defense alliance with Russia. Secure Russian technology in building submarines, nuclear missiles, naval carriers.

3. Sign a nuclear agreement with Iran.

4. Develop military ties with Spain and Latin America.

5. Establish military alliance with Vietnam.

6. Strengthen political and economic ties with Brunei.

7. If the South China sea dispute is resolved, strengthen military and economic ties with the People's Republic of China.

Sakey a limos: US aid to Philippine military mere pittance! An insult to Philippine-US defense treaty

Say $ 30 milyon ya tulong na Amirika ed militar na Pilipinas et melmelag ya singa insulto ed pigaran taon lan Philippine-US mutual defense treaty. Sayan tratado et apirmaan nen Agosto 30, 1951 ed Washington, D.C. Sikaton natan ya taon walay 61 taon lan apalabas. Balet antoy naitolong na Estados Unidos ed Philippine military?

Obsolete iran kagawaan.

Diad inkakapoy daray pangolo ya sikara di Quirino, Magsaysay, Garcia, Macapagal, lautlay Marcos, Aquino, siempri ayay si Ramos, Erap tan GMA tan diad inkakorap da alingwanan dan pinakasil so militar ta pian ag la ondipindi ed US.

Nen panaun nen Marcos, walay militarisasyon ya agawa balet antoy agawaan to ed modirnisasyon na AFP?
Inusar toy militar ta pian onbayag ed poder, ta pian naipakolong to ray onsosomlang ed sikato.

Say isyu na military bases na US so akaalay atinsion daray pangolo ya agda ninonot ya ta pian manmaliw ya maksil ya poder ed Asya kaokolan ya itday atinsion so militar parad siguridad na bansa, diad iyaliguas na tiknolohiya tan diad ikurang na industriyalisasyon.

Nen panaun nen Ramos nipasa so ley na AFP modernization balet anggapoy agawaan to ya no ag say militar nanmaliw ya obong daray matakew.

The US aid of $ 30 million cannot be compared with the $ 3. 075 billion US military aid to Israel for 2012. Last year, US aid to Israel military was $ 3 billion. Ag naikompara. The aid to RP military is 0.0097 % of the US aid to Israel military.

Makapalek yay US. Makapalek lalo so gobiernoy Pilipinas ya maliket la ed sayan limos.

Then there is a new bill in US Congress that will give additional $680 million to Israel to boost its missile defense.

What's $30 million to that?

Philippine relationship to the US began in 1898 when the US navy under George Dewey intruded into our affairs and killed the First Philippine Republic, the first democratic republic in Asia.

US-Israel close relationship started only in 1948 when the US recognized Israel in the UN not without a minimum coercion on Philippine side to vote with the American position.

Philippine-US mutual defense treaty, antoy agawaan to ed kapasidad na militar na Pilipinas ya idipinsa toy dili ton tiritoryo?

What did this treaty achieve for Philippine defense posture particularly article 2, which states that:

"In order more effectively to achieve the objective of this Treaty, the Parties separately and jointly by self-help and mutual aid will maintain and develop their individual and collective capacity to resist armed attack"?

I will underscore US "mutual aid" since the US was a global power militarily, economically, and politically since then up to the present to a small power such as the Philippines.

Zero.

It was the obligation of the US to help the Philippines and build up its self-defense prior to its independence in 1946 only to be bungled by Douglas McArthur so that when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and the Philippines, the country and its people were humiliated, devastated, ruined.

So, is $30 million the price to pay for Bataan and Corregidor where Filipinos and Americans died in defense of liberty?
