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.

"The Pensacola Syndrome" : Akin ag napanpiaan so Estados Unidos?

Why we cannot trust the U.S.?

Inpromisa na US ya itdan to konoy Pilipinas na "powerful radar." Tan ontulong ira kono ed pamaalagey na sakey ya National Coast Watch Center.

Natan ka diad isabiy 2020 kapalduad pwirsa na US Navy iyakar da la ed Pasipiko.

During the quest for Philippine Independence in 1898, the US through Dewey fooled Aguinaldo into believing that America came to help the Filipinos get their freedom from Spain. In a blatant show of treachery, what happened was they used Filipino forces to secure Manila from the Spaniards so that eventually they could fight the Filipinos and take the Philippines from them.

Then came World War II. America's Europe First policy prolonged the agony of the Filipinos fighting in Bataan and Corregidor in the Pensacola, the American convoy that never arrived past Australia. 

The historian, diplomat extraordinaire, and biographer of Rizal, Leon Ma. Guerrero delivered a talk in 1969 and revised and published in 1972 about what he called the Pensacola syndrome, an allegory to what happened in Bataan that speaks on the over-reliance of the Philippines on the US for their security against external aggression.

Samay Symington report nen 1967 insalaysay diman ya say Amerika aliwan nakaokolan ya onrispondi no say Pilipinas et inataki na arum ya bansa somlang ed samay kanonotan ya "instant retaliation" ya walad saray tongtongan na US tan Pilipinas. Natan ya anggapo la US bases, ag nailaloan say mutual defense treaty na Pilipinas tan US.


Sayan panagdipindi ed US anggapoy agawaan ton marakep ta imbis ya napabalibali so AFP, tagaawat labat na obsolete iran kagawaan ya nanlapu rad Vietnam War.

Samay sinaliw na Pilipinas ya coast guard cutter, imbis ya akargaan ya kaokolan ya dipinsa, inlako ni na Amerika, pinantuboan da ti ni, et manliket si PNoy.

Guerrero gave the opinion that: "the Filipinos may wish to relieve their Pensacola syndrome, and consider the advantages of a self-reliant independent neutrality over a bilateral agreement with a superpower that, as the Symington hearings suggested, might well be only an agreement for the defence of the indefensible by the reluctant against the indifferent."

I agree that now more than ever we need to be self-reliant and independent and that means developing our military capability in matters of defense and offense and that our aim must be nothing far short than to become a naval power in the Asia Pacific.
