What China really wants is to get rid of U.S presence they're being surrounded i guess with over 800 bases around the globe pati ba naman sa neighboring country meron silang presence I think what we need here is to gain their trust at 100% rate

Binigyan niyo pa ng airtime yang CPP-NPA-NDF. Terrorista mga yan!

🥲🥲

The operative word is 'Mutual Defense'. If somebody hurt Uncle, Juan will be there as well. Better make Juan ready. Worst comes to worst we will need to receive refugees for humanitarian reasons.

At this stage, its a loss-loss situation. China is slowly occupying our territories without resistance despite the countless meeting and agreements with their gov't. Remember this all started two years after the Americans left the US bases in the Phil.

THE CPP-NPA IS A TERRORIST GROUP. WHY ARE YOU POSTING STATEMENTS COMING FROM THEM? TULOG SA PANCIT PANCITAN SI FLM NINYO SA PAG FILTER NG NEWS

It’s obvious that the CPP-NPA says these because the country’s military relations will be strengthened. Saan ba galing ang ideology ng NPA? Diba sa China? Taena GMA palitan ninyo SocMed team ninyo mga NPA pala yan!

Baka naman gusto ng CPP lamunin ng tsina ng buo ang Pilipinas? Pareho lang sila ng rhetorics?

If there will be a US-China, the Philippines will inevitably be involved because of its location. Kung Hindi nakaposisyon Ang US, eh Ang China Ang poposisyon...Kaya nga puros air strips Yung NASA WPS.

opinion: no its not , as long as it follows on the international law and mutual defense treaty and to balance the diplomacy. the EDCA is an upgrade of our defenses investments, it could boost economy create jobs along side with it.

Why give the CPP a platform? 🤔

'Worriedly' said by a terrorist group.

Damn

Any war between China and America will involve the Philippines because we are right in the middle transit point.
