WITH President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. giving the United States nine bases for its increased military deployment in our country, which US officials, media and analysts repeatedly link to possible war with China, Filipinos should now assess what exactly our leader signed us up for by going all in with the 2014 Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement .
While Russia and the West blame each other for the war — with Pope Francis understanding Moscow's fear of Ukraine joining the US-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization , bringing 'NATO barking at Russia's gates' — the inconvenient truth is that the war helps constrain Russia.The conflict has hammered its forces, and when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was set to talk peace last April, then-British prime minister Boris Johnson urged continued fighting with promises of NATO arms.

Well, I can't blame the president, na bbwesit na siguro sa garapalan ng China, nawalang respeto at galangin Ang Pinas.. Kasi Anjan parin Sila karagatan ng PH
So lumabas din ang totoo. Iba ang sinasabi sa ginagawa. Independent foreign policy is all words.
Para sabihin na pingpatuloy ni BBM ang plano ni FPRRD, mayroon b talaga nkakaalam kung ano ang nasa isip ni FP Duterte? Tuwang tuwa kayo sa approach ng present government sa War kunu on Drugs tapos porket hindi nyo gusto ung pagdagdag ng bases ay kasalanan ni FPDuterte?
Admit it, that the Philippines are dependent to both the Superpowers socio-economically and are in conflict geo-politically.However, we must choose the lesser evil: 'the future'-US or 'the past'-China?Don't be hipocrites.
He will go down in history much worse than his father. He´ll be remembered as a traitor to his country as well as to the filipino people.
We are future Battlefield like Ukriaine 😆😆😆😆
Tangna nyo mga utak biya. US presence in WPS is about protecting the major shipping trading route that western countries rely on imported products coming from ASIA. Anong sovereign or terrorist ang pinagsasabi nyo. Bahala kayong magpatayan dyan.
More opportunities for our fellow peenaise to get impregnated for the american dream!!! 🥳🍻
Who the hell wrote this? Manila Times shouldn't just allow anybody to publish things, specially if his analytical skills is little to nothing. Who says we don't need to modernize? AFP MODERNIZATION was already mandated!!
I do believe we need the American presence sa Pinas. First to keep China in check, smugglers and drug traffickers that uses our waters to ship their contrabands. We lack man power to guard our islands. Not that we’ll have the Americans do the guarding but smugglers beware.
China doesn't have to do anything bad to the Philippines. Why? They already own it. Just watch the news and realise what is happening.
As far as I can remember, China hasn't committed any destruction of any other country. While the US, wherever they go, always leave the place decimated. War in the Pacific region will be sparked by the US.
Actually not a 180 degree turn. Duterte had been in touch with USA during the time of Trump.. while sinuspend nya ang VFA last 2020. Binalik nya rin ito
PBBM never said that statement. Only the author of the article said that…
No, Mr. Saludo, PBBM did not reverse the policy of FPRRD. He only continued what was upheld in 2021, which was to implement EDCA (signed by BS Aquino). Sana nililinaw ito before making COMMENT onto something slanted view.
Actually, he just continue what Duterte did.
disappointed bongbongmarcos
Marcos looks slave
I don’t want the Philippines to be enemies with China. Unfortunately, for China, they look weak now. They should have had a mutual defense treaty with Russia and DPRK. Their obsession with business and profit is their downfall.
Balik na naman tayo sa palaasa sa US kaysa forging an independent path. Hay. Utak talaga ng elites natin 🙄
Chinese military bases in our EEZ, Chinese coast guard bullying our navy, rocket debris and balloons flying in our air space. How do you suggest we stop this? Kasi puro puna ka lang wala ka naman nilatag na suggestions on how to fix this. Mas mabilis kasing pumuna lang.
if it were Leni baka nagdiwang pa kau pa pyesta kau sa us embassy...
bakit na abolish ba ang edca?writer is a joke..sala sa init sala sa lamig... bata pinoy kulabg talaga sa IQ
Actually and contextually, that word 'independence', reckoning the anti-american sentiment of his muslim grandmother, means 'independence from.America', and enslavery or subservience under china!...
'Those presidential words now sound not only hollow but even insincere and deceiving' Exactly my concern - words spoken, not only about whether we're pro or anti edca. Turns out the president was saying one thing(china & davos trips)then doing another(austin visit), so confusing
A strong willed leader is needed. Wisdom is a must. Does Marcos have these?
Do you mean that crappy independent policy? During FPRRD, why he didn't revoke all our defense pacts with the USA? MDT, VFA, and EDCA! He even gives the USA the assurance that the PH will be on their side when SHTF with RUS and CN?
isn't it funny that the ones crying foreign intervention to the presence of US forces in the country are also the ones pushing for ICC intercession in our justice system....bunch of hypocries
