the Spanish controlled Zamboanga & the eastern part of Mindanao.

baka tatakbo nang higher position si sen. kaya nag papabango sa mga muslim brothers natin...

Senator Gordon could do better than that. I have a lot of respect for that senator, given he's one of the few alternatives in the senate. If he wants to run, he'd better think of something better to impress everyone.

May it be untimely or not, sana hindi ito makadagdag sa problema ng bansa natin ngayon.

Agree with r_m..... Gawin na lang bilog at wala nang rays....

let our flag be, mr. gordon. . .paano ang ilocos? lumaban din naman sila under diego silang way before the philippine revolution. . .and, the philippine revolution included forces from other provinces which are not represented by a ray in the flag such as tarlac, pangasinan and bicol, to name a few. . .

ano ba talaga motibo mo, ha? guguluhin mo lang lalo

Kaya daw inimbento ng mga kano ang 45 cal dahil sa mga muslim, di daw kaya ng standard na bala noon na 38 ata.

OT na...pero matibay ang musilm sa bakbakan kaya di kinaya ng spain.

I'd rather remove the rays altogether. After all, Japan's not having any trouble with a banner with a red circle in the middle.

agree ako dito.

muslims are not part of an ethnic group. anybody who practices Islam are called muslims. so it Igorots, Itnegs etc cannot be compared to Muslims in terms of ethnicity. however, how about those who are non-muslims and non-christians who fought for the philippines? maybe we can just remove the sun.

baka duleng lang yung mga Kano nuon, sir O. aba e kahit .22cal lang ang gamitin kung sa gitna ng mata ang tama ay siguradong tumba ang kalaban. at saka pellets lang ang bala ng mga Espanol nung araw.

100% agree ako dyan!

To Senator Gordon:

Hanga pa naman ako sa iyo. You can do better than this.

At saka maraming magagalit sa iyong mga tao na nagpa-TATTOO ng 3 stars and a sun na gaya nung kay Francis M!

The Colt Model 1911 was the product of a very capable person, namely John Moses Browning, father of several modern firearms.

The pistol was designed to comply with the requirements of the U.S. Army, which, during its campaign against the Moros in Philippines, had seen its trusty .38 revolver to be incapable of stopping attackers. An Ordnance Board headed by Col. John T. Thompson (inventor of the Thompson sub-machine-gun) and Col. Louis A. La Garde, had reached the conclusion that the army needed a .45" caliber cartridge, to provide adequate stopping power. In the mean time, J. Browning who was working for Colt, had already designed an autoloader pistol, around a cartridge similar to contemporary .38 Super (dimension-wise). When the Army announced its interest in a new handgun, Browning re-engineered this handgun to accommodate a .45" diameter cartridge of his own design (with a 230 gr. FMJ bullet), and submitted the pistol to the Army for evaluation.
