i remember an old hollywood movie.
us covert operations in the country,
"...i hate to do this without getting the filipinos in on it... they're about the only ally we have over there.."

Bato's visa cancellation as the reason for this is grossly disproportionate. The privilege of one entering US soil vs potentially saving scores of Pinoys from disasters etc.

Did I read it right 52% of AMERICAN military aid on SEA goes to us? One- sided indeed.

Apparently Duterte isn't doing this for the Filipino people but for his long time buddy and not to mention trying to score more points with his Lord and Master.

Yolanda time... bakit sino ba president nun. dilawan pa yun. that doesnt count daw.
More on Marawi seige era ni du30, if not US help malamang mas malaki pa damage at buhay pa ang maute brothers.

While the VFA is indeed a lopsided agreement, particularly on the matters of criminal jurisdiction and custody, scrapping it is completely unnecessary. Duterte should have considered the advice of the Senate to push for the amendment of the treaty rather than hastily abrogating it over some stupid reason.

PH can not simply disregard the substantial aid that US provides. The reduced presence of US forces will have a significant effect on PH's ability to maintain its claims in WPS. It is true that US will not go into a hot war with China over some islands, but what it can do as a security partner is back up PH's territorial claims by patrolling in the disputed region and ignoring China's territorial demands.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Kags, akala ko ba si trump mismo nag try mag save kay duts? Imagine nanaman si duts.

“I really don’t mind, if they would like to do that, that’s fine,” Trump said Wednesday during a meeting with Ecuador President Lenin Moreno at the White House. “We’ll save a lot of money. You know my views are different from other people. I view it as, ‘Thank you very much, we’ll save a lot of money.’”

Ang tindi ng amats ni "tatay" into thinking that the world's most powerful (and often loonie) man would beg for reconsideration.

**KingoftheNorth** · February 13th, 2020 10:37 AM

Ganyan talaga style ni Du30. Use personal grudges as a reason to terminate bilateral military agreements without regard for national security. Yun lang, the other country violating our territorial sovereignty carries a big stick while Du30 only has a big mouth.

I guess he wants Filipinos to patrol the country's territorial seas using outrigger boats...

DU30 and PH end up the laughing stock of the world. Trump was already demanding the EU, Japan and SK to pay for US forces upkeep.

Remember ISIS nearly overan Iraq because the Iraqi government kicked out the US forces.

Just pray that ISIS, Abu Sayaf and what not take it as a green light to do a Maute type take over.

in a shooting war, the guy with his feet on the ground, has the advantage over the guy standing on iron or aluminum.
my opinion.

**EQAddict** · February 13th, 2020 01:45 PM

Mobility, superior firepower , intelligence and battle situation awareness, quality and quantity of battle assets win wars.

And yeah , it was the US Navy that was the decisive factor in the War of the Pacific. Japs were helpless even dug in on okinawa, iwo jima, guadalcanal, solomon islands, etc.

Palace dismisses Trump's nonchalance on VFA termination | Philstar.com

Malacañang appears to doubt the sincerity of US President Donald Trump over his remarks on the Philippines' move to terminate the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) between the two countries.

Eh bakit yung america defense chief eh " a move in wrong direction"

Dapat kung siga eh siga.

Kasi malaki pakinabang ni mang kano against china pag nandito sa pinas.

Pero sabi nga amin ni intelligencia of the philippines = "hindi ako makaduterte pero sa wakas may presidente hindi nganga sa kano"
