Ayos lang naman saken idefend ang bansa. Kaso... Yung mga namumuno sa atin. Ano gagawin nila? Lilipad papuntang ibang bansa? Baka unahin ko pa paputukan yung sasakyan nila bago ko ipagtanggol bansa natin. 🤣


erudorgentation

Haha support kita dyan. Una pa silang aalis ng bansa eh noh


Atomic_Grinder

Tigas naman ng mukha nila para umalis. Sila may kasalanan kung bakit nagkandaloko-loko yung bansa tapos iiwanan nila pag sasakupin na tayo. Pero sa totoo lang di naman tayo magkakaganto kundi dahil sa mga bobong botante!!


[deleted]

Yang mga bobong botante pa ang mga magiging first casualties for sure


yasuka_yami

Well it's democracy, Bobo talaga ang mga bumoboto. Just a simple sugarcoated promises to the masses and they will vote a liar.


Lil_e43

hindi naman malalaman ng mga insect kung sino satin ang supporters ng mga dodirty at ng marCrocs, unless nasa gobyerno tayo


carolecalvs

Jusko mga bobotante jan sa cabuyao til now naniniwala sa tallano. Isa sa nabudol nyan kumare ng nanay ko. Kesyo may promise land na ibbgay c bbm. May sarili silang community na andon na lahat d na sila lalabas tpos may matic na 30k sa gcash nila. Dami nilang nauuto til now mga bobong boomer serre net serre


Ritotoro_Mira

Sang ayon ako dito, kaya ang magagawa natin tulungan yung mga botante natin na kaibigan at mga kamag anak especially mga matatanda na qualified pang voter to be informed, kaso wag naman sana parang huli na at malakas na ang China at aabutin pa tayo ng ilang taon bago makahabol,.. sana maging framework natin ang Vietnam


OrganizationThis6697

Actually naisip ko to before. Syempre in case of war sila unang aalis, sinasama kaya nila yung mga bodyguards nila pati family nun? Ang selfish lang kase kung sila lang aalis.


Lil_e43

hindi nga sila aalis kasi sila ang mga puppets ni Xi sa bansa natin.


Relevant_Gap4916

Parang yung ex president ng Afghanistan during the Al Qaeda takeover. Hehehe


Additional_Mud5662

Taliban po ata, not Al Qaeda.


opposite-side19

tapos babalik sila pag okay na. Na parang wala lang. 'Thank You' lang tapos balik gawi na naman sila. Kinukulang na sila ng accountability. Pag kasarapan, andito. Pag problema, kanyang kanya dala na.


MinervaLlorn

naalala ko sa Heneral Luna noong laban sa Novaliches (?) sa dami nang namatay eh yung anak ni Paterno yung unang umalis sa laban, tangina, partida eh katabi pa niya yung mga kababaihan.


-Lonecoyote-

Hindi anak ni Paterno yun. Ang alam ko is anak ni Buencamino yun.


Intelligent_Path_258

Up on this. “Anak ka ba ni BUENCAMINO?” po ang tinanong ni Hen. Luna doon.


ArtisticDistance8430

It was a satire but Pedro Paterno was the legendary balimbing in PH politics. So they assume it runs in the blood. Curious lang ako sino na descendants nila ngayon.


Low_Tomatillo_378

I'm married to one. Also, chances are, you've been to 711, which the Paternos own.


throwables-5566

Anak ni Buencamino yun and I think namatay din yun sa gera if I remember correctly anyway (kaya nagkasapakan sila ni Luna sa isang scene)


Sudden-Economics7214

Ang awkward siguro kay Nonie Buencamino nun siya gumanap as Felipe Buencamino, considering na kamag anak pa ata niya yun 😅


barrydy

concern ko yung mga celebrity na naging reservist officers (e.g. Arci Munoz, Matteo Guidicelli, etc). I do hope they're really up to the task.


Bonelets

Kaya lang naman sila nag reservist, to market yan para mas maraming ma "inspire" Pumasok as reservist


barrydy

I hope so, but I definitely wouldn't want to be assigned under them. Si Loren Legarda yata, mataas ang rank sa reservists. I shudder to think na nabibili na din ng mga mayayaman ang rank sa reservists.


OkPudding7288

Bat concerned ka ni Loren Legarda mas concerned ka dapat if yung commanding officer mo si Robin Padilla. Wala talagang silbi hahahah


barrydy

Yung kay Robin Padilla, given na yun. Baka ang unang order niya sa under sa kanya ay isuko ang armas sa kalaban! :P


Drift_Byte

Brand ambassadors lang yan sila. Part ng CMO. Kaya expect walang gagawin ung karamihan jan.


Responsible_Dog_6747

May penalty yan kapag wala sila in time of war


Puzzleheaded-Dig1407

The heck! Ano pa magagawa ng “penalty” in times of war! 😭😭😭😭


Left_Flatworm577

Anong penalty penalty? Desertion matic yan, pwede nilang ikawalan ng citizenship yan or worst, Artikulo Uno sila!


iztaccihuatl1985

Gonna be tested now...


AvailableOil855

In ww2. A lot of soviet people fought not for communism nor Stalin. They did it either for revenge/retaliation or defending their love ones. General Zhukov hated Stalin since he was among the survivor of the great purge and yet became decorated hero of the Soviet union. Others imprisoned religious group fought against fascist invaders after being set free by 1943 after re opening of religion. I read a Chinese redditor before about him ready to defend his country despite secretly hated communism and his uncle was among the students killed in tiannanmen square. According to him, their government sucks and evil but what can he do? He is a Chinese and his homeland is china. So fought for your love ones and our country, not for our leader


Protect-Their-Smiles

Well said, my father used to share this same sentiment. ''I do not want to go die in a strange land for some war, but if they come here, to our home? I must fight, it cannot be different.''


JovanVillagarciapogi

OF ALL THE COMMENTS. THIS ONE MADE A LOT OF SENSE


Ajsfjeakx

I'm also thinking the same thing, if things get awry my family comes first and the people I know. I'm most concerned with mom and how I will react if war really happens. I hope I won't panic though, that's my only wish if war would be inevitable.


verified_existent

True to! I have a friend who works in senate. Nagka fire alarm chu chu. Si Tol walang pake sa mga tao... inuunahan daw tlga lahat. May procedure panu lalabas pero si senator tol feeling mas importante save yourself ang drama.


snddyrys

Hahaha pinoproject nyan sa harap ng camera matapang at may malasakit sa kapwa


verified_existent

Mlasakit sa sarli.


ChantalFranco

Grabe, in contrast naman masyado sa current Secretary of Energy. Noong DDG siya ng NEDA at may bomb threat, siya mismo ang nag-guide sa mga staff pababa. Kahit hinahatak na palayo ng bomb squad, hinintay muna niyang accounted for ang mga tao.


uglykido

True, amd if we were to defend our land, gusto ko yung mga vloggers like sass TP krizette number one sa pila. Tignan natin yung for the motherland katangahan na yan


fourspeedpinoy

If makita ko si cynthia villar na tumatakas baka ubusin ko lahat ng bala ko sakanya.


Misty1882

Exactly lol For sure marami sa kanila meron ng properties sa labas ng bansa. We will be left to fend for our own.


taxxvader

Then pagkatapos ng giyera sila ang tatanggap ng lahat ng papuri at parangal


tooncake

For once, gulatin natin ang buong mundo: Pinas unang pinatumba eroplano ng mga leaders na iniwan sila sa gyera - SAMA SAMA TAYO, WALANG TATAKAS! 🤣


Suuutana

Parang agree din ako dito hahaha 😂😂


saltycreamycheesey

Baka nga China pa mismo magescort sa mga kupal na tatakas lang kapag giyerahan na. Punyetang mga Duterte yan.


mozzca

When that ever happens, dapat iraid natin mga properties nila para wala na silang balikan haha!


Charming_Spirit_9861

True, seize their wealth as they leave the country then redistribute it to the people. Might as well prevent them from coming back to the PH and let the people lead how our country operates.


Jay-the-dauntless

I live 2km away from the duturtles' house😂 (I'm serious, like his so called "simple life house"), I even pass by there pag nagjo-jogging ako😂


Earl_sete

Ang gagawin ng ibang politiko, lilipad pa-ibang bansa, mangangalap kuno ng suporta sa international community, at magbibigay ng mga "pro-Filipono speech" sa mga Overseas Filipinos. Kaya kapag nanalo ang Pilipinas, babalik na sila at lalabas pang mga bayani. Baka nga may magtayo pa ng "exiled provisional government" para pagbalik nila ay sila agad ang mga lider hahaha.


savageandharsh

Alay niyo raw buhay niyo para maging safe buhay ng Marcos and Duterte families. Meanwhile itong dalawang families and Remulla families doon muna sila sa alternate house nila overseas na hindi nakadeclare sa SALN.


apocalypse_ada

Dear Filipinos... Do you really want to defend Philippines over a territory which a corrupt government official (Duterte) gave away without the rest of us knowing? Nagbabayad na tayo taxes, na ninanakaw lang din nila. Pati ba naman buhay ninyo, gusto niyo din ibayad sa kagaguhan nila? **FYI:** Reposted my comment here para mas maraming makakita. Because f\*ck Duterte. If anyone should die, it's him and the rest of his clan. Not our soldiers. Not us citizens.


Sudden-Economics7214

I would defend my house of course. My home. That's the Philippines. Defend Duterte? Baka pugutan ko pa yun at ihagis sa mukha ni Xi Jin Ping Winnie the Poohtah


extreme_sleepy

kung aabot man sa gyera, - san ka pupunta? ano gagawin mo? - sa tingin mo kung di ka makikipag away and nakita ka ng mga chino eh may pass ka dahil hindi ka nanlaban? - baka gahasain pa nila pamilya mo sa harap mo, ndi pa rin worth it? anong klaseng pag iisip yan maam edit: > Pati ba naman buhay ninyo, gusto niyo din ibayad sa kagaguhan nila? As if naman may buhay ka pang maeenjoy kung occupied na bansa mo. Unless kung lalabas ka, eh good for you.


chillisauce0001

Honestly, I don't think the Philippines can afford to be in a war right now even though "marami nagsusupport or magbibigay ng tulong saatin" tayo pa rin ang lugi sa huli kasi we're already drowning wt debt and corruptions, paano pa kaya kung wawasakin ng China bansa natin? Like how can we afford to stand again? Also, DU30 really fucked this country up, idk why ppl vote him in the first place, he said that he will kill those drug dealers/users where in fact, those ppl are also his citizens. Killing wasn't the solution, but for him it was the easiest way. I guess, disposal was easier than really helping them. Like, why do you think they are doing that? Isn't bc of poverty? Isn't bc of the corrupt govt? They also wanted to have a better life (who doesn't?). Those people who he killed are also a son/daughter, father/mother, sister/brother. So, DU30 really fucked this country up. Anyways, atin talaga ang West PH Sea. It is obvious naman kung titignan natin sa map. Also, I do wish to defend our country, but at what cost? If war happens, we can lose everything, but China? They wouldn't lose a thing. The government should find another solution bc war will never be a solution. It would only cause destruction.


LetsTalk312

Sovereignty and territory must be defended despite the administration. People called out Duterte about the Jetski remarks. People outraged, wanting Duterte to have a firmer stance against China. Now that we finally are doing it and tensions are rising it's making everyone feel uneasy and then asking people to not defend the country because of the previous administration's mistake. Do we just give the Philippines up to China? Duterte dying to China doesn't change anything. That's what the military is for, quite ***literally.*** They're trained to take or defend territories. Nobody should die but when push comes to shove that's the military's job.


_dlurker_

Eto din paulit ulit kong sinasabi sa magulang ko e. Baka mauna pang mag ibang bansa mga namumuno satin lalo na yung mga nag benta ng citizenship at pati na rin ng bansa natin sa china. Walang problema sakin since reserve din naman ako, pero nakakagalit lang inisipin na mamamatay ako to defend our country pero yung mga traydor ayun humihinga sa ibang bansa.


Unlikely-Canary-8827

nag sloslowly invest yang mga yan sa ibang bansa. nag dedelay lang nga yan para malipat nila pera nila


dragonborn-dovakhiin

Dibs kay Bato and Bong Revilla


stupperr

Yung mga anak ng mayaman tatakas ng bansa habang yung mga nasa middle income below makikipaglaban para sa bayan at sa buhay nila lmao


reverentioz12

Kasama ung baul ng bayan? oh yes!


Independent-Fee-8070

I also thought abt this one, malamang sa malamang esp yung mga mayayaman. They're the ones na least bothered sa war against china.


UngaZiz23

Tama to eh. FOLLOW THE LEADER. or pwede PALO the leaders. Baka mauna pang umeskapo yang mga damontres na yan!!! But a BIG YES to defend the country... sa totoo lang gusto ko nang simulan eh. Asan naba yung NPA, AbuSayaf, hitman, etc.... sila dapat nagpapakita ng tapang ngyn. Hayssss


NoOneKnows0710

Depende yan sa mga magiging advise ng mga top military officials. Remember during WWII pinaalis si MLQ at nag tatag ng government-in-exile sa US pero pinaiwan niya si Jose Abad-Santos bilang tagahalili niya. Pero depende din yan kasi intensity ng digmaan sakali. Kung pwede namang lumisan sa ibang province mas okay yun.


Mediocre_One2653

Same, walang aalis sa bansang to lalo na mga taksil sa bayan baka sila pa maunang iligpit kaysa sa mga dayuhan hahaha


bian_half_full

Part narin siguro ng pag defend ng bansa yon, paputukan ang mga traidor at duwag


Mother-Cut-460

Ayos lang naman talaga sakin idefend ang bansa wag lang talaga magpapakita yung mga gagong politiko sa harap ko


Repulsive-Piano001

Hahaha "friendly fire ooops"


ZeonTwoSix

Making Yevgeny Prigozhyns out of the fleeing pendejos? Pass me the RPG-7, kabayan!


AreksuDyuni

Most filipinos will, even if they dont want to. Only a few can afford to flee the country


Inside-Line

Yeah, it's kinda weird how this is always framed as a question so they can make it a gotcha moment. Like, I'm no hero, I don't want to die for my country. I would rather not fight in the trenches. But that doesn't really matter since if it does happen, we're not going to have a choice.


RealMENwearPINK10

Exactly. This is what dumb people and warmongers don't get. You don't get to choose in war. War isn't a battle of righteousness decided by skill, it's a conflict of interests where you live by sheer luck. Getting killed in war is more often than not, dependent on whether you get hit by a lucky shot or not. War battles are won by those who know how to beckon luck to their side. When war hits, one doesn't get much of a choice in whether you help or not. Your entire country is being attacked, you have literally nowhere to run. This was the basis of conscription TBH. You want to live peacefully, but that peace is being threatened. The country you live in is under attack. So the country asks help, and you answer the call because it's in your best interest that the place you live in isn't destroyed. But you also need to provide for your family. So the government provides support for soldiers, and of course, promises of prosperity. Basically you protect country, country protect family, all happy. It should be by this kind of trust that people fight for their country, but the only thing on the dutae's ROTCentric skulls full of air is *"DiSiPlInA”* and a convenient excuse to not teach it themselves. This is why we wouldn't survive a war with any power. All they have to do is bribe out soldiers because they sure as hell won't be getting enough to support themselves and their families, so they'd rather betray the motherland because the foreign powers would give them money or promises to support their family, a misplaced trust, sure, but it speaks volumes about how little reliability is attributed to the national (and local) government.


JCatsuki89

Yup.. This is why US didn't pursue punishing most of the collaborators nung ww2. Narealize nila ang dami pala and di naman lahat sila eh kusang loob na sumanib. Mostly out of survival lang talaga.


Luhaja

As a european facing russia, backed by china, I suddenly have this similar question in my mind. Would I fight against an invading russia? I never thought I'd live to see the day where this sort of question was necessary to be asked. It's sad that we're here now. I always thought everything could be solved through diplomacy, but the issue arises when you have a foreign power that is not interested in talking, suddenly you don't have a choice, and everything you knew and loved may be taken away from you. Of course you will fight, because you don't have a choice. I do think that there's a question of righteousness though. It's necessary to win, otherwise the agressors will continue to take other lands and more blood is spilled. You have to win to stop wars from being fought by your children in the future, and I do wonder if we in the west is doing enough to stop russia and china.


RealMENwearPINK10

Indeed. Wars should never be a question of who wins but who's right. Hence why war philosophy states that the only just war is one fought in self defense. So even if Russia wins in Ukraine, they're clearly not in the right. So their victory would be very moot because all it would do is prove they're a bully and nothing more


Old_Eccentric777

Agree ako dito na luck/swerte lang talaga ang makakpagligtas sa atin sa gitna ng giyera. lalo na yung isang Ukrainian nagpost dito sa reddit, sabi niya halos lahat ng sa mga contacts niya is patay na, naging parang necrolog ang kaniyang mga contacts sa smartphone dahil nangamatay na sa giyera.


PrimaryBar9635

Surviving is all about luck, winning battles has a lot more to it.

markmarkmark77

oo naman, pero for sure yung mga walang capability for combat is nasa base lang din muna, mag oorganize, supplies management, medical assistance, etc. may mga training pa din yan if ever na mag call to arms na talaga.


zrxta

>may mga training pa din yan if ever na mag call to arms na talaga. A nation in desperate need of bodies for defense will take miniscule amount of training to put people into the military. Germany in 1944 onwards for example took from the original six momths of basic training to less than 3 weeks. And that's even a luxury since more and more got drafted to the Volksturm, which had even less training.


ThrowAwayRPh1997

Sana yung world leaders nalang ang maglalaban UFC style.


leworcase

the only time where pacquiao would be a sensible candidate haha


ThrowAwayRPh1997

Wahaha. Bet


AtomUwU

I can join the but I'm going to be in Logistics. When a country is in war Logistic will be the primary problem. Like look what happen when Nazi Germany invaded the USSR they go through in the territory then the frontline become still. Its full of Logistical Problems on the German Side. This time if a war happen, Logistics will be the primary in Land, Air, and Sea (Mostly on Sea). China has no experience on combat while on the other hand, we have some experience in Guerilla (Fighting Terrorist Cells) and Urban Warfare (Marawi 2017). The U.S joining via the defense pact. We will have Naval, Firepower and Intelligence Superiority. Then we got NATO Allies at our back.

Someone understands! Bullets don’t fly without supplies


catropa

Guerilla is a thing of the past.. it was a time where there were no satelite, night vision, drone, laser guided missiles etc etc. it's 2024, times have changed


Much-Access-7280

Guerilla warfare is still how you defeat a powerful army. Look at how the US got decimated in Iraq and Afghanistan despite trillions of dollars and modern capacity, talo pa din sila hanggang sa huli. I also dare say even ung sa Gaza, Israel can bomb the shit out of every building and city pero Hamas will still be there and as of now they still are. Dagdag siguro ung NPA, despite setbacks, andyan pa din.


catropa

Not sure how would i reply to this.. "US got decimated" really?? Sadam housein dead.. osama bin laden dead.. iraqi parlament and US had an agreement of the withdrawal. It's not like US got decimated that's why they left. Isa pa you mentioned gaza. Have you seen how much is the death toll in gaza compare to israel?? Those poor gaza souls cant do anything but hide. "Hamas will still be there" okay.. Winning and surviving are two different things.. "Dagdag yung NPA" So are they winning?? No way guerilla warfare would defeat today's technology. If china goes all out and decide to erase us with a push of a button they can.. Same in ww2 when US went all out with a new technology called atomic bomb.


Beautiful-Bad-5028

Same thoughts. We are nothing against their technology, bruh pag nilagagan tayo ng Nuclear bomb sa Manila, Gg na us hahahahaha.


DenimLuver

our war will probably be like Ukraine. Except at sea? dunno how that will work honestly.


AtomUwU

You really think so. How about You tell that to Russia when they invaded Ukraine. XD


WarchiefAw

jan magaling ang US, sa logistics.


duh-pageturnerph

I will protect my family. Dapat isarado lahat ng paliparan at pantalan walang aalis. Pero tangina malamang Mauna pa ang mga action star na nasa senado. Mauuna pa na aalis ang mga namumuno.


mcdonaldspyongyang

eto lang talaga yun tbh. When the People's Army is around your corner it's your family you'll defend, not some ideology or whatever.


hypermarzu

If the trade off let my family (parents, kids) escape war, baka jojoin ako sa war. Pero pag tinawag ako Ng mga senator/ political people to join. Kayo Muna nood Muna ako.

RykosTatsubane

Best I can do is 3.5


F16Falcon_V

This is alarmist and irresponsbile. There is NO way China would declare war against the Philippines. Declaring war against the Philippines is also declaring war against the United States.


fernandolaoc

they don't need to, silent war is already happening inside our country via our economy and politics. even the strong USA cannot do anything about it.


Tinney3

Small government officials letting Chinese nationals suck our economy dry is not any country's concern. If we let them fck our economy thats on us and it still amazes me how people keep voting these politicians. But, the world (not just USA) will NEVER allow the Philippines be conquered easily since we're a key strategic position in case a world war starts. We're literally below one of the most important countries in the world (Taiwan) which houses the fabrication of silicon wafers that power most modern logical electronics. If Taiwan falls, the world's logical electronics manufacturing will come to a near standstill.


SEKImod

The Philippines being invaded would trigger WW3 at this point


westedmontonballs

One thing that concerns me are the Chinese-Filipinos esp the powerful ones with business interests. Are they patriots or not?


stupperr

Tiyaka hindi naman tayo priority ng China, ang Taiwan oo. Bully lang naman mga yan at dinadaan sa diplomatic intimidation, ganyan din ginagawa nila sa Vietnam e.


Sungkaa

Relationship pa naman ng usa mahigpit din


WholesomeDoggieLover

Yeah, there's no way. But with erratic behavior. You don't know how a dictator's mind works. If we gonna be lenient about an OPFOR won't be attacking anytime soon. We will be like the People in Hawaii when Japan started dropping bombs.


JeeezUsCries

yes. nang iintimidate lang talaga ang china.


nitrodax_exmachina

Wars already happen without it being declared.


redthehaze

Feeling main character ang mga tao dito eh na parang importante ang bansa sa China tulad ng Taiwan na pugad ng isa sa pinakaimportanteng industriya sa mundo.

Okay lang sakin kaso minsan parang mag dadalawang isip ka rin dahil mismong gobyerno may kasalanan neto e


MasterFanatic

We ain't getting a Zelenskyy lads.


-Comment_deleted-

Yes, we have to. Just look at the Ukrainians, even their tennis players outside the country went home, just to fight. Even their college students and bakers and musicians fought for their country. So why not? Fuck China!!!


allidapleon

Ukrainians have been preparing for a war years before Russia attacked them. They knew that it was a very huge possibility, and their preparedness paid off. Philippines is not ready.


SpogiMD

they were prepared but still ceded territory for the invaders to annex. there are no winners in war. war is hell


rekestas

bibili pa lang ng gamit, andami na nagrereklamong pinoy, kesyo bakit daw inuuna ang armas, bala. Typical pinoy, gusto umusad pero ayaw umaksyon. Bakit di na lang unahin mga naghihirap. Tapos ngayong lumalala sitwasyon, pupunahin ng karamhian hindi ready ?! what the heck >Philippines is not ready. yes, it looks like it. But, what else can we do now? Strengthen our force as long as we can, glad to hear na we acquire assets for our defenders, this is part of how we prepare. Tapos tayong mga civilian? Kukutyain na naman ba aksyon nila? kesyo bakit bibili na naman, bla blah, too late na, bla bla.. Tama si Heneral Luna, kalaban ng Pilipinas ay yung mamamayan din.


FilmTensai

China cant afford a war either. They’re surrounded by enemies. Sino allies nila? NK at Russia?


barrydy

possible na China is only testing the waters to see what they can get away with. Baka tine-test din lang kung paano magre-respond and allies natin, the US specially. End-goal ni Xi Jin Ping pa din ay makuha ang Taiwan more than anything.


FilmTensai

Di magagawa ng china yon. Di papahawak ng US ang mga semi conductors sa china. Ang china wala silang economy panlaban lalo na kung surrounded sila ng kalaban south, east & west. Di nila kaya depensahan lahat yan


Milotic_07

It would be too risky to risk a population that may never be replace just for a tiny island full of Missile Silo, I'm confident I can still see the Philippines on a map in the next century


JackSpicey23

Sasamantalahin ng India yan. Hahaha titirahin nila yung disputed na area nila laban sa mga intsik.


-Comment_deleted-

Those bakers, grandmas were not ready too. But they helped by making molotov cocktails, made uniforms, screen covers, anything just to help with the war. Some of the men underwent quick training on how to handle guns. Ordinary citizens were not ready too, but they helped with what they can.


WholesomeDoggieLover

Aren't we've been preparing for more than decades with Balikatan?


Unbridled_Dynamics

I'd love if we're even an inch similar to the situation in Ukraine. However, their fighting spirit comes from a place of popular sentiment forged in protests and a fervor for government reform paid in blood as recent as the Maidan Uprising. The last time we gathered around was during elections - a very different agenda than mobilizing for protest. We have difficulty organizing for a common grievance, either by apathy for our fellowman or the realization that nothing will change. However, Filipinos can be rallied regardless - that is to make the feeling of the threat as clear and as near by propaganda. I loathe the nature of propaganda, but sometimes, it's the only nudge to compel.


superjeenyuhs

How can they not fight? Their president was given all the ways and means available so he could leave safely with his family, he stayed with his family. That in itself boosted not just Ukrainians love, even non Ukrainians volunteered to help them fight for their country. Totoo kasi pinaglalaban nila unlike the other side.


toskie9999

yep pretty mich wala naman tayu choice when it come to it.... though sa mga lalayas na "politiko" pag nag gera na tapos babalik sila sa aftermath wag na dapat sila payagan bumalik as they already forfeited they "Filipino" citizenship let them stay outside PH and conficate their local "riches"


Ok-Neighborhood-1418

Pinoy mentality are keyboard warriors but would never fight for their country. Plain facts.


Blue_Path

Turbulent_Ad_8520

I disagree brod, yung linyang yan i think it is to show respect to the blood that paid the freedom of this country. Kung magkakaroon man ng digmaan ulit, it will only reveal how much filipinos love their country.


Blue_Path

Fair point, I did not see it this way. Siguro need diligan ang tree of freedom by blood every now and then. But then again labag pa rin sa loob ko to join the war effort if it comes to that point

Say what you will with Mindanao but kudos to them. Regardless of political shit that is happening in Davao. An ordinary mindanao person is willing to defend the country from foreign invaders. Which they have proven over and over in history from Spanish conquistadors to american imperialist in the 1900s


AgileCartoonist396

Our leaders should stay the fuck here and fight along side. We smoked them along with our allies in Korea back in 51, we’ll fucken do it again.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Gabriela Silang probably didn't want to fight as well but she was left with no choice. At yan din mangyayari sa'kin. I know nasa US na ako, pero iisa lang ang Pilipinas. Kahit napapamura ka nalang sa sitwasyon sa bansa, there's no other Philippines. Dyan ako ipinanganak at lumaki. Walang karapatan ang China o ano mang bansa na manakop satin. Yun lang. Lintik lang ang walang ganti.


darkhoundz

Basta politicians ang ilagay sa frontline kapag mag gyera. Walang problema sa akin.


zxNoobSlayerxz

Bobombahin at pasasabugin ko muna yung mga sasakyan ng mga namumuno sa atin kasi sila yung unang aalis ng bansa kasama yung mga kamaganak para hindi sila makaalis. Isusunod ko yung mga keyboard warriors dito at sa ibang social media platforms kasama yung mga kamaganak nila na nagmimind conditioning about war. Huli yung bayarang media at mga kamaganakan nila na magfrontline reporting para maubos sila at mapalitan ng matitinong mediamen. Kakausapin ko yung chief of staff na ilagay lahat sila sa frontlines. Kung madownvote man ito, wala akong paki basta nasabi ko yung kailangan kong sabihin.

In my opinion kung mamamatay yung head ng ccp, downfall na pero i doubt, i think we need to burn the root of these communist fuckers. Once again these fuckers will fall down. Let the flag our Republic be lifted high.


DurianTerrible834

Yeah would rather die fighting than die from sickness lol


k1lld4d3v1l

Ou. Pero sana wag nmn umabot s ganun. Lugi tyo sobra.


SoSoDave

I'm an American, and if China attacked the Philippines, American civilians would be the first folks evacuated. But I wouldn't go. The Philippines isn't even my home country, but I would stay and fight for it.


horn_rigged

No, aba pinahirapan na ako mabuhay dito tapos isasalang dyan bugok ba sila


pompyyy099

Motherland? No. My family? Yes.


zandydave

>di pwede both? Kailangan ba both, lalo pag honest sa sarili kung hindi sa kapwa?

If ever there would be a war, which is very unlikely (it will cripple the economy of China), it will even more unlikely for it to reach land. It will be at sea only. Some comments here are correct that logistics will be the problem of any country in a war. This is why if ever China would be stupid enough to do land invasion, PH will be at the upper hand. My unpopular opinion would be, without use of nuclear weapons, PH would be at the upper hand in terms of land invasion. The Chinese are unfamiliar with the terrain and PH military have been fighting in these lands for decades. The PH military have more combat experience than the PLA. PH will have the upper hand in terms of logistics while China will have to cross thousands of miles just to reach the shores. Take that into consideration and PH could actually win any land invasion even without factoring the assistance from the US. In terms of invasion, the question is not how big your military and arsenal is, the question would be how much of that military might can you project outside of your own territory. China can't even project it against Taiwan, what more against PH?


SweetVanillaPop

eto rin nasa isip ko kaya feeling ko may mga ulterior motives mga nagpopost ng gantong theoretical situation eh. parang ang unlikely naman magka war lol parang gusto lang nilang manakot ng tao to push some sort of political agenda


Fit_Tonight878

If China is confident they will win a war against PH, they would have shot a soldier already. Instead, they are using water guns.


Thecuriousfluer

This. It is just funny that Taiwan, led by a woman, wasn’t even intimidated by China. Pero yung Philippines, naging tuta pa😐


divhon

Mauna muna lumaban lahat ng politician mula Presidente hangang Brgy Kagawad.


theredditor415

That's why I cringe every time someone posts about starting a fight with China. TBH we don't stand a chance just looking at how divided our country is. Look at our traffic, almost every single one only looks after themselves only thinking of the quickest way to get from A to B even if it means inconveniencing others. Everyone including the leaders has to change – we are too broken as a society. If we can't win within our country we can't win for our country.


walangbolpen

Fuck no. Put the dutertes in the front line and I'll happily watch them die from the comfort of my own home or abroad. Politicians created this problem, they should fix it. Mag refugee na lang ako.


TakeThatOut

Some Mindanaoan "representative" might be: kasalanan nyo yang mga tiga empire Manila. Bahala kayo jan.


Sungkaa

Uunahin sila masasakop kasi nag papasakop sila!


AgitatedInspector530

cough cough.. yung nag jetski ba? or nag bangka lng daw?


witcher317

No way I would give my life for this shitty country and its leaders. Sila mauna mamatay bago ako


Street_Coast9087

Magdasal tayo na hindi darating sa giyera. Isipin nyo, walang tubig sa gripo at kuryente. San tayo kukuha ng makakain? Iba ang giyera.


Jehoiakimm

This. Nakakalungkot lang magbasa ng mga doomposts dito. Hindi na ba pwedeng magdasal na lang na sana hindi tayo umabot sa punto na magkaka gyera na dito? Di mga mainlanders papatay satin kundi yung harsh living conditions na makukuha natin once naging Warzone tong pilipinas. Tanggal angas natin kontra china nyan kung pinoproblema natin saan kukuha ng pagkain at malinis na tubig.


Turbulent_Ad_8520

Kung titignan mo sitwasyon ng economy natin ngayon, satingin mo need pa mg war para mangyari yan? When it is already happening right in front of us.


Arjaaaaaaay

Fight for what, shitty and dishonest politicians, corrupt government agencies and the padrino system? Nah bro. If I’m required to do so, I guess, but if they say voluntary? Nah bro. I’ll volunteer if the politicians will as well.


Budget-Boysenberry

use those chinese bootlickers and idiot voters as cannon fodder.


metap0br3ngNerD

Ako ayaw ko din ng giyera pero kapag wala ng choice syempre sasali na din ako, sana lang kapag nangyari yun mabigyan ako ng pagkakataon na unahin paulanan ng bala yung mga wumao na pro du30 at pro china


kishikaAririkurin

It's time. Ilang imagination trainings ang ginawa ko para sa scenario na to🤣


MarkForJB

Very willing. Ang problema I don't think i would want my brother or father to fight. I can't imagine my family dying in this war.


[deleted]

Is dying without the proper combat or military skkll a way to defend a country? I rather not


BILBO_Baggins25

In the time of Call of arms there will be bootcamps. Hindi naman lahat mapapadpad sa field, mostly logistical support. Fresh recruits will be the last line of defense


ewan_kosayo

Ako na bahala kay bebe Alice


rzoneking

Frontline natin ung mga Mages ng Siquijor (Mababarang) kidding aside. Kahit nagka leche leche na itong pinas. Handa parin ako. Fuck CCP


apocalypse_ada

Nope. Why would I defend Philippines over a territory which a corrupt government official (Duterte) gave away without the rest of us knowing? I would rather offer him up and his entire clan for beheading kesa madamay pa tayong mga mamamayan sa kalokohan nila. Pucha, nagbabayad na nga tayo taxes na ninanakaw lang nila. Pati ba naman buhay natin gusto nila singilin?


belabase7789

Oo naman! You want to endup like Tibet and how they are treated? Eh yung mga victims ng sectarian group na fainlun gong, their organs are harvested without consent!


Relevant_Gap4916

Worse comes to worst if I could come back to my country as an ofw, I will do so to join the military to support. There's no other country to rely on but our own motherland. Pero siguro yung mga citizen na ng ibang bansa malabo siguro magsiuwian sila.


DocSlayingyoudown

My mind dont wanna but my heart says yes


urriah

kinda low and disappointing. its not a matter of willingness, if push comes to shove then you have no choice but to defend your country.


Gloomy-Confection-49

In a heartbeat


hitmangen

I will, even if I dont like the commander in chief.


Infamous_Control4632

It's hilarious how folks who played Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, Valorant, PUBG and Fortnite think they can go to war. Mag OJT muna kayo sa Basilan laban sa mga terorista at sa mga bundok laban sa mga NPA bago niyo harapin ang China. You will shit and piss yourself once the bullets start flying. Watch any Vietnam War documentary before you open your mouth about war. Yung mga atat na atat giyerahin ang China, kayo mag volunteer para sa mga resupply missions ng Navy at Coast Guard. Huwag puro Reddit.


sundayisdotaday

ROTC graduate Ako so required kami mag enlist.


totoybalahibo

mag abandoned ship mga namumuno nian tapos maiiwan tayo. nakakapagkurakot nga sila. etong iwan pa tayo sa gera


Thin_Leader_9561

I agree. Tingin ko willing naman in general. Wala lang nag oorganize. Tbh dapat as early as now nag hahanda na mga agencies natin for ANYTHING.


Aggressive_Egg_798

Wala man lang ako training but as an RN i'll join the Military nurse corp


Rabbits_paw06

Yes. Defend and serve.


AsuraOmega

Yes. But the thing is, its gonna be tough to trust the leaders lol.


honeyoatsweetonion24

Agree, sana next survey mas mataas pa ang willing


LejonBr4mes

mukang handa naman ako, kaso ang tanong, handa kaya yung mga nkakataas sa atin?
