OUR NEED FOR A STRONGER PHILIPPINES

BIGGER ARMED FORCES FOR THE COUNTRY.

With the recent onslaught of the Chinese assertion of the  West Philippine sea, the situation is melting into a brutal confrontation sooner or later.

The problem is getting  bigger in every step of the way as we desire to have a secured area in the adjacent waters of the archipelago.

The threat is real, as our armed forces will be put to test with these skirmishes as we need to protect our marine resources and sovereignty as much as we could.

The national government should focus and allocate more budgets for the upgrading and modernization of our military defenses as soon as possible.

We must bring in more ships in the area to be visible and assertive also of our rights. The more we abandon the islets and shoals, the more our rights are seemingly diminished. 

Without our visibility and force, the more the Chinese  are tolerated.
