It only takes one shot for war erupt between Philippines and China, now with the tension about the territorial dispute has ones again escalated. This time a military stand off.
BRP Gregorio Del Pilar pround and ready for action
DFA stated last Tuesday that Philippines surveillance aircraft spotted 8 Chinese fishing vessels off the coast of Zambales, Panatag Shoal within 124 nautical miles within the Exclusive Economic Zone. Ready to defend Philippine sovereignty, BRP Gregorio Del Pilar was dispatched, to confirm the sighting. Upon arrival
there was 2 Chinese war ships,.. Zhonggou Haijian 75 and Zhonggou Haijian 84,preventing the arrest of the Chinese fishermen. Well within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines, making a standoff between the Philippines and Chinese war machines. Rules of engagement states Not to fire unless fired upon, NOW IT TAKES ONE SHOT, ONE SOLDIER, to fire his gun and Philippines and China will go to war. Then what!? Let's just hope China and Philippines honor that rule.
The Chinese dispatched their 2 ships upon reports that the Philippine navy were "allegedly" harassing Chinese fishing vessels.
Ok, wait...back up, The Philippines were harassing Chinese vessels within Philippine Exclusive Economic zone, in layman's term. Within Philippine territory. Now does that sound right?
With this situation at hand, we all know that the Philippines has no chance against an emerging super power China. A lot of question comes into play. One of which is, how will USA respond to this? Will they help us,..since they do have ships in Palawan, Philippines doing exercise ready for combat, and in the last few months the USA has been flexing it's Naval power and political influence, with the so called "Joint military exercise" that is going on in Palawan.
Tssk...please joint Military exercise eh.. Why is it in Palawan close to the disputed Spratly Islands.
Another question is where are the "raliyesta" that hates USA so much, why don't they go to the Chinese embassy do their "rally" their, or better yet, why don't they defend the Spratly islands for a change.
I'm sure they won't do anything, they'll just do their thing and complain how things are in the Philippines.
