China has just proven without a doubt that it is an ARROGANT BULLY when it comes to the Spratlys issue.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei has issued press statements CATEGORICALLY saying that Chinese vessels’ patrolling and doing scientific research were completely justified, and that the Philippines’ claims of intrusions were groundless.
Despite the FACT that claims to the Spratlys by some six countries (I hope I got it right) are STILL UNSETTLED before any internationally-recognized body.
For those who don’t know, there is an agreement called the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
But by declaring that its patrol vessels were justified and our complaints of intrusions were groundless, China has IGNORED THE UNCLOS by acting as judge of its own actions.
Even a high school kid will realize that China has the guts to ignore the UNCLOS and insult us with intrusions into our territory simply because she’s the biggest among the countries claiming the Spratlys.
But like the typical bully, China steps back and acts as if she’s the prey when the proverbial somebody of her own size steps into the picture.
For the second time, China has called on the United States to refrain from getting involved in the Spratlys dispute.
The US had earlier declared that it would support us in the Spratlys issue.
But take note, boys and girls, the US HAS NOT DONE ANYTHNG against the Chinese over the Spratlys dispute.
The US ONLY declared its support to us and EXPRESSED ITS OPINION on China’s intrusions into our territories. The freedom of expression is a universal right, is it not?
It’s NOT GETTING INVOLVED in the strictest sense of the word.
Unless China has thrown human rights to the wind and wants to CONTROL, from now on everything that anybody wiould wan to say about the Spratlys.
Communism, anyone?

Watch ko TV dito sa Hong Kong. Nagpapraktis na mga china kung paano magpasabog ng kanyon,..nanakot na,

We can assume but we cannot underestimate their intentions.
RAUL VALENZUELA of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
It’s a matter of Filipinos’ properties and honor, China is nothing.
JOE BOY VERA
That is exactly what I am trying to say. China will not dare lose all her economic gains by going to war. Remember that America owes them billions of dollars and what could be the most painful sanction than to default on payments.
FE ARSENIA DE GRACIA of Houston, Texas
Just wondering how China became the owner of Spratlys when it is around 40 miles away from the Philippines and around 600 miles away from China.
NYLRAM DE TEMPLO
I hope so, and that is very nice to hear from you. Tanks.
ANTONIO CRISTOBAL of Manila
Kailangan may masamang maganap para magkaroon ng giyera gaya nung 9/11 scenario. Pag hindi walang giyera kundi war mongering lang yan. Hindi pa nila gagawin sa atin iyan kasi ang focus nila economic. Pero hindi (dapat) isinasantabi ang military might nila.
SERGIO NEPOMUCENO
Yes, the Chinese won't. They have lots to lose in their interests all over the world. What if the USA pulls out their business endeavors from China and triggers the mass pullout of other nation's interests? That will put the "sleeping giant" back into slumber and the panda into hybernation.
JOSE REYES of Victorias, Negros occidental
Deception is an art of war for the Chinese, since (the time of) their popular General Sun Tzu. While we talk about it, the Chinese are already making an advanced move. As the saying goes, "In the long run, China will win."
JOREL PANARES of Cebu City
Nice to read this.
SUGI ANTO of Indonesia
Nice post. Thanks for the information. I'm a blogger from Indonesia.

These Muslims are a disgrace to the religion of peace.

Most terrorists are blinded or brainwashed by their leaders.

So Mindanao is a haven of terrorists now?

Hirap naman kasi sa AFP, pag nagpalit ng commander-in-chief pati mga pagtugis nawawaka, Kikilos lang AFP pag may nalagas na sa mamamayan.
AMAR AQUINO of Tacurong, Sultan Kudarat
Muslims become terrorists on the belief that killing disbelievers is a way of praising their god (Allah), contrary to Jesus Christ’s teaching of loving and praying for the enemy-Matthew 5:44.
EFREN PIMENTEL of Silang, Cavite
FEAR means False Evidence Appearing Real. Sowing fear is the core strategy of terrorism. Be not afraid. Be vigilant. Use and leverage well the intelligence network. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD!
BING SALVADOR of Quezon City
This is bad news but let's hope it doesn't happen here. Terrorism is everywhere and no one is spared by its dastardly acts.
MARY GEM PAGGAO
Thanks for the advice. We need to be alert at all times. PRAY, PRAY PRAY! Because of poverty, some are being paid to killi Filipinos like chicken and it's hard to pinpoint who are the masterminds.
DANTE PALAFOX of Caloocan City
They advised the Filipinos. Who instructed them to do the bombings, the intel (intelligence operatives) themselves or the Globalist?
ESTHER UY-OCO of Oceanside, California, USA
Kahit na po walang advisory, we need to be alert para man lang sa ating pamilya.
ROMULUS BELTRAN of Quezon City
The Philippines is a likely target of terrorists because of our close ties and alliance with the USA. This is revolting because we do not even get the respect we deserve from the US of A. North Korea gets more concessions from the Americans because it threatened them back when they hinted of military action. They call us friends and yet treat their enemies far better than us.
DOC C ELEDA PERA of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Thanks for the reminder! We really need to be alert at all times.
JOSE NICANDRO
Kaya we ordinary citizens should always be vigilant. Huwag tayo umasa lang sa kapulisan.

Sabi ni PNoy, she had already served her punishment. Kailan pa naging punishment ang leave with pay? Kailan pa naging punishment na wala man lang categorical ORDER na dapat mailagay sa service record niya? Ganon siguro punishment sa "buddy." Malas mo lang if ikaw si SP (Special Prosecutor Wendell) Sulit. I read in the papers today “Palace unaware of request to reprimand lto chief". If they are still unaware, how in this world had they disciplined her? How could she have served her punishment Huwag naman tayo gawing tatanga tanga.
