US eyes $100 million in foreign military financing for the Philippines

[yuschin]

We don't need military financing; we need economic development and infrastructure financing!

[wivinaconcepcion]

Give all that money to the less fortunate in your country FEED YOUR STREET DWELLERS, GIVE THEM PLACES TO SLEEP WITH ... NO HUMAN BEING WANTS WAR .. WE MAHARLIKANS DONT NEED YOUR DIRTY MONEY

[maryedelguzman]

About time both countries realize the strategic and geopolitical importance of the Philippines in the Asia Pacific region.

[countdracula]

their goes my country again using our tax money and giving it away when our country could use it for so much better things.

[artemioarquero]

Why are you insisting your military aid, we don't want war, we are peace loving people, Philippines is a friend to all nation, and enemy to none. Instead of military aid, help us in food production.

pag nanalo si PBBM di 'tayo tutulongan ng US..

[joshuam.]

hmm, this is risky. While we definitely get more advanced and sophisticated weaponry like Ukraine and Taiwan is getting, China would definitely feel provoked if this happens. Seems like the military-industrial complex is looking for more war profit after Ukraine and possibly Taiwan. GG na lang...

Everyone needs more than their salary to be financiaIIy stable. The best thing to do with your money is to lnvest it rightly so it grows because money left for savings always end up used with no returns... 💯

A lot generals and commissioners will be increasing their net worth

[leonardolachica]

In tagalog we call it "SUHOL"

after all this time and the mutual defense treaty we have had over a century, what instance provokes you for that large amount of money to give us for militaritation just now.

[rogerhernandez]

That is a bad deal. Why should we arm ourselves against China, what for? To antagonize China? LOL for trying hard.

[abetperez]

what can you buy with $100M? one fighter jet worth $70M and one attack helicopter for $30M. The $100M is not aid but more like a loan. That means that our goverment will have to pay it back.

[Lliuon]

Thank you na lang po. Tutulong kayo kuno pero may kapalit. Rappler isa din itong tuta ng kano

[danshim]

Ayan na naman ang US. dinadamay na naman nyo yang America sa mga away nila. hahah may sinasabi pa syang Grateful for that. Go Away US

[abetperez]

If the US really wants to help modernize our country’s military equipment, why not offer a squadron of modern fighter jets? or two or three frigates to protect our interest in the West Philippine Seas? Not Hand me downs that were used during the Vietnam War. Even if these are hand me downs we will still have to pay for it.
