Let ph grow and develop stronger, then u.s wont have problem in asia. Philippines can watch, fight, and friendly to its neighbors. Most of all it wont bite the hands that feeds it. Its a grateful nation and fun country that anyone can really rest peacefully in provinces. Basically its just going to chill drink beer and drinks lots of coffee everytime goodtimes badtimes hardtimes

I am a Chinese here, I was born in the Philippines and we have lived here with our clans for a long time. I think the Filipinos will not allow themselves to be defeated in a war against the Chinese! it's a big mess

US should start building factories in the Philippines like Space X launch site in Tawi Tawi, Tesla Gigafactory, INTEL, IPhone etc in order for EDCA to be accepted by many...
