Our Soldiers was Injured. Are we accepting this action by China??? We must act accordingly to protect our territory aswell our people.

[JoseNava-lfyi]

Ito ang magandang balita..positive sa mga tao.lumalaban kahit walang baril..

[MataniJuan]

it is necessary to replace the afp leader because it is very weak and he cannot do his duty sworn to the people according to his speech

[rosecatugas]

tama na ang maraming balita, dapat maraming baril, armas, barko, sa karagatan natin at protektahan ang bansa natin para hindi maagaw ang ating kayamanan.

NAVSOG operatives are equipped with helmet cameras. The DND-AFP should release those helmet cam videos to the public.

Filipino taxpayers have a right to know whether the NAVSOG's firearms were surrendered without a fight or those were forcefully taken.

The AFP narrative vastly differs from the eye witness account as reported first on a local publication.

Kung mag deploy kayo make sure na kaya nyo din mag decide to engage kapag nagigipit na mga Sundalo natin..Dapat kasi yung Shaldag MK V ang padala sa resuply or SSV with 2 chopper at yung isa atak hello para escort proteksyon!

[eyeinthesky]

Brawner should be replaced, he doesn't want to take the responsibilities as a higher AFP official.

[jonathangan]

It all boils down to WEAK leadership of the military. They sent men unprepared and defenseless. STEP DOWN and put someone who can actually do their job and lead our men. I am sick of all the whining done by men in uniform every time an incident happens in WPS.

[FilipinasTagolimot]

If situation dictate to use deadly force in order to protect our sovereignt right then so be it without hesitation. Am i right or wrong?

[rewrtegaming]

Mr. Brawner please go personally on the next resupply and be like a punching bag not our soldiers. Kawawa soldiers maximum tolerance di pumalag anu silbi Ng baril ? May self defense nga na sinasabi eh. Duwag AFP and PCG, nakakhiya kayo

[ynnaddomingo]

Oo pero kokonti sila kayadamihan mo namn magpadala ng personal wag na lasi paawa effect paratulungan ng ibang bansa

[johnestilles]

Lupit kaya ng training ng mga soldiers na yan!!khit saktan sa sariling sasakyan, kahit maputulan ng daliri, kahit pa sa ating eez, hindi sila lalaban??wow ha!!only in the philippines!!😅

[martina-xokx]

Ok lang daw maputulan ng daliri basta di naman patay at d na rin lalaban ..

[MataniJuan]

the leader of the afp needs to be replaced because he does not think about his words that weaken the military's ability, maybe he just doesn't have enough brains to know that the interview with him is on air and he will say the weakness of the Philippines that he is being taken advantage of by the invading country

Melitary Confrontations
" it's already - Ack of War " ...

[BLACKRose-eiqx]

[juanlynching]

[RandyGonzales-ierw]

Simulan na ng gobyerno mag angkat ng mga armas na magagamit ng mga sibilyan. Dahil sa ngayon, ultimo sa mga sundalo niya kulang ang armas niya.
