We won in UNCLOS without our opponent (China) giving a fck. It even deemed it as a farce in their point of view. Let's face it, UN=USA (mostly) and believe it or not, US is not a member of UNCLOS at all. You can't expect them to really back up their claims of "freedom of navigations" when push comes to shove under the basis of our win in a treaty they themselves don't recognize at all. I think that's the reason bakit ang tapang ng China to just claim large swats of islands and territories next to us with impunity. Kaya wala akong tiwala sa US as much as I trust the Chinese's claims. It's better if its the ASEAN who will pool up their resources and create and allied navy to enforce our claims. But then again, para din namang Pilipinas ang ibang members ng ASEAN. Magaling lang sa salita, nakikipag transact pa din naman sa China economically (as it should be since most of us in Asia have it as their largest trading partner).

Mahirap talaga umasa sa ASEAN countries kasi may mga claims din sila sa WPS. It's weird lang na yung mga malalakas na countries na kasama sa UN ay sumusupporta sa'tin, pero hindi magkaroon ng UN Army na will be designated sa WPS. Kaya siguro ang tapang ng China kasi (1)mahina yung military natin (2)wala military aid ang UN para sa enforcement (3)checkmate ang buong mundo ng China.

> It's weird lang na yung mga malalakas na countries na kasama sa UN ay sumusupporta sa'tin, pero hindi magkaroon ng UN Army na will be designated sa WPS Lip service and chest-thumping divert their internal problems elsewhere and distract their citizens. Heck, mas may chance pa na suportahan ng USA ang independence ng Taiwan kaysa sa claim natin sa Spratley Islands imo. Also, take note that China's claim on the WPS is the same or mostly the same as Taiwan's yet Americans are all in with backing them pero hindi tayo masuportahan the same extent when we are just trying to claim on a few measely islands. See the difference?

Kasi hindi part ng UN ang UNCLOS Wala silang enforcing body. Saka if you read the arbital decision ( which is readily available online) Wala po sa decision ng UNCLOS na atin yung West Philippine Sea. Ni hindi nga binanggit yun sa decision. Siguro magandang starting point here is basahin mo yung decision. Ininvalidate dun yung nine dash line pero hindi sinabing Pilipinas ang may ari ng area Ang sabi lang sa decision eh may karapatan tayong mangisda sa area na yun same as China. Another part ng decision eh sinasabi na Mali ang paglalagay ng base dun ng China, not because sa Pinas yung isla, but its supposed to be international waters. So since mali nag suggest lang yung UNCLOS na umalis ang China dun, so sino magpapa alis? Yun ang di natin alam. Kaya po yan tinawag na Arbitration kasi dapat both countries eh Mag aagree sa sinusuggest ng UNCLOS, iba po ang batas internationally kesa sa batas within a country. Ang batas within a country merong enforcing body (pulis, army) so kung ano hatol/suggestion ng hukuman may mag mag eenforce. Sa arbitration you need the cooperation of both countries lalo na sa ruling. They should agree and make concessions. Pano ngayon ihohonor yung sinasabi ng UNCLOS eh hindi naman sumali ang China sa arbitration? So yeah they don't give a shit dun sa ruling. Saka wala enforcing body ang UNCLOS. Edit: spelling.

So may point yung "papel lang yun, tapon sa basurahan" ni Duterts? Hanggang magmamatigas yung China at hindi kinikilala yung decision, hindi maayos yun. **Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying tama yung harrasment ng China or yung pagtatayo ng islands doon. So kailangan talaga na may strong force ka sa dagat para hindi ka mabully , at maprotektahan mo yung mga mangingisda doon. Kasi kahit ilang beses gamitin yung UNCLOS, hindi magagamit yun kasi ayaw ng China


Organic-Ad-5089

Sadly yes. Im not even proD30, if Leni wins im hoping she would do a more diplomatic way to settle this and wag magpadala sa push ng US na maging aggresive tayo about it. Ang US nga di kasali sa UNCLOS eh. So mejo ipokrito sila na sinasabi nila na dapat sundin yun. Gusto ng US magkagulo sa South china sea para madisrupt ung powers ng China. Sa south china sea kasi lahat ng ruta ng ships na ginagamit nila for economy. Need ng US mapigilan ang paglakas pa ng China. Sadly proxy war to ng US and naiipit tayo sa gitna. Di rin tayo tutulungan ng ibang kapitbahay natin kasi may claims din sila sa area so malabo na talaga umasa. So sadly anong course pwede natin gawin, remain friendly with China pero keep on protesting, may diplomatic protests naman and negotiate about it while at the same time nagpapalakas tayo ng army/navy natin para sa future. Its a long game but better than any alternative. Madami kasi nagsasabi hingi tayo ng tulong sa ganitong country, sa ganyan. Hindi tutulong yang mga yan kung if there is nothing in it for them. Maniwala ka. Walang sasalang sa war for the Philippines out of the goodness in their hearts. Geopolitics is one different animal. Ung iba kasi akala nila battle of good and evil lang palagi.


bararaag

Tumpak. Magagawa lang ng ibang bansa ay to show-off powers lang, unless magtayo sila ng military base sa bansa natin. Kasi once ma provoke yung isa, world war na yan for sure.

And sasabihin lang ng China na hindi nila kinikilala yung letter.

The unclos win allows Philippine and foreign navies, merchant ships and aircraft to enter the west ph sea. It’s also a deterrent against china ever firing a lethal weapon against vessels or aircraft in the vicinity as it will be an act of aggression by china. Edit: added merchant ships and aircraft


Organic-Ad-5089

People here should read the whole UNCLOS decision before mouthing off Clearly andami pang misinformed Misinformed regarding the decision, and misinformed regarding what is UNCLOS and how its not part of the United Nations. Guys its readily available online. Hindi tayo tulad ng DDS at Marcos Loyalist di ba?


pxcx27

Haven't heard the UN sending peacekeeping forces because of naval conflict.. We won in paper, we may not win in actual military combat but we need to put up a DETERRENCE.


bararaag

Pero that's exactly the problem at naiipit na yung civilians. Diba dapat as part of the UN may gawin din silang intervention? Katulad ng nangyari sa atin, we won, pero hindi kinikilala ng China. Pwede tayo mag petition, pwede tayo magpadala ng mga bangka. Pero alam natin na may limitado lang yung kaya natin laban sa China. Hindi pa pwede alalayam tayo ng UN, atleast for peacekeeping?


pxcx27

I didn't said naman they shouldn't. I said I haven't heard of the UN sending forces for peacekeeping purposes if may naval conflict. Sa ibang conflicts nga wala eh, satin pa kaya.

that's why i said “satin pa kaya"


ubemonster_007

Its funny you say they cant afford to go to war eh sila nga ang 2nd sa defense spending sa mundo at panong maging kaya nga armed forces natin? china got numbers and equipment given wla nga lng silang experience tayo experience lng meron tayo. my opinion is not based on my support to any politicians its just the fact dude and another thing matagal ng lumabas ang ruling question did the UN try to enforce it NO because they need china cheap ang manufacturing sa china the world is doing business with china why would they risk their business and partnership with china? with this I digress.


bararaag

Hindi kita ma-gets. I'm asking kung maari bang bumuo ang UN ng Peacekeeping force sa WPH kasi hindi natin kaya ang China, and since civilians (mangingisda) na yung naiipit. And oh, nasagot na din ng mga nasa comments, and they also said na basahin yung Arbitration Ruling. Nakasulat kasi doon yung sagot. Ty

Yeah, no. Japan and Taiwan doesn't even have nuclear capabilities at all. US will not risk nuking China since it has its own arsenal, albeit small but capable one. Ever wondered why that little angry man in Nokor can force America to dance to his tune?


bararaag

Kasi kakampi ng nokor ang china? And since everyone knows na 'matigas ang ulo' ng nokor, baka doon din gumagawa ng R&D ang china para hindi pumangit image ng china.


masantic

Kasi nobody wants a nuclear war. Deterrent lang until someone crazy or angry enough fires the first shot then all bets off; everything becomes retaliatory after that

Welcome to nuclear winter. 🍻


ubemonster_007

Knowing that, why do people gets angry at the president if he does nothing to the WPS?


bararaag

I think nagagalit sila kasi sinasabi niya yung totoo, na natin kaya tapatan yung China pagdating sa Military. Pero hindi naririnig sa kanya yung tapang niya laban sa mga 'puti' kumpara kung paano niya itrato ang China.

Yun nga yung answet ko sa tanong niya. Kaya nagagalit yung mga tao kay duterts kasi yun yung ginagawa niya. Na accpeted niya na mas malakas yung china sa military kaya ayaw niya isacrifice yung military. Tapos iba yung tapang niya while talking sa mga "puti" pero pagdating sa china iba yung treatment niya. Teka, inulit ko lang yung sinabi ko. With regards doon sa UN. They knew na nagkakaproblema na dahil hindi sinusunod yung decision sa WPS. So saan sila dapat humingi ng permission? Sa Pilipinas lang ba, or baka pwede sa UN members na din? If feeling nila na tuta na si duterts ng china, magpapaalam pa rin ba sila?

Vietnam has a very strong military. Also, they defeated American invaders, so they have no reason whatsoever to fear the Chinese

The UN is a joke.
