During the Scarborough crisis,the supreme court judge Enrile (Marcos`s former defense secretary) told the senators in the Supreme court that the Philippines must ready its self to defend its territory.. Then that other ex rebel, Trillianes (now Senator) who was jailed by GMA,and released by Aquino,advises Enrile that the Philippine military is as good as bankrupt and has no real military hard ware to act as a deterrent against Chinese bully boy tactics.
Enrile was shocked as he had no idea that things were that bad.
Since then the Aquino government have been talking more and more to the U.S.
A very wise move in my book..
Perhaps now,U.S war ships will once again use the Scarborough shoal for target practice just like they did in the 70`s and 80`s.
Yanks COME HOME !!!! We are sorry for before... and We miss you big brother!
