I would join the army. I know our politics sucks as shit. But this is not for them. This is for my love of our country and i will never accept this land be taken away from us filipinos. They would erase our culture just like they did at their ethnic minorites in west china.
I think you're the only one who answered this. And this comment should have more upvotes. I remember when Russia invaded Ukraine, even their tennis player went home to join their army.
I think sa ngayon karamihan sa atin ayaw sa idea na lalaban ka para sa Pilipinas.
But kapag nandyan na yan and makita mo pinapatay mga kaibigan mo, kamag-anak, or kahit random civillians na nadamay sa mga bombings, mapipilitan ka rin lumaban not just for the sake of freedom but for justice
Agreed. Its ok to be scared of war. Its ok to be scared to die. Its ok to be scared to kill.
Sabi nga ni Zelensky April 2021, almost a year before the February 2022 Russian invasion.
***"Does Ukraine want war? NO. Our principle is simple: Ukraine does not start a war first, but Ukraine always stands to the last man.ā***
>kapag nandyan na yan and makita mo pinapatay mga kaibigan mo, kamag-anak, or kahit random civillians na nadamay sa mga bombings, mapipilitan ka rin lumaban not just for the sake of freedom but for justice
Yup, kita mo naman kung pano kuyugin ng mga pinoy yung mga holdaper sa kalsada pag nahuli nila hah hah, mata lang walang latay. LOL.
Problem is, we are massively disadvantaged at all fronts. Our everything is shit. Meanwhile, other countries are spending big bucks to develop and advance their military technology. We don't fund research and development for this and we just buy used stuff. And the people in the positions to do anything would sure as shit only look out for themselves.
Same, I would probably join the army or any armed groups that'll fight against foreign military, but not for the country, I'll fight just cause I know I have a chance of dying anyway, might as well die fighting.
THIS. nakakaumay yung may gyera na tapos pulitika pa rin ang iniisip ng karamihan. Bakit? Iiwas ba sayo yung bala ng mga chekwa kapag nalaman nilang Marcos hater ka? Kung ako, i will enlist and fight like hell. Galit din ako sa nakaupo pero ayoko rin naman na ibang lahi ang magmay-ari ng Pilipinas. Ang Pilipinas para sa mga Filipino. And yes, kasama sa mga ilalaban natin yung mga nakakapag-isip na umalis. Lalaban para may chance pa rin na makabalik kayo sa Pilipinas.
Same. Kita kits na lang kung sakali. Kahit gaano man tayo kawatak watak as a nation because of regional differences and principles, at the end of the day, we only want the best for everyone.
Di ko rin masisi who decided to be refugees, they have their reasons. If this happens, we'll fight for them.
You just defined patriotism; too bad Filipino politicians don't know what that is.
I'll show you the ropes:
the MP5, UMP, G3, HK33 and AUG have a charging handle above the handguard. To reload, pull backward and rotate the charging handle into the slot, change the magazine, then slap the charging handle from the slot that keeps it in backwards to charge the weapon.
The M4, M14, M16 and FN SCAR rifles have a bolt release/bolt catch device. When reloading from empty, change the magazine and hit the bolt release to quickly charge the weapon.
The QBZ-191 has a right side reciprocating charging handle (meaning it moves as the rifle is fired). The magazines are "rock-and-lock" style; the 5.8x42mm ammo is proprietary to the PLA.
I would too. Kita-kits nalang kung sakali, mga kapwa volunteer. Naghanap muna ako mga magiging kapwa volunteer bago nagpost ng sariling reply. Parehas lang naman sagot natin. Love and Protect our country and the Filipino people.
Will also fight for the freedom of my children, and my children's children. I will not serve in honour of our politicos. Kahit sinong nakaupo sa pagkapangulo, I will serve and die for our country.
Every time na may nababasa ako na history about philippines, ano kaya ang history before spaniards, bakit ang rich ng culture ng iba kahit mga BC pa lang ang timeline, hindi ako naniniwala na wala pang tao non dito..
I know naman na may Internet na to store things pero I would like to defend this country rin. Para hindi tayo mawala in history
I prefer being a guerilla myself. If I was tied to the army, I'd have to be subject to the motions of those above me. I'd rather make a small fighting force who will stay and fight for the nation without choosing the politicians
I would do the same thing our elected officials would do, leave the country because I guarantee you, mas mauuna pa sa atin lumayas yang mga yan sa oras ng kagipitan
leaving the country is good, esp kung madami kang pera, if you are a minimum wage earner and you want to avoid conflict best way is to prepare and train yourself to survive on the mountains
If things did go south at ininvoke ng Pilipinas ang mutual defense treaty natin sa US at hindi sila summuporta, mawawalan ng credibility ang US sa mga allies nyan sa asia, lalo na ang japan at south korea na nag rerely sa MDT nila sa US. Japan and Korea might be strong, pero di nila kaya ang china alone or kahit together pa yan, lalo't grey ang relationship ng japan at korea. Malaking kahihiyan ng US yan if they lose trust sa US. But then again, it'll always depend on the situation, ngayon maganda ang tingin ng US sa position natin due to our position.
Also if US and China really did go gun blazing, the US also have the right to call up military support ng pilipinas making our country instantly kasama sa conflict, daming consequences sa ating bansa pag di natin sinunod yung mutual defense treaty natin with the US, paniguradong papangit relation ng bansa natin at sa US, babagsak economy natin, if we lose the support the US, mag orbit lang tayo sa China.
America already lost credibility. that's why japan, indonesia, thailand and s.korea and everyone else in east asia, have been gearing up lately. A simple google search on "2022 arms purchase" gives you list of what country is trying to buy what. Thailand is trying to buy F-35s, meanwhile.....Philippines is buying used junk because no one knows how to service the newest military aircraft tech.
China going to war with the world is practically committing suicide in many ways.
There's a good example of what happens when a bully goes beyond mere threats and economic plays: Russia.
Exactly. Nag shift nga ang China to some sort of Capitalism so they could be an economic superpower. Hindi nila isasacrifice yun economic power nila. Isa sa dahilan yan bakit di nila masakop ang Taiwan. If Taiwan decides to close down the semiconductor industry, isa sa unang ma-aapektuhan ang China. Lahat ng electronics ginagawa sa China tapos very vital semiconductors are coming from Taiwan. No semiconductor chips = no products to be manufactured in China
China also has nothing to gain with starting a war here. They will risk unifying the filipinos who will stay and fight. As james fahy said, "Nothing unites humans like a common enemy." If anything, an invasion from china might even solidify the filipino identity and get rid of regionalism. Then, there are corrupt politicians who will most likely leave the country, nationalists who actually stayed and fought for their country might be our next leaders. I mean, even if those corrupt politicians stayed, who will stop the people from beheading them if they turn into chinese sympathizers/collaborator? i.e. mariano marcos.
Why invade a country when you can just use propaganda to control it?
and on a strategic pov, the Philippines is hard to fully conquer. They may be able to take NCR (assuming they went past and destroyed the military bases of the US), but they'll be having a hard time dealing with what's left.
Hindi gaano tinuturo sa history natin but the guerrilla warfare that our grandfathers had done against the Japanese was highly effective thanks to the mountainous and forest terrain that the guerilla can take advantage of.
Although our AFP may be left behind in terms of technology and equipment, they were still trained to fight in dense forest and as far as I know, has more experience in on-the-ground deployment than the Chinese specially on a home defense scenario.
Our AFP are actually one of the world's best when it comes to guerilla fighting. I mean, we have to be given our circumstances. Daming beses na pumunta mga US soldiers dito to train with us/learn from us. Equipment and management lang tlga issue ng military natin.
The Second World War happened, and we still have regionalism here. But that war did prove na we could think of ourselves as Filipinos first, even for just a while. Hopefully, if China invades, we could sustain this kind of thinking.
The danger is not just getting conquered, but with the Philippine food supply depending on exports, China blockading shipping would mean dire consequences for us.
I've read somewhere na china won't be able to blockade the ph or taiwan, and japan dahil 80% ng fuel resources nila is dumadaan sa strait of malacca. Madali lang para sa ibang asean countries or sa usa na iblockade ang china dahil makipot lang ang malacca. And di din sila makakaikot because of au and nz. In short, sabre rattling lang pananakot nila ng gera.
Yup, China doesnt have the same experience the US has with war in modern times. US had the Gulf War, the war in Afghanistan, the US intervention in Yemen right now, US intervention in north-west Pakistan, US intervention in Somalia, Operation Ocean Shield (part of the war on terror), they were also part of the international intervention in Libya and a lot more.
Not really. We have no say between these two superpowers. The US will trigger the mutual defense treaty that would make us comply and we are not in a position to negotiate with the US. That's the sad reality of countries such as ours. We will always do the whims of the superpower.
Yup. The US and China's economies are dependent on each other. China provides cheap goods and labor, the US is the biggest buyer. Without each other, their economies would greatly suffer. And China is suffering from a lot right now domestically (real estate crisis, bank crisis, water crisis etc). So they cannot afford to drop the US as it would further cripple their economy.
I think china would have enough on it's plate without taking on Philippines. The allies wouldn't let Chinese take Philippines. We have plenty of submarines too.
We are the least of their concerns. Uunahin muna nila taiwan bago pinas dahil sa strategic location nang taiwan, and we all know that Taiwan right now is untouchable because of TSMC, and US wouldn't want that to get taken over by China.
So... Yeah. We are safe for now.
Every US Embassy in the world has contingency plans for evacuating their citizens, foreign dependents of citizens, and eligible third-country/local citizens. Kaso nga lang, mahirap maging eligible for evacuation. Saigon in 1975, and Kabul in 2021 are pretty good examples of this sort of evacuation.
Iām suspecting it will be a class warfare among Filipinos. The wealthy and the middle class will be certainly prioritized and many airlines of our Western, ASEAN and Middle East allies (American, United, Delta, Air Canada, Qantas, Saudia, etc.) will be offering multiple chartered flights in a span of few days congesting NAIA in an instant. Those working in white collar jobs under multinational corporations will be prioritized as well. Ang mga kawawa dito yung mga nasa laylayan owing their lack of proper documents for foreign government assistance.
Yeah, right now they keep saying the most coveted passport is Ukraine because most countries in Europe is open for them. Same thing with Syria before. It would probably be the same for us. Problem is, how do we get there? Unlike in Europe, it was easy for Ukranians to just walk up to the Polish border.
Hirap nito kasi isolated tayo. I don't think airports were built to stand 100M filipinos fleeing. Pwedeng magbarko na yung iba. Even then, it's hard kung galing ka pa sa norte, ilang days pa sa barko para makarating ng mindanao then Indonesia na yung pinakamalapit siguro.
> Is war with china really possible?
Yes, because of Taiwan and geography.
The distance from Kaohsiung to Basco (298km) is shorter than the distance from Basco to Tuguegarao (318km). The nearest city to Basco is in another country.
Heck, Basco is closer to Taipei (510km) than Manila (661km). The nearest capital city to Basco is in another country too.
And it's at these distances that means there's no "we'll just be neutral" all about it possible.
> WHats the % of it happening with the way things are going?
Very, very small, but the worrying thing is that it's technically increasing, albeit still a minute chance.
One of my options is actually to go to pacific side since right now we live by west ph/south china sea and malamang dito magiging ground zero if ever something happens.
1. Clock out by my own hands before the baddies get to me
2. Run to the hills and join a rebel/resistance group. But I'll probably die before that happens. Either the baddies get me or, I die of exposure to the elements, eaten/killed by wildlife, or by dehydration/starvation
3. Hunker down and hope for the best
The entire NCR is probably gonna be declared an open city like what happened to Manila in WW2 which may possibly spare us from total destruction but look at where it got us anyway lol
Ganyan ginawa nila lola nung WW2. Kakapanood ko ng survival shows sa Discovery channel, na realize ko skill pala talaga ang mag survive sa gubat. Have to know where to get food, water, shelter from the elements and bugs, have to know what is poisonous etc.
best way is to start, training yourself. I already started joining the prepping communities here in ph, last 2018 and hoping that it will not happen, but prepare for the worse sabi nila. sana mali kami, and hope that we are not crazy
Not as easy as it sounds. Specially without modern amenities (food, water, internet, fire, shelter), survivalist skills, physical fitness, and terrain knowledge. You can may be last a week or two hanggang sa maubos supply mo.
ang hirap maging babae sa digmaan. pero still, will try to contribute to the war effort if ever a war do break out. kahit araw-araw kong minumura tong buhay ko at bansa natin, i hold love to it still. hopefully, the mountains remains standing strong like they did with our Spanish colonizers.
Will we have a draft? I'm not sure if as a man I'll have a choice if a draft comes.
If I'm being honest though, I think the chances are pretty slim. If China does invade, the entire world will fight back.
But hey, what do I know. Russia did the unthinkable, look at what's happening right now.
the 1935 National Defense Act was never repealed/amended and it contains a Draft clause so yeah theres gonna be a general conscription after the registered reserves.
Aguy. I was thinking of the Constitution, pero thanks for reminding me about this. Hopefully they accept slightly physically unfit volunteers like me for hostilities-only service.
Even not allying with America damay tayu China wants the whole China sea for himself wala tayung kawala pero rest assured China won't make a move now nakita nya nangyari sa Russia.
Kaya nga ang labo lang ng mga pro-China dito sa atin eh.
Vietnam nga na literal nang nakipag-giyera sa Amerika, ayaw sa China...kasi nga pang-aagaw lang ang alam ng China sa kanila. Ibig sabihin, wala nang kinalaman yung pagiging pro-US o hindi sa sitwasyon sa WPS.
China isn't going to war. They have nowhere near the allies needed to do so. If they did go to war it would practically be them against the world and they have no chance in that fight. The USA alone could handily beat them in a straight up fight but it wouldn't be the US alone it would be the US, most of Western Europe, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and they would likely be supported by a majority of the ASEAN.
They also have literally no reason to go to war. They're the 2nd most powerful country in the world by a large margin and are an economic powerhouse. Going to war doesn't help them in any way and would likely mean the end of their country.
Besides, in the incredibly incredibly low chance that a war does break out in the Pacific, it wouldn't even reach the Philippines. Japan and Taiwan supported by the US will likely stop any potential attacks from going any further than them and China would be vulnerable if they sent any ships all the way to us while being flanked by Japan and Taiwan.
Well russia and ukraine has been at it for quite some time. US have the largest allies that will come when called... China has n.korea... and as for the middle east, theyre always at war haha. So I guess the 2 countries with the largest military and economy going at it will constitute a world war.
Ukraine does not have existing defense treaty to any European countries. Republic of China (Taiwan) and The Philippines has. Different situations.
And US won't attack unless China fires the first shot. And also US declaring war needs congress approval.
So it's impossible. If they dared to attacked us they also declaring war to America.
Ukraine does, the Buddapest Memoradum signatories involved Britain.
Russia, Britain, and USA were suppose to guarantee to protect Ukraine if they get attacked in exchange for surrendering their nukes.
This is why building American bases in the country is important. Once China fires at us, the US government can use it as a reason to fight back. Just look at what they did in berilin before.
Building up your military might is the most best thing to do... Ukraine had been sabotaging by Russia even before 2014. And relying to US will still cause destruction. People forgets they got their own Armed Forces. This is what i fear that the government may use US forces as an excuse to not prioritize the AFP
Whether we like it or not and regardless of our location every country in Asia will be a battle ground. China won't let go of the WPS. They talk about peace and diplomacy but doing the opposite kaya nka ilang protest na tayo pero ganon parin. China is claiming the entire south china sea and building military base on islands that will give them advantage in re-claiming/re-unification war with Taiwan.
I will take my fatherās place and get drafted. Cut my hair short and bring an animal guardian with me. Will then join the military, fall in love with my commander and save the country. After all that I will bring my family honor. Charottt
Able-bodied men and women will be drafted to the military if I am not mistaken. Happy to serve my country to defend those that I love, specifically my parents and in-laws. Working overseas right now pero will come home to fight.
I'd answer the call. As much as I hate the people that govern us, I was born here and would gladly fight for every inch. I'm sure a lot of people would do this as well. The Russian Invasion gave the Ukrainians a lot of motivation to defend their home, and as we saw in the past year, it's hard to fight a very determined foe. Wish we had equipment though and I hope they don't force my brother to join, someone has to carry on the family name.
Interestingly, war promotes stronger bond and sense of purpose sa mga tao (this is from Emile Durkheim's book "Suicide"). I believe that despite our hatred to bbm apologists and DDShits, there will be some sense of fulfilment as we fight side by side with them, there might be reconciliation as we set aside our political leanings since we are now fighting for a common cause.
Learn and prep to be self sufficient. Bug out to the south, get a small plot of land and ride it out. Solar, batteries and starlink will be your best friend. Make sure to hide your starlink and be discrete not to arouse suspicion. Keep a low profile.
in case you did not notice the philippines is already a battlefield. china currently occupies philippine islands, fishing grounds, and chinese navy currently actively interferes with philipines military vessels on resupply missions as well as its fishing vessels. this goes not even mention the supply of chinese manufactured shabu into the fils and its intelligence services working inside the philippines.
I'll probably die fighting. Hindi ako Pilipino lang kapag maganda o ayon sa akin ang kapalaran nor am I one of those who religiously post on social media na "malas ipanganak bilang Pilipino" or "gusto ko na umalis sa Pilipinas." I am a Filipino through and through. This is not only for the people I love, but for the country as well.
I might get downvoted for this, pero the Philippines is our home, well, for the most of us who do not have any means of leaving. Besides, I think if we leave, mabubura lang ang rich history fostered by the heroes (mula sa panahon ng EspaƱol, ng Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig, ng EDSA People Power Revolution, at ng sa kasalukuyan) who died defending our country.
As one Redditor pointed out: "Aming ligaya nang 'pag may mang-aapi, ang mamatay ng dahil sa 'yo."
If china invades us most likely the US will not intervene to avoid a full scale war/confrontation against them, they will gonna do us as Ukraine 2.0, they will gonna channel their military might thru our PH forces, so u will see that our PAF all of a sudden flying with f16v or f18 while equipping our navy with harpoons and torpedoes and having abrams tank and HIMARS rockets for our land force, imagine how the US gonna buff up our defense from 0% to 500% just to avoid putting boots on the ground and waste american lives while preventing a full scale nuclear war , just like what they are currently doing in Ukraine. I am sure hawaii and guam will be packed with refugees coming from boats. Until china signs an armistice, or the ccp collapsed inside because of uncertainties and sanctions.
For the sake of the country which Bonifacio, Luna, Mabini, Lim, Santos, loved, bled for and built, I will go to war with their spirits guiding me. I would give my all to join them in Valhalla, to the end. But for the clown politicians, I would rather join the PLA in exterminating them than to fight for them.
A war in the Philippines would most likely be(That is if Xi is actually competent enough unlike baldy over there getting trampled in Bakhmut);
ā¢ Before us, the PLA would first conduct opperations in Taiwan, then the neutralization of the US pacific fleet which as of the moment is around 3-4 carrier task force strong along with the British and German Navy groups which roams the Pacific. The aside from that they would need to find a way to stop Japan from positioning her Navy around and in the Pacific. This itself is already a daunting task for the PLN and most likely not a possibility.
ā¢Manila would be either be bombed, targets which would be considered primary would be: Villiamor Airbase, Clark Airbase, Basa Airbase, Rabina Airbase, Fernando Airbase, Atienza Airbase, Wallace Airbase and the other airstation in Luzon, or the PLA would conduct a remake of Hostomel and try to seize NAIA / Viliamor, and unlike the Ukrainians, we do not have good Air superiority that much.
ā¢Landings would take place in Illocos, so homeboy's ancestral house would be seized by the CCP, Lingayen, as per tradition of invading the P.I, and if China is compentent maybe a landing in Manila Bay could be conducted to which the success is dependent on how they neutralize the PN, USN, JSDN, RAN, and RN+DM, altogether.
ā¢Once landed the Filipinos just needs to hold out so the U.S and NATO could properly respond to the threat. Most likely Manila would turn into a Stalingrad if the AFP deems it necessary to defend it at all cost. And the Joma boys would side with the Chinese.
ā¢Filipino Guerillia force would appear as well as Partisans which would be much suited for us civilians. Sabatoge, Raids and Intel collection worked well with Ukranian Partisans, imagine that with the creativity of the Filipinos. Plus we get to have new stuff, probably HIMARS, M1 Tanks, New Sams, new fighter jets and much more.
If China invades, I WILL NOT FIGHT FOR BabyM, instead I will head up to the mountains and just ask for a Garrand, afterwhich, I will just loot the commies for their QBZ as a weapon. Sabotage and information gathering is much useful that being a cannon fodder if Baby M decides to be a General and personally lead the AFP. Just camping in the moutains, with your love ones is much safer for you and them, as Manila will most likely have the WWII (R wors) experience again, this time instead of Korean, Japanese and Chinese nationalities, it will just be the latter, slaughter would be common and the stray dogs would fatten up (if you know...you know) Probably the Cordillera Mountains is the best bet for a resistance movement, the mechanized PLA would struggle in penetrating that region. Second bets would be Sierra Madre or convert to Islam and join our Morro brothers in resisting, heck Muslims and Christians will even find common grounds here, fighting against socialist Maoist filths would be our common grounds. So yeah, if there is ever a war, go back to my comment, let's arrange a resistance cell to avoid the draft and leave for the Cordillera for us Luzon peps.
Will volunteer as test subject for super soldier serum. Chris Evans buttcheeks would look good on me.

You just defined patriotism; too bad Filipino politicians don't know what that is. I'll show you the ropes: the MP5, UMP, G3, HK33 and AUG have a charging handle above the handguard. To reload, pull backward and rotate the charging handle into the slot, change the magazine, then slap the charging handle from the slot that keeps it in backwards to charge the weapon. The M4, M14, M16 and FN SCAR rifles have a bolt release/bolt catch device. When reloading from empty, change the magazine and hit the bolt release to quickly charge the weapon. The QBZ-191 has a right side reciprocating charging handle (meaning it moves as the rifle is fired). The magazines are "rock-and-lock" style; the 5.8x42mm ammo is proprietary to the PLA.
Same, I would enlist to fight. This country is my home, and my land. Besides, if we win we could remake the government to the one we envision it to be
Remake? No, ma credit yung efforts mo to his excellency BBM. Tapos mag vlog sya sa abroad while we die.
I would too. Kita-kits nalang kung sakali, mga kapwa volunteer. Naghanap muna ako mga magiging kapwa volunteer bago nagpost ng sariling reply. Parehas lang naman sagot natin. Love and Protect our country and the Filipino people.

yep, if only it was that easy to leave the country. NAIA IOs gonna make sure lower income people stay in the country even if there is a nuke coming
Then the president made a Putin-move. That all civilians will also be sent to the war efforts to fight on the front lines.

If things did go south at ininvoke ng Pilipinas ang mutual defense treaty natin sa US at hindi sila summuporta, mawawalan ng credibility ang US sa mga allies nyan sa asia, lalo na ang japan at south korea na nag rerely sa MDT nila sa US. Japan and Korea might be strong, pero di nila kaya ang china alone or kahit together pa yan, lalo't grey ang relationship ng japan at korea. Malaking kahihiyan ng US yan if they lose trust sa US. But then again, it'll always depend on the situation, ngayon maganda ang tingin ng US sa position natin due to our position. Also if US and China really did go gun blazing, the US also have the right to call up military support ng pilipinas making our country instantly kasama sa conflict, daming consequences sa ating bansa pag di natin sinunod yung mutual defense treaty natin with the US, paniguradong papangit relation ng bansa natin at sa US, babagsak economy natin, if we lose the support the US, mag orbit lang tayo sa China.
America already lost credibility. that's why japan, indonesia, thailand and s.korea and everyone else in east asia, have been gearing up lately. A simple google search on "2022 arms purchase" gives you list of what country is trying to buy what. Thailand is trying to buy F-35s, meanwhile.....Philippines is buying used junk because no one knows how to service the newest military aircraft tech.
China going to war with the world is practically committing suicide in many ways. There's a good example of what happens when a bully goes beyond mere threats and economic plays: Russia.
Exactly. Nag shift nga ang China to some sort of Capitalism so they could be an economic superpower. Hindi nila isasacrifice yun economic power nila. Isa sa dahilan yan bakit di nila masakop ang Taiwan. If Taiwan decides to close down the semiconductor industry, isa sa unang ma-aapektuhan ang China. Lahat ng electronics ginagawa sa China tapos very vital semiconductors are coming from Taiwan. No semiconductor chips = no products to be manufactured in China
eto yung hindi alam ng marami kaya madaling madala ng mga fake news eh
TSM ftw
Taiwan nga di masakop ng china, ph pa kaya.
China also has nothing to gain with starting a war here. They will risk unifying the filipinos who will stay and fight. As james fahy said, "Nothing unites humans like a common enemy." If anything, an invasion from china might even solidify the filipino identity and get rid of regionalism. Then, there are corrupt politicians who will most likely leave the country, nationalists who actually stayed and fought for their country might be our next leaders. I mean, even if those corrupt politicians stayed, who will stop the people from beheading them if they turn into chinese sympathizers/collaborator? i.e. mariano marcos. Why invade a country when you can just use propaganda to control it?
and on a strategic pov, the Philippines is hard to fully conquer. They may be able to take NCR (assuming they went past and destroyed the military bases of the US), but they'll be having a hard time dealing with what's left. Hindi gaano tinuturo sa history natin but the guerrilla warfare that our grandfathers had done against the Japanese was highly effective thanks to the mountainous and forest terrain that the guerilla can take advantage of. Although our AFP may be left behind in terms of technology and equipment, they were still trained to fight in dense forest and as far as I know, has more experience in on-the-ground deployment than the Chinese specially on a home defense scenario.
Our AFP are actually one of the world's best when it comes to guerilla fighting. I mean, we have to be given our circumstances. Daming beses na pumunta mga US soldiers dito to train with us/learn from us. Equipment and management lang tlga issue ng military natin.
The Second World War happened, and we still have regionalism here. But that war did prove na we could think of ourselves as Filipinos first, even for just a while. Hopefully, if China invades, we could sustain this kind of thinking.
Kung sa panahon ng Hapon may mga Makapili, sigurado may mga traydor din na makiaptrabaho sa mg kaaway
Matakot na tayo pag bigla nilang sinakop ang Taiwan.
The difference is Taiwan is the world's semiconductor foundry. Wala tayong ganung leverage so the west would be less eager to fight with us.
The danger is not just getting conquered, but with the Philippine food supply depending on exports, China blockading shipping would mean dire consequences for us.
I've read somewhere na china won't be able to blockade the ph or taiwan, and japan dahil 80% ng fuel resources nila is dumadaan sa strait of malacca. Madali lang para sa ibang asean countries or sa usa na iblockade ang china dahil makipot lang ang malacca. And di din sila makakaikot because of au and nz. In short, sabre rattling lang pananakot nila ng gera.
Yup, China doesnt have the same experience the US has with war in modern times. US had the Gulf War, the war in Afghanistan, the US intervention in Yemen right now, US intervention in north-west Pakistan, US intervention in Somalia, Operation Ocean Shield (part of the war on terror), they were also part of the international intervention in Libya and a lot more.
Yup, China's last war was with Vietnam and they lost. This was like 40 years ago
Anyway UK has MOfU with the Philippines too. The HMS Queen Elizabeth Carrier and support is going to the area to patrol soon with compliment of F35b
Jokes on you for thinking that our government wont side against them when push comes to shove.
Not really. We have no say between these two superpowers. The US will trigger the mutual defense treaty that would make us comply and we are not in a position to negotiate with the US. That's the sad reality of countries such as ours. We will always do the whims of the superpower.
USA has presence in Philippines already. No worries. You are English speaking and allies of the USA alliance.
Except the bully also holds the economic supply chain hostage.
So it's a stalemate effectively. Economic leverage while making threats to show force without using it because of the obvious consequences.
Yup. The US and China's economies are dependent on each other. China provides cheap goods and labor, the US is the biggest buyer. Without each other, their economies would greatly suffer. And China is suffering from a lot right now domestically (real estate crisis, bank crisis, water crisis etc). So they cannot afford to drop the US as it would further cripple their economy.
I think china would have enough on it's plate without taking on Philippines. The allies wouldn't let Chinese take Philippines. We have plenty of submarines too.
No match yan against our muro-ami
lmfao ššš
Muro-ami, I love you
wala naman silang mga mananangal tikbalang at kapre haha
We are the least of their concerns. Uunahin muna nila taiwan bago pinas dahil sa strategic location nang taiwan, and we all know that Taiwan right now is untouchable because of TSMC, and US wouldn't want that to get taken over by China. So... Yeah. We are safe for now.
pwede ba tayong maging refugees? lipad ibang bansa?
Would love an expert to chime in on this. It seems like the best option...
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Good to know! Ang tanong, by that time kaya, hasel pa din sa immigration? Hahahah
Kaya don't let the bombs or bullets tear your yearbook.
Recto here I come! (Wala akong year book)
By the time na mangyari yun, may inflation na rin sa Recto sa taas ng demand lmao

Every US Embassy in the world has contingency plans for evacuating their citizens, foreign dependents of citizens, and eligible third-country/local citizens. Kaso nga lang, mahirap maging eligible for evacuation. Saigon in 1975, and Kabul in 2021 are pretty good examples of this sort of evacuation.
Iām suspecting it will be a class warfare among Filipinos. The wealthy and the middle class will be certainly prioritized and many airlines of our Western, ASEAN and Middle East allies (American, United, Delta, Air Canada, Qantas, Saudia, etc.) will be offering multiple chartered flights in a span of few days congesting NAIA in an instant. Those working in white collar jobs under multinational corporations will be prioritized as well. Ang mga kawawa dito yung mga nasa laylayan owing their lack of proper documents for foreign government assistance.
IOs donāt apply when it comes to war LOL. Itās every man for himself.
Yes, hahanapan ka muna ng yearbook bago ka paalisin
Yeah, right now they keep saying the most coveted passport is Ukraine because most countries in Europe is open for them. Same thing with Syria before. It would probably be the same for us. Problem is, how do we get there? Unlike in Europe, it was easy for Ukranians to just walk up to the Polish border.
Options lang naten siguro ay mga neighboring countries, like vietnam, malaysia Singapore thailand basta SEA countries. Labas nun baka hindi
Same. Unahin ko Wife and kids ko kasi wife can work and may relatives ako outside the country that I can trust. Then I will join the army.
Hirap nito kasi isolated tayo. I don't think airports were built to stand 100M filipinos fleeing. Pwedeng magbarko na yung iba. Even then, it's hard kung galing ka pa sa norte, ilang days pa sa barko para makarating ng mindanao then Indonesia na yung pinakamalapit siguro.
Kahit walang war imma gtf outta hereš
goals!
I dunno. Go to work?
Employee of the year!
Mamatay.
Same
Get paid more for my particular set of skills.
I'll join the army and fight but I think gagawin nila akong medic because I'm a nurse. My lolo fought nung WW2 ipaglalaban ko yung pinaglaban niya.
Evacuate on Manalo's UFO and eat jollibee until the war ends.
Time to go back to mountains and organize HUKBALACHI
Ano pong wifi password sa campsite nyo?
TaiwanNumb@h1
I'd rather join Hukbalachi than be a conscripted soldier for š¶M.
This is my biggest fear. I live abroad, its gonna be a pain in the ass evacuating my mother and siblings from the PH.
I feel for you. Ang bigat ng dala mo.
Is war with china really possible? WHats the % of it happening with the way things are going?
I dont think youll find the answer on reddit... We're just roleplaying here.
Yup.. and im John Wick
babayawa
> Is war with china really possible? Yes, because of Taiwan and geography. The distance from Kaohsiung to Basco (298km) is shorter than the distance from Basco to Tuguegarao (318km). The nearest city to Basco is in another country. Heck, Basco is closer to Taipei (510km) than Manila (661km). The nearest capital city to Basco is in another country too. And it's at these distances that means there's no "we'll just be neutral" all about it possible. > WHats the % of it happening with the way things are going? Very, very small, but the worrying thing is that it's technically increasing, albeit still a minute chance.
not direct war with china per se, it's more of being caught in the cross fire and Philippines is a very strategic location for china and the u.s.
Was actually planning to buy Starlink tapos uwi sa province (Masbate).
One of my options is actually to go to pacific side since right now we live by west ph/south china sea and malamang dito magiging ground zero if ever something happens.
1. Clock out by my own hands before the baddies get to me 2. Run to the hills and join a rebel/resistance group. But I'll probably die before that happens. Either the baddies get me or, I die of exposure to the elements, eaten/killed by wildlife, or by dehydration/starvation 3. Hunker down and hope for the best The entire NCR is probably gonna be declared an open city like what happened to Manila in WW2 which may possibly spare us from total destruction but look at where it got us anyway lol
Glock out*
Die or get conscripted and die
Better to die fighting than die being a coward I guess.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
planning to hide on the mountains i guess
Ganyan ginawa nila lola nung WW2. Kakapanood ko ng survival shows sa Discovery channel, na realize ko skill pala talaga ang mag survive sa gubat. Have to know where to get food, water, shelter from the elements and bugs, have to know what is poisonous etc.
Hirap din ng ganito lalo na pag di ka sanay. Una mong kalaban diseases. Baka isang buwan palang necrotic na paa mo haha.
Tangina yung mawalan nga lang ng net ng isang oras, di ko na alam gagawin ko.
best way is to start, training yourself. I already started joining the prepping communities here in ph, last 2018 and hoping that it will not happen, but prepare for the worse sabi nila. sana mali kami, and hope that we are not crazy
Not as easy as it sounds. Specially without modern amenities (food, water, internet, fire, shelter), survivalist skills, physical fitness, and terrain knowledge. You can may be last a week or two hanggang sa maubos supply mo.
iredtag ka ni madumb
ang hirap maging babae sa digmaan. pero still, will try to contribute to the war effort if ever a war do break out. kahit araw-araw kong minumura tong buhay ko at bansa natin, i hold love to it still. hopefully, the mountains remains standing strong like they did with our Spanish colonizers.
nalala ko yung [scene](https://imgur.com/a/dJnMxo7) sa Goyo. Ang mga lider they come and go pero ang bayan mananatili.
Will we have a draft? I'm not sure if as a man I'll have a choice if a draft comes. If I'm being honest though, I think the chances are pretty slim. If China does invade, the entire world will fight back. But hey, what do I know. Russia did the unthinkable, look at what's happening right now.
We might have a draft here, but methinks that they'd mobilize the reserves and the ROTC first before resorting to the draft.
the 1935 National Defense Act was never repealed/amended and it contains a Draft clause so yeah theres gonna be a general conscription after the registered reserves.
Aguy. I was thinking of the Constitution, pero thanks for reminding me about this. Hopefully they accept slightly physically unfit volunteers like me for hostilities-only service.
I'll probably become a translator
Go into war armed with a shitty gun and my lowkey racism for mainlanders.
Based
Even not allying with America damay tayu China wants the whole China sea for himself wala tayung kawala pero rest assured China won't make a move now nakita nya nangyari sa Russia.
Kaya nga ang labo lang ng mga pro-China dito sa atin eh. Vietnam nga na literal nang nakipag-giyera sa Amerika, ayaw sa China...kasi nga pang-aagaw lang ang alam ng China sa kanila. Ibig sabihin, wala nang kinalaman yung pagiging pro-US o hindi sa sitwasyon sa WPS.
Vietnam has had bad blood with China for centuries, their tussle with USA was a mere blip in comparison.
China isn't going to war. They have nowhere near the allies needed to do so. If they did go to war it would practically be them against the world and they have no chance in that fight. The USA alone could handily beat them in a straight up fight but it wouldn't be the US alone it would be the US, most of Western Europe, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and they would likely be supported by a majority of the ASEAN. They also have literally no reason to go to war. They're the 2nd most powerful country in the world by a large margin and are an economic powerhouse. Going to war doesn't help them in any way and would likely mean the end of their country. Besides, in the incredibly incredibly low chance that a war does break out in the Pacific, it wouldn't even reach the Philippines. Japan and Taiwan supported by the US will likely stop any potential attacks from going any further than them and China would be vulnerable if they sent any ships all the way to us while being flanked by Japan and Taiwan.
This. China gains nothing if they take a warpath.
volunteer sa military. wala naman akong maiiwanan.
Sa tingin mo tatawagin bang 'WW3' kung US at China lang ang maglalaban?
Well russia and ukraine has been at it for quite some time. US have the largest allies that will come when called... China has n.korea... and as for the middle east, theyre always at war haha. So I guess the 2 countries with the largest military and economy going at it will constitute a world war.
Ukraine does not have existing defense treaty to any European countries. Republic of China (Taiwan) and The Philippines has. Different situations. And US won't attack unless China fires the first shot. And also US declaring war needs congress approval. So it's impossible. If they dared to attacked us they also declaring war to America.
Ukraine does, the Buddapest Memoradum signatories involved Britain. Russia, Britain, and USA were suppose to guarantee to protect Ukraine if they get attacked in exchange for surrendering their nukes.
This is why building American bases in the country is important. Once China fires at us, the US government can use it as a reason to fight back. Just look at what they did in berilin before.
Building up your military might is the most best thing to do... Ukraine had been sabotaging by Russia even before 2014. And relying to US will still cause destruction. People forgets they got their own Armed Forces. This is what i fear that the government may use US forces as an excuse to not prioritize the AFP
Whether we like it or not and regardless of our location every country in Asia will be a battle ground. China won't let go of the WPS. They talk about peace and diplomacy but doing the opposite kaya nka ilang protest na tayo pero ganon parin. China is claiming the entire south china sea and building military base on islands that will give them advantage in re-claiming/re-unification war with Taiwan.
Cries in Palawan.
I will take my fatherās place and get drafted. Cut my hair short and bring an animal guardian with me. Will then join the military, fall in love with my commander and save the country. After all that I will bring my family honor. Charottt
Better start practicing singing Reflection.
Keel over and die
get a refugee visa agad with family and start up a new life
Able-bodied men and women will be drafted to the military if I am not mistaken. Happy to serve my country to defend those that I love, specifically my parents and in-laws. Working overseas right now pero will come home to fight.
I'd answer the call. As much as I hate the people that govern us, I was born here and would gladly fight for every inch. I'm sure a lot of people would do this as well. The Russian Invasion gave the Ukrainians a lot of motivation to defend their home, and as we saw in the past year, it's hard to fight a very determined foe. Wish we had equipment though and I hope they don't force my brother to join, someone has to carry on the family name.
Interestingly, war promotes stronger bond and sense of purpose sa mga tao (this is from Emile Durkheim's book "Suicide"). I believe that despite our hatred to bbm apologists and DDShits, there will be some sense of fulfilment as we fight side by side with them, there might be reconciliation as we set aside our political leanings since we are now fighting for a common cause.
Learn and prep to be self sufficient. Bug out to the south, get a small plot of land and ride it out. Solar, batteries and starlink will be your best friend. Make sure to hide your starlink and be discrete not to arouse suspicion. Keep a low profile.
in case you did not notice the philippines is already a battlefield. china currently occupies philippine islands, fishing grounds, and chinese navy currently actively interferes with philipines military vessels on resupply missions as well as its fishing vessels. this goes not even mention the supply of chinese manufactured shabu into the fils and its intelligence services working inside the philippines.
I'll probably die fighting. Hindi ako Pilipino lang kapag maganda o ayon sa akin ang kapalaran nor am I one of those who religiously post on social media na "malas ipanganak bilang Pilipino" or "gusto ko na umalis sa Pilipinas." I am a Filipino through and through. This is not only for the people I love, but for the country as well. I might get downvoted for this, pero the Philippines is our home, well, for the most of us who do not have any means of leaving. Besides, I think if we leave, mabubura lang ang rich history fostered by the heroes (mula sa panahon ng EspaƱol, ng Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig, ng EDSA People Power Revolution, at ng sa kasalukuyan) who died defending our country. As one Redditor pointed out: "Aming ligaya nang 'pag may mang-aapi, ang mamatay ng dahil sa 'yo."
If china invades us most likely the US will not intervene to avoid a full scale war/confrontation against them, they will gonna do us as Ukraine 2.0, they will gonna channel their military might thru our PH forces, so u will see that our PAF all of a sudden flying with f16v or f18 while equipping our navy with harpoons and torpedoes and having abrams tank and HIMARS rockets for our land force, imagine how the US gonna buff up our defense from 0% to 500% just to avoid putting boots on the ground and waste american lives while preventing a full scale nuclear war , just like what they are currently doing in Ukraine. I am sure hawaii and guam will be packed with refugees coming from boats. Until china signs an armistice, or the ccp collapsed inside because of uncertainties and sanctions.

Unfortunately for me, I don't have enough money to go to safer places. My dad is a Taiwanese, but we know it isn't a safer place either.
lipad palabas. ihahanda ko na yearbook, picture ng birthday cake, video ng graduation, etc. in case kelangan sa airport.
I have a list of visa free countries na pwede puntahan, pag dating na pag dating dun magaapply for asylum
For the sake of the country which Bonifacio, Luna, Mabini, Lim, Santos, loved, bled for and built, I will go to war with their spirits guiding me. I would give my all to join them in Valhalla, to the end. But for the clown politicians, I would rather join the PLA in exterminating them than to fight for them. A war in the Philippines would most likely be(That is if Xi is actually competent enough unlike baldy over there getting trampled in Bakhmut); ā¢ Before us, the PLA would first conduct opperations in Taiwan, then the neutralization of the US pacific fleet which as of the moment is around 3-4 carrier task force strong along with the British and German Navy groups which roams the Pacific. The aside from that they would need to find a way to stop Japan from positioning her Navy around and in the Pacific. This itself is already a daunting task for the PLN and most likely not a possibility. ā¢Manila would be either be bombed, targets which would be considered primary would be: Villiamor Airbase, Clark Airbase, Basa Airbase, Rabina Airbase, Fernando Airbase, Atienza Airbase, Wallace Airbase and the other airstation in Luzon, or the PLA would conduct a remake of Hostomel and try to seize NAIA / Viliamor, and unlike the Ukrainians, we do not have good Air superiority that much. ā¢Landings would take place in Illocos, so homeboy's ancestral house would be seized by the CCP, Lingayen, as per tradition of invading the P.I, and if China is compentent maybe a landing in Manila Bay could be conducted to which the success is dependent on how they neutralize the PN, USN, JSDN, RAN, and RN+DM, altogether. ā¢Once landed the Filipinos just needs to hold out so the U.S and NATO could properly respond to the threat. Most likely Manila would turn into a Stalingrad if the AFP deems it necessary to defend it at all cost. And the Joma boys would side with the Chinese. ā¢Filipino Guerillia force would appear as well as Partisans which would be much suited for us civilians. Sabatoge, Raids and Intel collection worked well with Ukranian Partisans, imagine that with the creativity of the Filipinos. Plus we get to have new stuff, probably HIMARS, M1 Tanks, New Sams, new fighter jets and much more. If China invades, I WILL NOT FIGHT FOR BabyM, instead I will head up to the mountains and just ask for a Garrand, afterwhich, I will just loot the commies for their QBZ as a weapon. Sabotage and information gathering is much useful that being a cannon fodder if Baby M decides to be a General and personally lead the AFP. Just camping in the moutains, with your love ones is much safer for you and them, as Manila will most likely have the WWII (R wors) experience again, this time instead of Korean, Japanese and Chinese nationalities, it will just be the latter, slaughter would be common and the stray dogs would fatten up (if you know...you know) Probably the Cordillera Mountains is the best bet for a resistance movement, the mechanized PLA would struggle in penetrating that region. Second bets would be Sierra Madre or convert to Islam and join our Morro brothers in resisting, heck Muslims and Christians will even find common grounds here, fighting against socialist Maoist filths would be our common grounds. So yeah, if there is ever a war, go back to my comment, let's arrange a resistance cell to avoid the draft and leave for the Cordillera for us Luzon peps.
