  11. ngayon lang napansin yan dahil ilan years pa lang naman tayo nagkaroon ng bagong barko simula ng maupo si digong.

  13. Individuals needs to refuse to buy any cheap trinket if it is made in China. All of their exports go to fueling this war machine which the CCP is winding-up to throw the world into chaos.

    If it’s made in China, the word can’t afford it

  14. What are the chances, such a surprise. ^^

    So the question would be, are these interactions between chinese coast guard and boats a regular thing nowadays or why where reporters on there in first place?

    The other day coast guard boats of both nations got to close to each other and the chinese boat needed a paintjob afterwards … guess no highend quality steel was used in that vessel ^^.

  17. America will be orchestrating the whole show from hereon out. According to their strategies and timetables. Relegating the Philippines into an ' hold my beer' bystander status.
    Reminiscent of Vietnam and Afghanistan.
    Beggars aren't offered many choices. Aren't we?

  22. Why have we allowed the Chinese to get so big on the world stage. We closed down our industry and now pay money to China to buy their sub-standard rubbish goods. They get richer, we get poorer. Time for our leaders to wake up and bring manufacturing back home. If it all goes wrong in the future, how could we sustain a war against China when we make nothing of our own?

  24. Every time with the audacity of Western journalists, who is stirring up the trouble? Do Chinese coast guard ships carry foreign journalists?

  27. Henry Kissinger: "To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal." Philippines shall stop being a vassal or pawn of your master handler, provocation and disinformational propaganda by PCG and its cahoots will only lead to humiliation.

  32. This is what Communism is all about. It wants to rule its neighbors land and sea and the whole world? This is the Dragon rising in the East but actually has no power. It's only a little feather listening to the demon prince of Gog of Magog. These principalities and powers who are the host of wickedness is already judged by the Mighty Creator of Heavens and Earth. This empire will be toppled in the end and has already lost in these end time's Prophesy. Watch and see!!!

  34. The PH is not claiming anything.

    In 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled in favor of the Philippines against China's claims in the South China Sea. The tribunal found that China's nine-dash line claim had no legal basis under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

  46. The bullies. How come they claimed Wps is theirs when it is a few thound km away from mainland china but a few km only away to d philippines? Trying to militarize the area owned by their neighbour.

  47. 记者登上船之前就已经带有立场了哈哈，就像支持以色列一样，100多年前你们这些帝国主义烧杀抢掠你们还了吗？没有规则就是拳头，有种就来，一百年后历史还是胜利者书写，可怜的印第安人不可以复国，犹太人可以，哈哈

  48. This is bait to get stupid people on board and to suck American boys and men into another bullshit conflict.

  50. Kaya lalong tumapang at nag agresibo mga Intsek na mga ito dahil, Hindi man lng nagpakita nang resistant o kahit uma alma man lng PCG at PH Navy natin..nagpakita kasi ng Kaduwagan at kawalan ng Bayag mga military natin sa Dagat. Hindi Tayo titigilan ng mga Shekwang mga ito dahil alam nila Hindi Tayo papalag. Mabuti pa mag resign na lng kayo.
