- As the two superpowers compete for dominance in the Pacific, Dena Takruri asks Filipinos how they feel being caught in the middle. Who is the bigger threat to the Philippines: the U.S. or China?
As a filipino, the biggest threat to me is just my fellow filipino lol
specially the corrupt ones
Indeed
You may have a point, it’s the sheeples are clueless what’s really going on behind the scenes and believe into that SCAMDEMIC and don’t do independent research because you’ll be accused as conspiracy. They believe the MSM LIES.
For real
Well we got that in common. My greatest threat is other Americans
Make sure you watch part 1 where Dena explores what’s at stake for this island nation if the two superpowers go to war czcams.com/video/hWw6Ua4wyMs/video.html
US imperialist ... Making philippines a war zone
Chicharon is a threat
US back home
US go back home to your own country and let us Filipinos settle our issues with China.
Us destroyed the phillioines and colonized and enslaved filipino people while denying them citizenship they were promised and deserve
the girl saying US is a biggest treat is a half chinese lol
Hahahaha 😂
She doesn't have a point,the us has spread more death and destruction than any other nation today
Joe Biden hardly knows what day it is - let alone know where the Philippines is on a map.
Obviously.

3:55 "we get to speak english"
thats one of the most sad and pathetic thing i ever hear
Me too, even though I'm Chinese. It seems that the sovereignty of all countries and nations has nothing to do with him.
i believe he just missspoke, what he meant was that we got to be better at speaking english because of the colonization, and that's why the Koreans, Japanese, Chinese and others would come here to study and improve their english. just compare some professionals on other country get them to talk in english with our own sidewalk vendors who haven't been at school at all. at some countries you can't ask some pedestrians in english, they'd reply to you with their local language/dialect.
@@makinaindustria if being able to speaking ur colonizer master's language is a sign pride for u then u r truly lost
I'm Filipino and I like the fact that you let them speak in their comfortable language. Thank you for doing this.
People should talk peace instead of war. War is insane. The Philippine people are wonderful people. The Chinese are wonderful people.
The power hungry leaders are the problem.
Why is it some of the Filipino ppl feel the U.S being there is bad when not also the Philippines president wanted U.S troops in the country and more of them, But China is constantly encroaching on Filipino territory to the point they're claiming some of it as Chinese territory?!?
@@scinusa
You are fully right about that.
Insane political, financial and industrial leaders are the real criminals. Dont listen to them, they are allways lying, corrupt and criminal.
Good luck trying to speak "mother tongue" if the Communist Chinese occupied the Philippines 😂😂😂
@@scinusathe Philippines should give its island to China rather than being a nuisance. That's the only way to peace. It doesn't have any say in China sea
Hundreds of thousands of Filipinos murdered by the US. The dude with a colonial mentality - "Its worth it because we can speak English".
The Philippines needs to develop its self respect if its to move forward.

Is NOT learning English a form of self-respect? Your comment is just a bunch of whining and not really offering any solution.
I'm not surprised that the interviewees from Olongapo have informed opinions. They're experiencing it first-hand.
It's the Philippines that has a China problem, not the USA. So stop blaming us for your China issues. If we were to go to war with China, it's because of the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, and all you useless nations can't defend yourselves.
Philippines should close all foreign military bases and kick out all foreign troops and welcomes all opportunities of foreign trades.
who can protect these activities? your government??
And allow China to continue the aggression until they occupy Palawan?
Oh my goodness we don't want to be dragged into anyone's war. We've had enough. We are peaceful people.
if china takes taiwan and starts a war do you think they will leave you alone or do you think they will go island hopping like japan did in ww2
❤❤❤❤this is war kaya sumanib na kayu sa mga amekikano para di kayu patayin nang china gaya nang pinagbili ang organ ninyo lol
china will not stop at invading taiwan. they will also invade the philippines given the chance.
Peaceful people? HAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA GOOD ONE! HAHAHAHA
its not anyones war its our WAR were lucky that US is defending us
Every one of them has a point.
This issue is becoming so divisive to us Filipinos who have nothing to do with "their" war in the first place.
We have our own self determination, said the lady. And I agree.
To the superpowers, we are just a battlefield -- a Normandy, or a Gettysburg or a Stalingrad -- a tiny piece in the overall picture.
To China, we are just a buffer zone.
To America, we are an insurance of their Pacific power.
But to us, this is it... Our livelihood, our families, our lives, everything that matters to us... This is it.
...and they're threatening at each other above our heads as if we're insignificant.
...as if we're just pawns.
WOW VERY DANGEROUS SIR! 😠😠I WILL NEVER GO TO PHILIPPHINES VERY POOR PLACE! 😠BUT THIS WHY IM SO LUCKY LIVE IN SUPER INDIA THE CLEANEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 🇮🇳🤗 , WE NEVER SCAM!

A key difference between the U.S. and China is that the U.S. voluntarily gave back sovereignty to the Filipinos. China has no such proven history of extending the olive branch so to speak.

Has China invaded and colonized Philippines? What sovereignty to back to Philippines? China doesn't interfere into other countries internal affairs unlike US. USA is a war monger. Do you know that USA means United Satan of America?
The thing is Philippines actually tried pivoting from US to China. Our former president was openly campaigning for a shift from US to China-Russia Alliance.
His administration also prioritized Belt and Road Initiative projects. China just got more bold in their incursion. They used this opportunity to survey possible resources and strategic locations. They put structures near our military bases. They even found possible locations for oil drilling operations. Also there's a market in China for rare, endangered corals. This causes them to dredge coral reefs, destroying the Aquatic biodiversity in the area. We found out the hard way that the more we listen to them, the more they will intrude. and they never considered peace and cooperation.
The Philippines is just too strategic of a location, it has raw materials as well. A mouth-watering treat for any burgeoning power.
The Spanish Empire knew this.
The British Empire knew this
The United States knew this.
The Japanese Empire knew this.
The Islamic State knew this
And now China.
That president is a coward traitor
Foreign Direct Investment dropped during Duterte and has never recovered. That pivot to China scared foreign companies may prove fatal. Only money you see know are rich Chinese and crime organisations.
Thank you for interviewing the people of Olongapo city. They know what's going on. Mabuhay ang Zambales! 🇵🇭
‘’ It may be dangerous to be American's enemy, but to be American's friend is fatal" ---Secretary of State USA，Henry Kissinger, Nov 1968
It's really more about how powerful you are. If you are a strong friend they will weaken you politically and economically, if you are a weak friend they setup a puppet government and then use you to fight a stronger enemy. If you are a weak enemy you will get bombed or invaded or there will be a coup and you will become a weak friend, If you are a strong enemy they will either have their weak friend fight you or fight one of your weak friends but they won't fight you directly.

I think they should change the question...
"Which is the country that will provoke the other the most...
Do they send warships to China near their territory more than 11 thousand kilometers away or is it China that sends warships more than 11 thousand kilometers away?
Of course, the US is the far greater threat . . . now give me my green card!
Yea sure, except you are forgetting the factor being "if China has the capability to do so". China sent a fleet pass Japan's Tsugaru Strait, which is between Japan main island and Hokkaido, during covid after Japan set some restrictive policies against China. Tsugaru Strait is deemed as national waters only because Japan wanted to give convenience to commercial convoys so they pulled back borders of their territorial waters, and here comes China driving their navy fleet through. What a great way to exploit other people's kindness, and proves China would not hesitate to provoke other nations in their waters if possessing the capability.
Also, who is the one claiming West Philippines Sea is their territory on the basis of a map from a Dynasty they overthrew, is it the US claiming that?
@@user-2c5Goi0fr8id-m you get 500 social credits from the CCP.
@@DKBZA It's on the news bro, both in CN and JP. CN news even brags about it and their foreign spokesman answered questions about it with some whataboutism just like what you are doing here, he did not say they are not provoking, but instead "We can see some country is the actual aggressor here". I read Chinese and I see all the war mongering articles put out on Global Times and Xinhua News ok? That's why I see far more aggression from China because their state news head editor says things like "If we lose a war, we gonna nuke the Earth''s core and take the world with us" and all the comments bellow praises this kind of speech ok? And there was a trend for pubs throwing parties celebrating assassination of former JP prime minister.
Also, you should really read through my words or go see a map, passing Tsugaru Strait is not "near Japan", it's literally crossing through the middle. it's like driving into Sulu sea of the Philippines level.
You are the one that's disinformed, stop making yourself look foolish defending a foreign government feeding hate against any democratic country to their people. Outwardly they say they are implementing democracy in their own own way, while interiorly they just teach kids that they must obey the party and the Chairman.

The relationship between China and the Philippines was relatively good before, but since their current President took office, the times have suddenly changed.
China is a bully and wants to seize our territories that used to be the fishing grounds of our fishermen and especially when China found out that there is a lot of oil in the WPS, so their claims intensified and their behavior worsened.
Back in the day they didn't occupy the territories of other countries but when they got rich they started grabbing territory.
The previous president was a traitor. He prioritized China and not the country. One incident was that a Chinese ship sank a PH civilian fishing vessel and instead of offering aid to the fishermen, appeased China instead.
learn more about history and fact， my friends. Don't be fooled by your corruption president and propaganda by USA or Aus, Japan. China has never invade Philippine, but USA, Japan did the most recently.
Marcos only claim it after oils was found , chinese - KMT station navy their to protect their under belly- meaning strategic value rather then oils
@@LawasSarawak The Spratly group of islands or WPS was not claimed by us but that belonged to the Philippines since before and many proofs were shown in the arbitration that the WPS or Spratly group of islands is part of the Philippines more than 100 maps were shown.
So our representatives were there at the arbitration in the Hague and proved our real historical claim.
You Communist Chinese where were you when you were called arbitrarily. Why aren't you there? Because you know that you have no proof and your 9 dashline was just made up by you and has no basis.
However, the historical claim is not accepted nowadays, especially your fake claim of 9 dash lines.
What exists today is the UNCLOS signed by countries and decided by countries so that there is no abuse like yours.
@@LawasSarawak Not only the WPS is invalid China's claim but the entire SCS is invalid because their claim of dashline or 9 dashline according to their own drawing on their map is not accepted.
According to them that their drawn 9 dashline is a proof that China owns the entire SCS including the WPS.
If the dashlines are the basis of the territory or claim, does that mean that the entire Gulf of Mexico can also be drawn by Mexico along with the EEZ of the US?
Does that mean India can also draw a dashline in the Indian Ocean and claim it?
And even the Arabian Sea can be drawn with a dash line and claimed by the Arabs?
Even the entire Persian Gulf can be drawn as a dash line to be claimed by Iran?
None of them made such a dashline because they knew how far they covered and especially now that all countries have to comply with international law or UNCLOS
Asking ordinary citizens is close to being pointless, most of them don't understand what's really going on. Asking politicians isn't a complete different case as well, most of them lie. This is an odd point in history where the people who knew are held by their throats or voluntarily silence themselves; the people who don't know kept shooting breezes and are, unfortunately, often believed.
True
how can you say “ordinary citizens don’t understand what’s really going on” when they’re the people who actually feel and go through the brunt of the heightened military presence in their country? just because they may not have nuanced opinions, they know what they’re going through. people aren’t stupid
@@remisu5917 You're a perfect example. You haven't carefully read what I wrote and here you're putting words to my mouth.
The motivation that a civilian would typically take in deciding what behavior to display is generally harnessed towards what they feel or experience. This seems very harmless and reasonable at first glance, however this is the same reason why they're unable to see the bigger picture. Let's take the Philippine history for example. We've been enslaved in our own motherland for 300+ years because our ancestors were blinded by the cross, mirrors, clothing etc that the "friendly" Spaniards has to offer.. making them unable to see real intentions of these conquistadors. And if that alone doesn't prove that there are people who will dig their own grave, I don't know what will.
The most intellectual comment. Sound head. May Allah guides you brother ❤️
Ordinary citizens like me wont budge more on the issues because its too complex to solve. The existing UNCLOS law that supposedly protect the country is not absolute and any powerful member like China can tend to ignore its ruling. As result even if China won't recognize it does big economies put sanctions to China? The reality is that they tend to ignore the win of the Philippines and China continue to claim the WPH and big economies continue to do business with China.
The only possible definite solution is that we make Philippines super rich, technologically advance and deterrence capable military to China and we cannot do that if we cannot make it to advance economy and technologically advance. In fact the country is infested with social issues and environment sustainability issues that its even harder for the country to advance and even compete with its faster advancing neighbors.
To not to exhaust yourself, you can join them, or join an ally, join protest on streets hoping for a miracle or watch their bidding.
best question to ask filipino is if your given a chance to immigrate and be given a citizenship status which country will you choose china or the usa
good point!!
Idiot! How does that relate to the geopolitical issues in which the Philippines is already involved in?
China doesn't accept immigrants😅
many filipinos immigrate to the us. many of them are even in the us military. im half filipino half american and im in the navy.
That's foolish, you are asking people to choose between poop and turd.
The biggest threat to the Philippines, south east Asia or even the entire world. Is not these two countries by themselves. It’s if these two powers agree, see eye to eye and choose to have full cooperation militarily and economically.
Allies and enemies change often. Human history proves this.
name one country that China has invaded in the past 20 years.
the problem is neither of this powers are backing down, both greedy and ambitious and scared to be replaced as superpowers. 😅 so this rivalry will continue.
When two elephants fight, small animals around them suffers
I think what we Filipinos need to accept and understand is that either ways there is no safe zone for us between the two Behemoths. There shouldn't be an option in the first place. Either way we will be endangered if one of the two big country decides to exert their power towards us. For me the best approach is to see the present situation of each country in terms of leadership, action towards other foreign countries, and lastly if they are following through actions. Historical evidences shouldn't even be a basis that's like saying we shouldn't trust Mongolia for having Genghis Khan as their ancestor, or Rome because of Julius Ceasar or Germans for having Adolf Hitler. Each era have different circumstances, have different sets of world leader and different world order and the now is no more than different. The real threat is an evil person to hold that kind of power sooner or later. We all just want a safer and peaceful world.
I'm in the US and I agree this shouldn't be a choice in the first place, I hope nothing happens. Best thing I can say is would it be better having an ally with a country that changes their leaders regularly or a country with one man that cracks down on people with blank sheets of paper?
@tarkov666 I'm asian American and U.S is a better ally than anyone else in the world.
How many countries have been living under the care and support of the U.S? And see how Japan, South Korea has grown?
South korea is one of America's most supportive ally
America joining in the Korean War and training and helping south korea with all the U.S was capable of helping them.
@koreancowboy42 tell that to Libya and rest of the countries ravaged by wars caused by the US
@@yanakal652 The war have little to do with how bad the country turn out. There is deeper issues within Libya. It just waiting for someone to crack it then it rushing out like river. every country going through phases. phase 1 - country with no power, stay silence and don't bother no one and let things flow as it is. phase 2- the moment they gain power, they start to insert control and eventually lead to war. phase 3 - they have the power for so long they stay chill and only apply power when it benefit them. these phases apply both to nation to nation and/or within the country. all of these phases is like a boy growing up wants to dominate the other boys. as these boys age, they become more chill and go with the flow.
This is a misleading media report, ask Mexicans if China or the US is more of a threat to them. The so-called geopolitics, of course, is that neighboring countries are more likely to create a sense of psychological deterrence. The correct comparison is to ask whether the threat of China attacking the Philippines because of the South China Sea dispute is greater, or whether the United States illegally intervenes in the Taiwan Strait dispute and uses the Philippine base to attack China, causing the Philippines to be attacked by China. The threat is greater.
Finally someone with a brain here! The threat of China trying to own and monopolize the entire South China Sea is much greater! All of the Asian pacific countries will suffer greatly if China get's their way. Look at what they're doing already by overfishing the seas...pure greed. None of that will be shared to any other country besides China and everyone else will become poorer because of it.
@crosscrusader the U.S is only a threat due to bad presidential and government officials, its soldiers and civilians are innocent.
The soldiers their good people and have to live through rough battles
你是智慧的，Think rationally and logically
Obviously china taking Taiwan and control of SC sea is bad for all nations around it
Will US consult the Philippines government before starting a war with China using base in Philippines . If so, will US respect Philippines decision if Philippines govt say NO
its the Philippine goverment that wanted them there
Philippines has a treaty if any of two countries go to war they are obligated to support each other
US will never ever respect its colony Philippines. It will do whatever it likes. Poor filipinos will be pawn just like Ukrainians. Philippines is militarily occupied by US. It is still a colony of US. It will be destroyed just like Ukrain😢 Advance RIP to poor filipinos. Prepare yourself to die or become refugees in other countries
The people who commented that the Philippines will be caught in the middle know nothing. The only thing that shields the Philippines from Chinese attack is the Philippines' alliance with the US. And if China has taken Taiwan, the Philippines will have overlapping territory with China and it will only justify some of the Chinese claims in the region
Philipines become another serf. No say, no influence & no choice. Just cannon fodder
This just shows that a lot of Filipinos dont really have the knowledge and understanding of the geopolitical issues which unfortunately the political personalities are taking advantage of their ignorance.
Listening to the bought-and-paid-for biased media (CNN, GMA7, ABS, CBN2) is a conscious choice by the Government to keep the population misinformed and ignorant to the geopolitical reality. Many have been told that Ukraine is winning the war, yet the opposite is true!
it’s honestly disgusting how this video is portrayed as pro china propaganda

Better a Philippines than a Philippines state of China. Better to be call Philippino than Philippino Chinese ( like Tibet to Tibet Chinese)
@@aqwaqw9990 China never conquered Philippines. They could have if they wanted to when they had the strongest navy in the world in the 1400s. Why do you think that they'd do it now? Besides, Tibet has already been fully incorporated into China's Qing Dynasty some 400 years ago. It was also part of the Yuan dynasty 700+ years ago. Yet you still think that Tibet is a separate country? At least learn the history first.
And while we're at this. Why don't you speak for the Kingdom of Hawaii, which got swallowed by the US just 100 years ago?
@hyeung1 China taking Tibet = "incorporated", US taking Hawaii = "Swallowed" pretty bais for you to say that. Is the US currently stealing the Philippines Island and stealing its resources? If I remember correctly, it's China
@hyeung1 So because Tibet was a part of the Qing Dynasty ( which no longer exists), it's apporate to say China belonged to Mongolia 800 years ago since it was a The mongal Empire
@@hyeung1they haven't, but when the do it's game over, look at Tibet an uyghur put in camps and getting sterilized.
It's ok to be against war but it is never an assurance to prevention but rather the Filipino people must be more aware. Whether we like it or not, conflicts will happen in this region. History can tell. The Philippines' geographic location is one reason why such conflict is likely unavoidable.
If this is how the Filipino people feel, then we should pull our troops back home and let whatever happens happen, stay out of it.
Here are my takes in this issues:
1. We don't really mind who will rule the world in the future. We all know that this war is all because of world dominance.
2. If China will just be friendly to us Filipinos and honor our claims which is just within our natural territory? We will be surely closer to Chinese people. If China will just avoid aggression and give us what we claimed? We might end up helping the Chinese to secure their intentions.
3. We (Filipinos) all know that China need this so called 'South China Sea". They need it for trades amd homeland security. They need to dominate this sea inorder to secure their future route. But, they don't need to be aggressive and water Canon or chase our small fisherman's boats just to impose their dominance.
4. I my self have my mainland Chinese blood runs through my vain (my great-grandfather was a migrant during China's great famine). But if China will forcefully take what is closer to us, or what is rightfully to us? I definitely welling to die for my country.
5. We don't need American military presence in our land. We Filipinos always have a chilling impressions regarding having American military base AGAIN in our country. If China read and study our history? We kicked out American bases because we don't really need them. But if China will continue these aggressively? China should know (if they study Phils war history) that despite our short comings regarding armaments and manpower? We Filipinos don't give up. We will fight tell the end, we always have. Spain 333yrs, US for decades, Japan despite superior and more advanced. We can drag China down economy if war will happens, yes we might suffer more, but definitely China economy will never be the sam again eafter this war.
Conclusions:
Look, we all know that in order for China to take the number 1 superpower from US is either to go to war? Or to wait till they surpass US economy and world dominance. With these? China should avoid bullying other smaller nations just to reiterate their dominance. China should increase their deplomatic ties especially with their neighboring countries. For sure Philippines will be the first nation to back them up. For the reasons that we have more Chinese mixed blood than any Western world. We have the oldest China town. With that said. May we all live in peace and prosperity and be guided with grace by our ancestors and may God bless us with his holy wisdom. Salamat po!
You stopped fighting the USA in 1902 and asked for independence
the world don't work that way. when you are weak you will have to pick side to help you maintenance the right of your spot. do you think if the us or any European nation won't step in, china will stop? be realistic. china won't stop. the reason china stop/slow down is due to the us backing Philippine.
If anyone cares to truly look into the history of both countries they will see that America loves war and China loves business. Both are in it for their own self interest which makes both of them bad for the Philippines, but America's roots of being abusive to the rights of other countries where there are people of color stands out like a sore thumb. In Africa America backed the Apartheid regime, and they come and do things to a country which is not legal for them to do in their country on purpose knowing the damage they are causing to the ecosystem. Look at what the US did to South America as they just covered up the oil with dirt and said , "We cleaned it up." But one thing is clear is America will go to war on false pretenses and then after they get what they want leave the people to fend for themselves knowing that they totally disarmed those people and somehow the US sleeps well at night.

Vietnam is one of China's victims of their brutal conquests and atrocities, stop making lies because the world knows all your atrocities, The 1967 mass killing in Dao County, known as the Dao County Massacre, was 66 days of mass destruction in Hunan Province, China, lasting from August 13 to October 17, 1967. It resulted in 4,519 dead, of whom 4,193 were killed outright and 326 were forced to commit suicide., Beginning with the Red August of Beijing, massacres took place nationwide, including the Guangxi Massacre, in which massive cannibalism also occurred; the Inner Mongolia incident; the Guangdong Massacre; the Yunnan Massacres; and the Hunan Massacres. Almost 90,000 people were counted as dead or missing and presumed dead in the final official Chinese government assessment; the officially reported total killed included more than 5,300 children, the bulk of them students attending classes. They were whipping, flogging, hard labour, exile and capital punishment. Death was still the ultimate price to pay, but gone were the cruel and unusual ways to die. However, Mao's government was responsible for vast numbers of deaths, with estimates ranging from 40 to 80 million victims due to starvation, persecution, prison labour, and mass executions, which drew criticism for being considered totalitarian rule. Death toll. The excess mortality associated with the famine has been estimated by former CCP officials and international experts, with most giving a number in the range of 15-55 million deaths.
What was the deadliest famine in history?
Great Leap Forward
The 'Great Leap Forward'-famine in China from 1959-61 was the single largest famine in history in terms of absolute numbers of deaths. Excess mortality estimates vary hugely, but based on our midpoint estimates, it cost more than double the number of lives than any other famine.

Younger Filipinos believe China is a bigger threat than the US is the result of social media, older generation normally talk from historical and experience, while younger generation consume social media more and there are overwhelming anti-China contents up there. The only dispute between China and the Filipin are the island disputes, this can be resolved by diplomatic means, however the moment Filipinos allow the US to get involved in the matter everything becomes messy and may even lead to war.

Filipinos fought hard against colonizers. You don't know any Philippine history at all why spread misinformation? Filipinos fought hard at the beginning of Lapu-lapu until Bonifacio and Rizal. A lot of documented plan to overthrow Spanish colonizers and even 200,000 filipinos died in Filipino-American war. Unlike China, Philippines didn't have the chance in continuing most of its pre-colonial traditional practices because Spaniards erased most of it. Filipinos are killed once Spaniards knew they are betraying Spain. Unlike the British, Dutch, Japanese colonizers, once Spaniards see a filipino doing non-Spanish tradition, they'll execute that person.

I am most impressed by the good sense of Filipinos. They are not pledging "iron clad" allegiance to either side. They also know their history, as opposed to blind ignorance.
There is no free lunch. The US is not coming to protect the Philippines because it loves the country and its people. Far from it. It wasn't too long ago, the US was a staunch supporter of Ferdinand Marcos, a well-known dictator who ruled the Philippines ruthlessly. Now his son is back in power, and promised to be different to his father. Well, does the old saying "like father, like son" still work??
The Philippines was under the US's radar for some time thanks to ex-President Rodrigo Duterte who saw right through the US, and its true intents when it comes with gifts and warships. Now Ferdinand Marco's son is in charge, and he is warming up to the Americans once again, like his father. The US is worried about China. It is busy establishing alliances of military pacts like the AUKUS and the QUAD. India is the new best friend of the US now. Not too long ago, PM Modi was banned from entering the US for human rights violations. That is the degree how quickly the US prepares to turn around when it suits it, or when it can use it.
Like Ukraine, the presence of US influence hasn't done the country any good. I just hope that the nice, gentle Filipinos won't suffer the same fate as the Ukrainians now endure...deaths and destruction.
The US didn't have any bases in Ukraine. If it did, the Russian invasion would never of happened. Filipinos can absolutely choose if they want Americans in their country, but given recent history I think Ukraine would have been very happy to accept direct US defense. Unless we believe China is friendly.

Bingo!
The lady in the last part has contradicted her prior statements lol.😂
I remember in the late 80's during my elementary years. Our teachers would be talking to us about the danger of an imperialist America and how a potential war with the USSR would catch us between these two great powers.
Now instead of the defunct USSR, it is with China. That is also how most of these Filipinos think because of the effect of leftist teachers espousing their ideology.
The difference with China and the USSR is that we have an actual dispute with China that can turn violent. Even without the USA, and especially without them, we are actually in a very disadvantaged position against our stance against China.
The US has 800+ military bases around the world. China has only 1. It is the US we should be worried about. The US has been at war 93% of the time - 227 out of 245 years - since its founding in 1776. i.e. the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth.
History teaches us lessons about how it’s easier to blame others than blame ourselves.
The greatest danger we face today is not coming from China.
Yet China has killed more people in the past 100 years than Americans independence 🤷♂️.. there might not be any US base in Philippine, had china stop threatening Philippine independence
Precisely the opposite conclusion should be reached. The US has so many bases all over the world and the vast majority of these places are peaceful. In fact, its the places where there is no US military presence that are dangerous. Would you vacation in Somalia over Djibouti, North Korea over South Korea, China over Japan, Russia over Romania?
Nobody wants chyna, simple
Those bases are there because they alllies.. china and Russia aswell have bases..infact china purchased lands on US soil near military bases.china also put police stations in other countries which is a national security threat
China will just buy your country with debt trap
None of this would have happened if only china respects the borders and territories of its neighbors
Tell me how China doesn't respect the border, those islands belong to China, Vietnam and Philippines just don't have historical proofs.
Thats true, that is why I don't trust China! Filipinos should not be trusting this communist country! What really China wants is pushing aside the Philippines and take over the West Philippine Sea. I hope these protestors that against the EDCA can depend on their own sovereignty. Otherwise, it's just annoying protesting with nothing but their own useless mindset.
Exactly
Filipinos who ignores that fact can go to hell
they are doing it to give america a reason to go here and "defend" us... both CHINA and USA are aware that they have so much to lose from a war happening in their OWN countries and i think they both agreed behind the scenes to have philippines as their BATTLEFIELD

Filipino-American here. I’m find the opinions of all the interviewees interesting. Yes, the U.S. colonized the Philippines, but it eventually game the Filipinos their independence. On another note, which I didn’t hear discussed… it’s not like the U.S. has never helped the Philippines militarily. My grandmother was in her 20’s during WWII and witnessed the hell enacted by the Japanese at that time. The U.S. did their best to help the Filipinos at that time. Obviously the U.S. was also fighting for its self interest at the time (they needed to systematically remove the Japanese from basically every island it captured at that time in order to win the war), but it’s not like the U.S. didn’t help the Philippines. A lot of U.S. aid paid for the reconstruction of the Philippines after that war. This of course is all history, but if we’re for going to talk about the bad things the U.S. did, we should also remember some of the good as well. Mabuhay!
USA is not a problem for Filipinos. China as a neighbor is a problem.
China claims west philippine sea as theirs. China harasses our fishermen at sea.
Philippines already won, in Hague international court, that west philippine sea is ours legally.
That is why we call it west philippine sea. My lawyer friend is one of the lawyers who won that legal battle of sea territory in Hague for Philippines.
How can any philippine boat enjoy the sea on that disputed area?
To this day, chinese coast guards follow our boats in that area.
Typical Filipinos hate what China does to our fishermen.
Dont listen to anti-american sentiments. Majority here boils blood over the sea territory with china
the simple answer is the south china sea already under chinese domain before any state even exist in that area.

In between the US and China, the best way to judge which one bring more peace and stability, is to wait for a cease fire agreement reached between Ukraine and Russia, probably by end of this year or before US election. By then we will see which country will be the biggest contributor to the rebuilding of Ukraine. Remember earlier this year, which country objected the cease fire proposal?
Ukraine just objected peace proposals twice.
@@solidpas761 Nope. Ukraine rejected the proposals in the negotiations with Russia last year. I am referring to the 12-points cease fire proposals by China. Zelensky personally told Xi that he welcomes China's efforts in peaceful solutions.

The Chinese military’s incursions into Philippines waters affecting Filipino fisherman, is not only increasing but also intensifying. That’s why the Philippine government (whom the Filipinos voted for at 60%) invited US military presence in the Philippines. Chinese military bullying of the Philippines, made even former President Duterte back track on his friendship with China to ask for US help. During the US presence in Subic and Clark, American troops contributed between 1.7-3% of the Philippines GNP. Subic naval based generated $220 million dollars into the local economy, providing jobs for 40,000 Filipinos. More than 150,000 people depended on income from the naval base
Yes and inspite of the economic benefit, the oridnary philipino hated the americans. The same is true in Okinawa, where every year ~10,000 Okinawans demonstrate for the removal of the US military. What's interesting is that even with US propaganda talking all the time about China invading Taiwan, the Okinawans still demonstrated every year to get the US military bases out.
There's a reason for this, when the US military is there in large numbers they treat the locals like dirt. Everytime decade after decade. We're the imperial empire of USA, everyone is afraid of our miitary. This is what every US soldier/sailor is taught and that's part of the reason they treat the locals like dirt.
Let's not kid ourselves. The Philippines has been a willing participant for the American noose around China and Russia for decades. It's a willing vassal to choke China's trade should the US choose to contain China with its unilateral assumption that the US owns every ocean and every market. So yeah, China pushes and encroaches to give itself a wide margin and buffer zone. The Philippines and the SCS is no different than Ukraine.

Yes,the Philippines should stay neutral with China as a close neighbour. Trade with China and learn to have peaceful coexistence with China. With more dialogue with China under Asean countries umbrella, I think China will agree to give concession to the Philippines and Asean countries. On condition, the US and its allies stay out of the South China Seas and are not involved in the Asean internal affairs.
