A free Taiwan is better for the Philippines. Not just for security but also it needs to safe guard and protect its citizens working and living in Taiwan as OFWs. There are over 150,000 Filipino OFWs in Taiwan.

He speaks American, he said the States, not United States or the US. I am glad that we are repairing this relationship. It is vital to the US and Vital to the Philippines.
I didn't know "American" was a language. He speaks English. All Filipinos start learning English in elementary school.
@@makiavelli6101im pretty he means american as in the choice of vocab and fhe style.
Actually we don’t need the Philippines at all. We choose to honor our historical ties. Philippines provide nothing to US. We don’t need you. So stop complaining about our protection it really doesn’t matter to us all that much. Go fight for yourself if you hate us so much, we’ll leave you alone.

@@ck-bs2msso you're suggesting to leave Filipinos to die in Taiwan instead once the war happens!??
@@ck-bs2msChina is not getting attacked tho?
@@jaysoncayetano2943 Phillipines is?
It’s called deterrence. You win by preventing a war. I think everyone is okay with the status quo in our region except China. There’s too much to lose for the US and players in the region if China succeed in taking Taiwan because of its importance. Taiwan is the largest producer of semiconductor technology. Imagine what would happen to the world if that stops or China take control of it.
Tell me what will happen if China succeeds? Lol. China is already leading in manufacturing, AI, biotechnology, and renewable energy. I don't really see the point of the US meddling with the internal affairs of China and Taiwan and having to involve the Philippines. They will rally behind the banner of being "democratic" again like how they justified the Vietnam War or any wars they've waged and lost in the Middle East.
By deterrence, the first thing comes to mind is a strong economy that can stand on its own 2 legs and one that is as much as possible less vulnerable to economic sanctions from any foreign power and I do not see how the country fits into that description. The better question you should ask is, what happens to the Philippines if China and everything comes that with her were to be removed on short notice? On Harvard's Atlas of Economic Complexities, the Philippines has China as her largest economic partner. When things go from sour to worse, what then?
When things start to spiral out of control and China decides to target the country with economic sanctions because the Philippine government decides to play second fiddle to Uncle Sam , let us hope the Philippines will be ready for that because if you look all around you, practically everything that Filipinos buy and use everyday either have China made components or are made in China. I am emphasizing this because often people miss out the consequences of what the economic war of attrition will mean for the ordinary Juan. If not for the billions of support coming from the West, Ukraine would have already long collapsed because the economic war of attritition has that ability to bring down most countries faster than the wars fought on the battlefields.
To datw, only Russia, despite being the most sanctioned country in the world has been able to survive that because it is a country that has obivously prepared for it.
So if the Philippines truly wamts tp square off with China for a likely economic war of attrition to come, it too has to make preparations and I do not see that happening today not even on the drawing boards of the people in power in the country.
Ignore the strong economy. The more feasible is to invite US than waiting for that strong economy to happen
@@YapsiePresentswell that's how exactly an idiot think😂 no wonder
If it's deterrence, then why it ain't working? 😂 Stop living inside your bubble and start throwing your eyes into the cascade of reality 😂

@@peterpanini96Why would anyone want to immigrate here?
Understand that many Filipinos wanted the Philippines to stand on it's own and distance itself for the US
3 decades later here we are practically cornered by a superpower in Beijing.
Similar to decepticons from transformers. Chinese communists will never leave your country alone while you have something they want and they will do whatever evil things they want if it will get them your land, resources or money
Those Filipinos should have supported a larger military budget, because the AFP budget is literally bread crumbs compared to China. That’s why Philippines is getting bullies, it lacks capabilities.
I’m glad they’re modernizing their forces, but it’s not fast enough.
Change is coming. Philippines is home.

@@flimosnl7817 That was when Philippines was still a strong country, more than 50 years ago. Now the Philippines is a laggard.

No.

You are one of the Filipinos with no balls. If you want to fight go ahead on your own. Why do you need help from other countries, especially the Japanese? Did you study or at least refer to history? What did the Japanese have done to your people? Raped and killed the Filipinas. Also check the real history of how the US betrayed the Philippines and what the0 white men thoughts about the Filipinos? You are not even considered a 3rd class human being. If China were to call upon Russia and N. Korea to work hand in hand, do you think the US and Philippines can survive? The Philippines will just be like another Ukraine or Gaza. Think carefully before you make the next statement.
@@mackelremz3330 Read and understand the history during WW2 before calling in the Japanese. You are really stupid to invite the Japanese.

this would not be a problem if not for the 12 short sighted senators who whimsically rejected the bases at the expense of philippine security and sovereignty.
need to do some name drop here, who are they... FIlipinos must remember these idiots...
BBM actually pushed for the bases. He's better than DU30
They are holding out for pay off. Money.
@laszlo1991Filipinos decide what happens in their country and they decided to let them station troops there so deal with it. Who are you to say what should and shouldn’t happen when it’s a matter of their national security? Your “logic” is flimsy at best, almost like you have an agenda.
Are you insinuating that the Philippines should not have requested help and saved itself when Japan was committing war crimes on its islands during World War 2? Military Bases drive up trade, increase security, and protect the ideals Filipinos withhold similar to those of the States. I am wondering if you would prefer corrupt Chinese ideals overtaking the Philipines' democratic beliefs...
A potential Chinese invasion or blockade of Taiwan will inevitably affect the Luzon Strait and Batanes Islands, both crucial for Philippine national security and international trade. So the Philippines has every right to bolster its military presence in its northern territories and waters with the help of the U.S. and other key allies and partners. The fact that China is reprimanding Filipinos for acting on our own national interest further shows that it has no respect whatsoever for its neighbors, global economy, and the rules-based order, all of which it has benefited and continues to benefit from.
💯
I just hope our economy survives with US help, most of their products are overpriced so if there is conflict in the region I hope you are prepared to spend 8k for a shabby pair of pants and your basic meds sky rocketing in prices, hell you'd need wicker baskets again to haul your rice as the plastic sacks and bags all come from China, most cotton and fibers also comes from China as well as tomatoes, not to mention fertilizers come mostly from China and Russia, if prices go up the roof then be prepared to eat tree bark and grass.

Allied daw. English pa more.
It's better to be with USA than China!
The mutual defense treaty has never been revoked or terminated. By default, Philippines will be involved whether it likes it or not if US is involved in any war with China and Taiwan.
That's not how it works as the name implies mutual defense treaty means if any of the country is attacked the other should come to help but if the case is US helping Taiwan then the Philippines is not obligated to help because the US is not attacked but they are participating in a war by their own volition.the case the mutual defense happens is when either US or the Philippines became the battle ground.
A good example of what I say is the US effort in freeing Afghanistan from the Taliban way back in the early 2000s till 2021 the Philippines never send soldier in that.
@@RashDono When US was bombed by Japan , US entered WW2. It would be inevitable for China not to bomb any US territory in the pacific that carries its large military arsenals to weaken US defense.
@@RashDono American allies will and always be involved whenever a country tries to attack. "That's not how it works", maybe in your world but not in reality.
@@MiniMC546everyone knows that

I remember long ago Filipino are being harassed by Taiwanese due to BFAR incident against poaching in Batanes. Yet Filipinos have a place in our hearts to help Taiwanese...
mutual interest is the answer. pag nakuha sila ng china mas malaki ang problema natin kasi katabi mo na.
Indeed
The past is not the issue here but the present aggression of China. Taiwan is still defending their territorial waters. Do note that when an American navy vessel ran aground in the Sulu Sea, the government and the people immediately took notice and criticized America for being there.
Because Taiwan also identifies as China. They're also claiming ownership of Spratlys. Whatever PRC is claiming in WPS, ROC is doing the same it's just that ROC is more focused on threats from PRC.
@@MiniMC546I mean yes, it sucks finding another countries boat in your waters; yes we probably had a right to use it, but I mean understandable.

Who the hell do you think you are? Are you related to the Taiwanese? They are ethnic Chinese with Chinese blood from China, except they are the running dogs for the US and Japan. Dig into the history of Philippines, see what the Japanese have done to your people. Also see how the US treated your people and how they bought the Philippines from the Spaniards. I understand that there are many Filipinos working aboard, not only in Taiwan. At the end of the day, there wouldn't be any winner, everyone suffers one way or another. A good example to look at is Ukraine and Gaza. So stop instigating and starting WWlll. US won't be there for you forever.

In early 59's or 70's there was a movement in the Philippines called "statehood Philippines". It's a movement pushing Philippines to be a one state of U. S. Most Filipinos approved this idea and approved for a referendum. If it materializes Philippines will be an added star in U. S flag. But politics moves it's hand and extinguish the idea and the movement. Currently if referendum will held it will be a landslide victory of statehood.
Philippine Heroes disagree to that movement. I also disagree. War, God forbid it, may happen but the "statehood Philippines" will never
It won't happen.

That's nice but Filipinos don't get to decide. The United States would never agree. There's just no reason to do so.

A country that needed vast resources will eventually expand, even to the point of violating international law, WPS has the potential of trillion $ of natural resources, a powerful country like China will never respect a small country like Philippines, China will play along but will slowly crawl and grab back all contested areas including Philippine EEZ, this was all proven during the time of the past administration, Duterte even prostituted himself to appease China at the tail end of his presidency he realized he done everything for nothing, he did not realized that a country with big guns only listen to a country with bigger guns, PBBM saw everything, you offer them peace and friendship and it will not be reciprocated in kind, instead it becomes their leverage to push more of their countries interest, the only way to stall or make them pause is to show a minimum force of resistance, PBBM is doing far better than Duterte in dealing with China's expansionist agenda, by allowing the US and risking a war, he is actually preventing a war, the only way to stop a war is to prepare for war.

Democracy stay forever Philippines,support Taiwan for freedom,democracy and Independence,no to communism.
My Dad was stationed at Clark Air Base during the fall of Saigon. He said the was the hardest day he ever worked in his life.
The base itself also had its ups and downs. Negative things that went down such as black marketing and disdain for the locals (lets face it it was the 80’s and the average American can’t tell the difference between a Vietnamese and a Filipino) which is what, story has it, led to upsetting the spirits to the point where they used the volcano to destroy the base. (Alotta spiritual stuff and magic used to exist back then too. Not my words, my relative’s)
But I do think the Philippines would definitely benefit from American Bases tho. As long as the Americans respect Filipinos and their culture, and as long as they’re relationships are good, which they are, I think everything should do just fine.
Well the problem with that is, the volcano didn't just destroy the Base, it really destroyed a large surrounding area to the volcano and killed a lot of Filipinos and damaged their economy a lot... I mean, being just the US single base in the area, versus everyone else in that area being just the regular filippino population of course, A lot more filipinos suffered from that eruption that americans...so that doesn't really make sense

....the WAR are not meant to END bu rather continuous....
I am quite certain that China understands, as I do, that if China wants to conquer Taiwan that they will have to invade and take over the Philippines first… because the Philippines controls the South China Sea / West Philippines Sea and sea control is critical in any invasion of Taiwan.
this is what I'm talking about if taiwan falls Philippines will be the next. too bad a lot of my countrymen doesn't see this.
It has been shown in WW2 that great powers will always want to try and occupy the philippines because of its strategic position. It sucks for filipinos like me but its our reality. At least at least I'd rather let the US take position in the country rather than China.
The Philippines doesn't control anything. Why do you lie to yourself? Insecure? Ignorant? The USA controls the oceans of the planet.
The USA didn’t leave the Philippines the lease ran out and the Philippines didn’t renew the lease.
Austronesian peoples originated in Taiwan. In a sense, the Philippines is protecting its ancestral homeland.
WELCOME!!
The problem with Mutual Defense Treaty is that it was signed during the Cold War era 50's - a time where China was not yet a threat. But now China is aggressive - anyone knows this. Taiwan is either aiming for independence or to reclaim Mainland China as the sole "One true China". Taiwan also claims what China is claiming in the South China Sea. So Filipinos should not just be complacent with Taiwan. I know many Filipinos work in Taiwan and Taiwan contributes to the regional economy and world economy (semiconductors) but at the end of the day, Politics is Politics and Business is Business.
I have seen this power once before
Part of my grandfather's farm was made a USA Airforce runway in WW II. It was returned to us after the war. I will gladly give it back to the USA to keep peace and progress in our islands we called Home. Them China had a chance. They screwed their chance.

I don't really support the US being back in the Philippines after what the US Military did to the Filipino people during their presence but the US is all we've got in trying to stop China's expansion and militarization of the International Waters of the South China Sea and West Philippine Sea. Same goes for Taiwan. There are a lot of Filipinos in Taiwan and China's aggression is threatening their safety so a Free Taiwan is also important in this situation.

it is okay for american bases to be in the philippines when it benefits taiwan...why doesn't taiwan also say that bases are needed in vietnam and in taiwan itself...maybe because back then taiwan was the one bullying the philippines in these seas...
The US-PH MDT only applies if either US or PH is attacked, NOT the US or PH does the attacking first. In case US helps Taiwan, then the US was NOT attacked by China but rather attacked China via the US' strategic ambiguity principle on Taiwan
Likewise, if PH retakes Sabah but without sufficient proof (or US chose to interpret it that way) that it's theirs, then the MDT does NOT apply. But if there's sufficient proof and Malaysia wont budge, then Malaysia is clearly illegally occupying PH lands, and so if PH attacks to retake Sabah, then Malaysian retaliatory attacks triggers MDT
But that's just the law. The reality is different. China will likely do "preemptive attacks" against PH based on the assumption that PH will assist the US, and so clearly MDT applies. China may even preemptively attack the US based on the assumption they will intervene on Taiwan invasion, so MDT clearly applies also
The Philippines is very strategic in terms of location, the US knows this, we helped each other during the Spanish occupation, Japanese invasion and now with China. Due to the lack of resources, the Phililpines was not able to respond quickly to the growing bases in the west PH, i wish US could have deployed earlier so that the enemy cannot have the upper hand. Filipinos can also speak English well, even local fishermen so communication on the base and outside wont be a problem
Stupid move.. western military presence should not be in Asia

Philippines is a strong nation and country. By strategic position its excellent. It smiled in many face of death since the beginning of time. Laughing at campfire and coffee in its hand before kissing death. Literal. That country and people were Molded by pain, tragedy, slavery, and oppression without any fault. It fought and won with nothing in all wars. It helped many nations without asking in return. Put those in mind fighting with outnumbered and stolen weapons from the strongest opponent, yes it fought with no weapons and didnt surrender. it prevailed and won by sheer will and courage. Give it or teach it how to play with hightech and toys of destruction. Its going to be a perfect professional at its job. Picture this.... Many witness filipino nurses, doctors, engineers, inventors, singers etc, but have they seen filipinos work with death? . How good are they and harworking. Not a joke. Death is no longer to be feared off because weakness has left its core body long time ago. God and tradition are its only guidelines and weakness. Those filipinos smile means they overcome alot even fear. In reality its a nation built by death, courage and sacrifice. Many strongest race and conquerors in history tried and they all will tell the same thing... Its better to have it as a friend than an enemy
