Do you think the Philippine Military is strong? Let us know down below!
Because of USA..
@@ginopuruganan8929 True but also other countries,arms trade and also just self development and high budgets for the military here in the Philippines
@ginopuruganan8929 i agree with you, trading with other countries and training with them helps Philippines advance in their military defense. Sad thing is, corrupt politicians just want money from the budget.
@@APATHETHIC Both Yes and No for me. Yes cause of the Corruption and diverting of funds which is for the military to other sectors and No since if you look at the budget its pretty damn high
not yet. but according to the modernization program, Philippines are wanting to have a proper capable military. slowly they are upgrading. most air asset are being modernize and a planning to acquire proper fighter jet. Also area access denial equipment are being purchase from brahmos missiles system to spyder air defense system. Navy are also modernizing, Philippine intetnt to have submarine fleet and modern surface vessel are all in negotiation. Remember Philippines have suffered from a long period of insurgency and are now shifting focus from internal defense to external defense. We the Filipino are now experiencing an unprecedent military budget increase from what we are used to. again slowly, the Philippines are on it's way to have a credible modern military force at least for defending it's sovereignty. All of this are possible because of the economic growth of the Philippines which proven in the past year, also thru aids and grants given to us by our ally and other like-minded nations such as south korea, japan and india.
As a reserve, worst comes to worst. I would fly back to The Philippines to defend and serve the country.
Wheres the high tech weapons?

With tensions in the West Philippine Sea & the threat of a Chinese invasion in Taiwan, our Military needs all the support from its country. War will soon be upon us & we need them now more than ever. A salute to our brave soldiers! God bless the AFP! Viva Filipinas! 🇵🇭
I've always believe our dedicated, professional, strong Armed Forces of the Philippines. You are ready to protect our government, our country, and the Filipinos.
Mabuhay po kayong lahat.
Then stop begging for help and take your Filipina pride and shove it
Mabuhay kayong lahat mga Armed Forces.of the Philippines. God bless you all.
Philippines NO.1.
From WW2 equipment to modern equipment in just a decade is quite impressive and the fact that their modernization is still on going up to 2033
Modern equipment?.
If other countries did not give the Philippines a single armament , they'd have sling shots.

The Philippines may not have the quantity, but they truly have the quality, expertness, and discipline.
Edit: It’s questionable, though.
National pride is not realistic as a gauge of quality, it will be overrun quickly. I say that from QC, NCR and like Philippines, but I am former US military and PH is a 2 on a 1-10.
@@2000ViperGTSsubscribe Well that is true, can’t deny that.
Quality and expertness that can't beat the MILF,NPA and others. Therefore can't win any war. A paper crab.

Love Philippines! From UAE.
The Philippines needs to have its own means in developing tanks, ships, and planes instead of acquring it from other countries. Through self-reliance, we can be free from the influence of other countries and at the same time, open more jobs to the locals in which it will bolster the economy. Two birds, one stone.
No meed for tank modern warfare is more on air assets and warship Philippines is building 300 million dollar shipyard in CEBU to create bigger warship
What use are tanks in rain forest?
Do you know that is the dream of any country in the world. Even China can’t even do that. China won’t even want to spend money on research and development on weapons. Stealing much more easier and safer ( money and personnel)

@@kaku994 I am just curious 🧐
Every province and towns have their own military bases so the country is not isolated from security resources plus difficult terrains are a challenge to conquer so good luck for those who want to come in!!!
They are welcome to try 😂😂😂
The Philippine military is strong based on the skills of the soldiers. Because Filipinos adapt on what they have and just need to make the job done. I hope the government can make the country great in the future without relying on foreign countries and became a self reliant country.
The government doesn't care 😂about the people

@@jtiv4972Because most of the NPA are in government positions like in Congress and Senates,as well Mayors,especially in the Countryside,so how can you defeat them???

@@schoemannhong.
another thing to consider are the thousands of Filipinos who served or currently serving in the US Military. Valuable expertise and experience you can only attained while fighting for the USA. Best decision the Philippines ever did was to allow the US bases back in the country. No one dares to invade the Philippines as long as it has a Mutual Defense Pact with the USA.
No one was going to invade pH to begin with. There's nothing there except poverty and disease and corruption and problems.
As for the disputed islands, USA has never recognized ph claims, and has never sailed warships with ph coastguard or military ships to help them regain their islands or advance their claims or anything.
So sure, good deal I guess if you expected nothing in return for those bases.
That wasn't a deal. That was Bb marcos having no choice but to do what usa told him since they control billions of his corrupt families money in USA and they have charges having over his head right now and for the next few years. They delayed his case just so they can hang it over his head for his whole presidency.

I think, our ancestors protected our country using low-end firepower equipment against US and Japan and yet we still won our battles. The Korean war against China that our troops have joined before was also won even if the number of our troops are significantly smaller than China. War is all about strategy and determination and courage regardless of advancement of weapons and arms equipment. I believe that our military will win against any evil who wants to invade our territory. We never initiates any war. We are only fighting to help and most importantly, TO PROTECT AND DEFEND.
You didn't win anything. You lost and got colonized by everyone for centuries. Ph should not be in Korea even, it was a vassal state army under USA at the time and today it still is. Sand as sk and Japan.
You can't even defend against your own home grown corruption, let alone foreign attacks. They don't need to invade when they own your president and control billions of his money and have charges hanging over his head in USA. They just install puppet dictators like Marcos family and other families to do their bidding for them.
I mean it was usa who invaded, colonized, killed and raped 500,000 Pinoys, and yet now pinoy loves them and look at them as their best friend when they never left with their military and ph has never gotten over its colonization, both in reality and mentally. Most filo would rather think of themselves as westerners or Spanish rather than Asian, and all want to live in USA or be american rather than Pinoy. There's a massive inferiority complex. The women all chase after white cock and all go be maids and mail order bribes. Similar to Japan and sk, but even worse since pH is super poor on top and thus are far "easier". Same with geopolitics. Just a few billion and threat of criminal charges in USA can control ph through BB Marcos completely.
Ph is corrupt as hell and compromised leadership for centuries already. Not much to be proud of there if I was ph myself. Duterte was heading in the right direction with giving ph their confidence back, but BB completely sold out and destroyed that.

@@silentwatcher1455do some research
If able to build her own warships, my golly, the Philippines with their highly experienced mariners would be a naval power!
Done, they already started in Cebu backup by Israel technology.
No money, no tech, too corrupt. They can't even build roads or schools, let alone advanced technical stuff like engines and systems on modern warships. They probably can't even build the hull.
The Power ranking in so far as reserves personnel is correct. The Constitution follows a "Swiss Conventional Army" which means in times of a declaration of war. All Filipinos domestic or abroad who are fit to serve in the armed forces are automatically activated making the entire force.

There are so many things lacking in this video including those newly acquired assets and other upcoming and on procurement process assets such as the MRF, Corvettes, OPV, Missiles etc.
It's so strong that all CCP has to do is use water cannons to keep them from their own islands, and the Filipino government does nothing. And all this talk about on the ground experience dealing with terrorist is nonsense. I'm from Zamboanga. If the army actually knows what they're doing, why have they been fighting the same people for over 50 years? Abu Sayef aren't that skilled in combat and tactics. It's junior league. I'm sure the filipinos here are going to dislike my comment but guess what, I am a Filipino citizen.
There's one weakness for the Philippines. The lack of national unity. It's difficult to maintain societal cohesion with various languages and traditions that comes with prejudice. No wonder the conflict in Mindanao still persists.
The philippines is the one of the largest shipbuilder in the entire world... very bright future for our nation..
The Philippines could have stayed as one of the strong and self reliant country, sadly, corruption and conflicts amongst themselves (from politics, road rage, comment section to small community conflicts) is destroying it from the inside.
I agree with the corruption but road rage? That's a bit of a stretch
@@BURGATRON Well, corrupt mindset started from a righteous person with self discipline to a person fearfully doing tiny bit of wrong things evolving to doing wrong things like it's normal and starts reasoning that "others do it too" and slowly losing self discipline and the courage to do bad things increases and not doing so is considered cowardice, then slowly turns into, "it's their right", while the scale of bad things they do increases and becomes normal and natural, they grow bolder day by day as more money, power and influence they have, and gets worst when the law is at palm of their hands. The wrong things they did start small
Professionalism and Discipline should precede Modernization. Without Professionalism and Discipline, Modernization is nothing.
The people are the strength of the Philippines. They have proved that time and time again.
What have the proved losing to Japan and the USA . They are an island of humble people not fighters otherwise they’d have a military
Thank you so much for this video.❤❤❤ Philippines
The Filipinos will stand their ground! 400 years ago till today!

Aside from ship repairs~ the backyard weapons' industry like Danao was missed where ARMSCOR has perfected ammo reproductive capability including acquisition of the U.S. Rock Island Armory facility.
DOST-sponsored STEM Students are even busier now with Robotics projects, and of course the contest on UAV prototype designs for mass production.
At least 3 military academies aside from private institutions have been training able-bodied youth for all-time ready combat competence & Call-to-Active-Duty trainings among civilians volunteers are manifestations of the organic spirit of one's patriotic obligation.

The AFP should better be more vigilant. If and when the shooting starts, we might be fending on our own since the U.S. might hold off unless the Chinese directly assault the Americans.
The Americans might continue to furnish us with supplies and equipment, of course. But for how long? Even now, the U.S. Congress won't approve its next budget for Ukraine seeing that there is no significant progress being made by Zelenskyy, Israel needs help, and the Immigration Problem in the South is continually spreading inwards, starting with the Sanctuary Cities all over the U.S., like a festering malignancy.
As Russia is pushing Ukraine without remorse for the loss of lives of its own troops, 14,400+ and counting, the same thing will happen when the Chinese come. In the '70s, we were discussing how the Chinese would win a Global War against the U.S. without firing a shot -- by just surrendering half of its population to the U.S. of A., rendering them Bankrupt, just to accommodate and feed all the approx. 500M people China would give away! They have another 6-700M in population reserve anyway.
I wish and I hope, I'm wrong about all this.
Take care everyone.

As a filo, i can explain the AFP as competently underequiped
Kindly expound
@@raulgeronimo9949it is self explanatory.
@@raulgeronimo9949even with below average equipments, AFP can still fight and go toe to toe with enemies. This was apparent since Phil-American war. The 60 vs 500 triad pass battle, Filipinos were still able to protect their president. No denying though that they desp need to upgrade their equipments as U.S has a history of betraying their allies.
@@znipermontejo5519 i dont think you understand wars are fought differently now, it changed a lot from the WW2 tactics of using up large numbers of soldiers in seizing goals to today's methods of using drones, warships, missiles, etc. to take out fortifications and strongpoints. Manpower is used very carefully now. why would an enemy risk losing soldiers when they can overwhelm us with modern weapons which the philippines are definitely lacking in.

As a Filipino, our military power is quite weak, but it has been improving and I appreciate the government for this.
First realistic comment. Well done sir as a former American in PH po Note this, if PH is invaded and I am here, I ABSOLUTELY would take up arms to protect it.
Philippines also got Indian made Brahmos missile which a supersonic cruise missile 🔥
Russian Onik
You don't have to brag about India everywhere .
Don't know why our people are so immature !
Behaving like self boasting insecure kids (°-°)
Have you ever seen Russians , Americans or French people bragging about their defence sellings ???
The reality is that India does not have its own industrial system. India cannot even produce rifle bullets, all weapons in India are purchased from Russia😂
it's probably the weakest in the ASEAN without looking up the internet. PH government has contented itself relying on USA for external defense and AFP focus has always been anti insurgency and humanitarian missions, hence, the lack of emphasis on procuring hardware for external defense which Is very idiotic. More than 300 years of spanish occupation, 48 years of american and 4 years of japanese and the government was never intent on guaranteeing the nation's sovereignty by neglecting to build up enough military assets for repelling an invasion. Those who say we are strong are delusional. We cant even drive away chinese civilian vessels on our own territory.
Considering the economic situation its still shit in my opinion yeah its definitely better since the asian economic collapse on (insert date from after WW2 idk when it was) but with that aside considering the corruption and state of the country its still shit and cause of that we cannot develop our own military domestically
I mean probably what we can do are at most do Gorrila Tactics and fight a prolonged war while under occupation but in a direct war? Nahhh we are going to get folded by those superior to us in military technology even with equal numbers especially with China
@@Thatcher_Adiffrentone we actually can, the government just won't do it. We need people to take the initiative who have the will to do it. So much funds wasted on good to useless spending.
corruption is the main cause.
Correction, I think our airforce already retired ov-10 bronco it was replace by super tucano.
yep the Tucano already replaced the Bronco
Philippines have Japan, South Korea, Israel and most of all United States to bolster the Philippine Military.

the LORD is our strenght our defender our shield
Last December 20, 2023, President Bongbong Marcos Jr signed the 2024 General Appropriations Act amounting to 5.768 trillion pesos. In the 2024 National Budget, the Department of National Defense received a total of 238,356,544,000 Billion pesos which is itemized into different agencies under DND.
A. Office of the Secretary - 1,263,480,000
B. Government Arsenal - 2,071,997,000
C. National Defense College of the Philippines - 187,392,000
D. Office of Civil Defense - 2,119,478,000
E. Philippine Veterans Affairs Office - 677,333,000
F. Veterans Memorial Medical Center - 2,714,183,000
G. Armed Forces of the Philippines - 229,322,681,000 and is divided into three major AFP Services.
. Philippine Army - 123,186,120,000
. Philippine Air Force - 45,153,842,000
. Philippine Navy - 41,388,723,000
H. General Headquarters, Afp and Afp-Wide Service Support Units (AFPWSSUS) - 19,593,996,000
For 2024, the AFP Modernization will have a total funding of 40 Billion Pesos, and an unprogrammed fund intended for AFP Modernization will amount to another 10 Billion Pesos, this the 2024 AFP Modernization Law will have a total funding of 50 Billion Pesos.
The 2024 National Expenditure Program which is the draft of the 2024 General Appropriations Act, the AFP Modernization law has a total funding of 50 Billion Pesos, Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro has requested a total funding of 100+ Billion Pesos for the AFP Mod fund, but the approved budget from DBM is fixed at 50 Billion Pesos.
During the DND budget deliberation in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, a lot of pledges have been made to make a "significant" increase in the DND's budget particularly in the modernization funds, as this fund is vital in the acquisition and upgrading of incoming and existing AFP assets and facilities.
Sec. Teodoro understands that his department's request for 100 Billion pesos in modernization funds is a "long shot" and his department is even open to a compromise modernization fund of between 60-70 Billion Pesos. But it seems their plead falls on deaf ears. Even amid the ongoing tensions the Philippines has with China, and after the harassment the Philippines received from China in the past months, it seems the message was not clearly seen by our legislators who have the "power of the purse" in approving any requested fund.
The 50 Billion Pesos AFP Modernization fund is slightly higher than the 2023 modernization fund which has a total amount of 45 Billion Pesos. The additional amount will help to conclude the remaining amount of some of the projects concluded in 2020 and 2021, but adding the projects that were concluded in 2022 like the navy Corvette, OPV, and additional Landing Platform dock ships which have bigger milestone payments will probably use more chunk from that afp modernization fund.
But even so, those project's milestone payments will still reach for another few years. And the 2024 modernization fund can still be used to start another important project for the AFP which is the Multi-Role Fighter acquisition project.
Bons Cue Ph hopes, that despite this development of having the "less desired" modernization fund for the AFP Modernization program after the said "commitments" and "pledges" given by our dear legislators to increase it significantly. The administration of DND and the National Government have found another way of having the needed military hardware and facilities through other means, and that is with the help of our allies.

Unfortunately that America is under a cage masquerading as freedom. However, I'm optimistic that they'll remember who they are. Many patriots are refusing to be silenced. There is a great awakening happening.
Don't focus on Philippine equipment, it's their skills that are deadly. Their resolve are proven time and time again.

Huh? Philippines is literally the 12th most populated country in the world.
Ahh ok
Then fight China😅
Is that why you have been colonized and had foreign military based in your country for the last few centuries and counting now? Is that why you guys keep getting dictator corrupt leaders who sellout to foreign interests? Haha. Someone who's confident and about freedom of their country doesn't allow another country to open military bases on their land.
Just compare pH with Vietnam, who actually had land border with China. It's clear one is confident and freedom, another is usa vassal state and attention seeker doing USA bidding.
Love my country Philippine 🇵🇭
During the time 1970's under Marcos senior era, Philippines is 2nd to Japan when it comes to economy and military. We have Sta Barbara Nuclear Plant that time. When the regime changed to Cory aquino, Fidel Ramos, erap Estrada, Gloria arroyo and aquino again ninoy, it was a total of 30 years without improvement of military. PH very down under 30 years of past 5 president's. Economy down and Filipino people became miserable, chaos and poverty. When Duterte start, a bit changes and improvement happened, military and economy have improved, peaceful improved. Now under new Marcos PBBM, it's a continuation of Duterte's program plus additional improvement in military and economic policy. Sad to say that PH being downed for 30 years of past 5 president's, while neighboring countries growned up for 30 years that's why now Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, etc are ahead the Philippines. We hope the PH can recover the 30 years losses under the past 5 president's. Good start from Duterte and now PBBM, the next to PBBM should be strong, competent and love our people and our country. Of course a strong MAN leader should be our next president.
not an excuse to say that we are the 2nd strongest. During the Cold War, which includes the presidencies of Magsaysay, Garcia, Macapagal and Marcos, the Philippines have been struggling to procure additional weapons to protect itself from foreign and local armed threats. By the time Marcos planned on acquiring submarines for the Navy, a certain Southeast Asian country beaten us to it by being the first in the region to operate such vessel.
Sta. Barbara NUCLEAR plant ??? What province is this nuclear plant located in the Philippines?
Iba ang sta barbara project iba ang nuclear p.plant

I’m Filipino American but let me just say America will always be on top of the world best military on the planet.
I beg to differ. The Americans will have a hard time keeping up with the Chinese and Russians, especially with the new generation of Americans, as they are quite bad, to say the least.
@@keannoxyrenceesquivel2349 nah , that’s where you’re wrong , as the Russians are proving right now , their combat doctrine and experience is failing them badly - they’re only good for attrition and human wave attacks for the smallest of gains that get pushed back each time. And Russia UNLIKE China has much more experience in combat and their doctrines are failing them. The Chinese haven’t deployed since the late 70s where they lost to Vietnam in less than three months . All their operational experience has translated to “theory” and simulation training in 2023 - they haven’t fielded out anything in decades . They’re a paper Tiger , they look and seem impressive on display , but like the Russians (whose combat doctrine the Chinese emulate and whose hierarchical and structural military culture are very similar - eg “face saving” - corruption in every level at the lowest levels , and an NCO Corp that has no operational independence and reliant on orders from officers instead of self sufficient command when necessary, we are getting a preview of what to see in Ukraine) - the Ph may be under equipped or out dated but the PH has continual operational experience in actual combat operations very regularly along with their cross training with allied nations.
@@keannoxyrenceesquivel2349 regarding your estimation of the Us , if the Russians are getting wrecked in their invasion of Ukraine , then what more when taking on forces of a nation that regularly fields out its forces in various conflicts around the world. That translates to a level of experience, skill and operational knowledge that can’t be bought or drilled or simulated - unlike say like in China , and in Russia’s case , drilled into 2 weeks of conscript training.
@kroogle2294 good point, but the Chinese are still there. Also, whod k you think will fall faster: the Russians or the Americans?
@@keannoxyrenceesquivel2349 the Chinese are still there because they’ve toed the line and haven’t crossed it far enough to warrant a response that would embarrass them militarily in front of the world , and as we know , the concept of “face and saving face” is the most important thing to East Asian cultures , it infiltrates their line of thinking on everything on a historical and present level. They don’t want to risk repeating the “century of humiliation” so they will posture and attempt to push and pressure it’s neighbors and bark at bigger foes until it feels sure it can go toe to toe. Right now due to domestic troubles , the idea of distracting their population by aiming them towards nationalistic pursuits before they’re even ready is an option.
Regarding your question with Russians and Americans , who would fall in a war faster , the Russians seem to be falling in droves against Ukrainian forces alone , pushing forward on sheer human life expenditure. The Russians have lost their geopolitical position and their military mystique has been debunked in front of the world , if they never invaded ukraine the world may have never seen its weaknesses and how outdated and out of practice they are , they could have settled for riding out the Cold War mystique , as of now they don’t even rate against the major powers of the world if it’s being matched militarily by ukraine. A country whose forces while very tenacious and dedicated and trained , aren’t exactly the most powerful military force on the planet.
And historically speaking , Russia and China have never balked at expending numbers of its people - sometimes they’ve won often times they’ve lost because they never seemed to outgrow that level of inefficiency of force expenditure.
Their military ain't that strong though.. Most of their equipments were bought 2nd hand and some were given for free. What makes them look strong is because of the alliance with the US but then again, they still have no chance going up against China if they're at war..
most were given? hahahaha tell me youre not a dog without telling me youre not a dog, then again china cant afford war with the US cant even mantain there economy when theyre not at war 😂
but never have good military stuff from US. not like Taiwan or Ukraine 😂
don't be fooled by your invaders in the past or your citizen love to be fooled 🥲

Phil. Military is the master of survival and adaptation. They may not be armed to teeth, but they can do with very little resources. Other armies may have no urge to fight if they are hungry, but Filipinos are used to hardship which makes them tougher and more determined. Other army have no match if they are placed in the jungle with AFP. Except for the Viets who are equally very good in jungle warfare.
Vietnam only good in caving other than that is nothing.i can tell they're good in jungle warfare though...
U are wrong armed to the balls not teeth Y is it that NPA are still there are you deaf & blind
That's why ph got colonized completely by Spain, USA, Japan, USA, etc for the last few centuries without any real fight.
Comparing yourselves to Vietnamese is a disgrace to Vietnam. They beat USA, beat france etc, while pH never beat Spain, never beat usa, and not just that but instead the men bent over and opening their women's legs for their former and current coloniser which they supposedly LOVE now lol. Still occupied military and still opening more new bases for USA to be their puppet and cannon fodder.
If you're so strong like Vietnam, then do like Vietnam and kick usa out and take care of your own security with your own ability. No? Then don't talk big and certainly don't compare yourself to Vietnam. Even NK does this and as a result has more respect from other countries than pH. Including USA. The will treat Kim as an equal, and not as a puppet dog like BB. Kim can and will talk whatever he wants, that is real sovereignty and strength.. Even being a us puppet and support, pH still poorest country in Asia basically. At least sk, japan etc while puppets and also occupied got their country developed and modernized.
Duterte knew what was up and about real pride and sovereignty for Philippines. Kicked out USA, and can say whatever he wants without fear. BB just a US puppet, sold out pH to USA and will never be able to talk freely about anything since he has no pride nor strength to do so.
@@ex0duzzUnfortunately, Spain only reached as far as Northern Mindanao. Which is why there's a lot of Muslims down south
@@ex0duzz without any real fight, hallooo? 1)Spain, do you know where Magellan (the Portuguese under Spanish fleet) died, he was killed in a fight in Mactan, Cebu, PH. As expected, a small archipelago compared to the more advanced Spain at that time, what do yo you expect of the outcome. 2) US, during the Philippine-American War, the US annexed Philippines after the Spanish occupation, but Filipino forces fought for it. The names Antonio Luna, Gregorio Del Pilar, Macario Sakay are some of the brave soldiers who fought in this battle. 3) Japan, Filipino soldiers fought beside with US soldiers, against Japanese invasion culminating in the Death March. So you see, you just need to read some history books not just the propaganda news issued by the communist Ch*na. Add to these invasions are the UN peacekeeping missions in South Korea. This country has soldiers that are war-tested.

Its strong enough to defend its borders long enough for reinforcements from allies to assist but certainly not enough for an invasion.
The Philippines military is formidable in this video creator's mind.
Its OK to dream
Modern equipment and the mass numbers of it doesn't really the only one contributing to an country being powerful The Philippines was known for its soldiers for many times in thier history and the world history as an whole..
one of the best aspects that the Philippines have and why it's still formidable force was it's soldiers was training was mastered in jungle Warfare that alone is the biggest reason. they maybe lacked modern equipments but their soldiers have the best morale. Fighting spirit and the Superior tactics
And like i said earlier Filipino soldiers are been proven many times in history there's alot of instances of it so i suggested you search some and see it for yourself..
Always remember
- Never underestimate someone just because they looked weak.

I think because of the USA why Philippines have strong military.. They adapt what USA military was doing.. Philippines was once part of USA.. And thanks to America.. the Philippines become independent in 1946.. Philippines and USA still have strong relationship up to this day..
We need to increase our numbers to a million
Philippines military is battle tested
When? They lost in WW2 to the Japs
What battle? You sound like Indians
Some of the info aren't correct, The AFP Has a Reserved force of over 1.2mil not 100k
fil.soldiers are adoptable they do best on what they have,.. some modern army soldiers rely on their scope to shoot at their target fil. soldiers on the otherhand have steel sight to rely but the result is the same, its like analog versus touch screen but the result is the same..but in terms of actual combat experienced, thats where the fil. soldiers have the edge..
Nah bro, look at how bad we performed in marawi
It runs in the blood
Filipinos are friendly but fearless warriors

Compare to our ASEAN neighbours we are not at par although with limited resources on hand but still we could defend and were getting there, no doubt about it slowly and with resilience......
Philippine soldiers is one of the BEST. They are the best in Southeast asia or maybe ASIA. Philippine Snipers can shoot target .5KM away with a hand gun. They also train Indonesian Soldiers to shoot this way. Watch on CZcams on how they do it.
💪🏾✊🏾🛡⚔️🫶🏾
HEHEHEHE! MY TOES ARE LAUGHING !!
😄😆 Fantastic given that most hand guns are only efficient up to 1 Km @ most. Max sniping range is 700-800M
lol so many propaganda that philiphines soldier is best of the best idk how they got their news from
5km with a hand gun? What have been smoking? 🤪
Mabuhay lahat ng pilipinong nagmamahal sa sariling bayan Pilipinas Thank you sooo much PBBMarcos na masipag at matalino. God bless us all pilipinos

Filipinos are strong-willed and patriotic. We are a very friendly race and we love to smile, laugh and make jokes. But we are also too damn serious if we are talking about serious matters. IMO, we are ready to fight for our sovereign, specially our very owned natural resouces in WPS. Our country is worth dying for!
EDIT: We also have enough war experience locally and historically (international). We are also soon to revive our military service obligation via CAT and ROTC! 🫡

Lol. Pure delusion. What you gonna fight china and Vietnam and everyone else with? Canoes and hot air balloon, fishing boats and spear guns? Lol
Yes we won against the chinese army exactly 70 years ago, from April 22-23, 1951, 900 Filipino soldiers of the 10th BCT of the PEFTOK successfully defended and threw back the numerically superior - about 40,000 - elements of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's 44th Infantry Division and the North Korean People's Army,
Propaganda, the PH were left flank of US military and this story is factually incorrect and repeated over and over.
Do you really belive that? As chinese , we dont really want to humiliate developing countries armys . But the fact was , all of the vassal countries army (12 countries )are just jokers in the Korean war . They have never get involved in such large scale warfare in their lives. If 20% of soilders got casualties , they would be crashed and ran away .
The only battle Filipino attanded was in early 1951, when American army were busy on running to south .
1. The first battle , PVA 58th division met American 65th division in April , the whole 65th division has been defeated to crash and ran away . Philipine soilders might lost 20 lives .A Philipine captain of a company has been killed.
2.April 24th , 40 philippine soilders surrandered to PVA, rest soilders ran away .
3.July 1951, Philipine army initially attacked PVA together with US army . 49 killed , 14 surrandered , rest of them ran away.
That's all the battles Philipine army have attend in front line , that's might be 5% battle in the first bloody warfare.
The total number of Philipine army was 1143 ( front line) , one year after involved the war, 100 killed , 280 injured , 130 surrandered .
This is just a story, not history. So boasting about oneself is not interesting😂
@@yshy-lc5vm yes spin doctors like you believe it's own lies and propaganda😆

Big YES...NPA has no more active gerilla front because of the very hard work of NTF-ELCAC and SMNI Network.And yet there are "some" goverment officials wants to abolish this very affective program by FPRRD.
No more "peace talk" on the terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF
There's a daily brutal war in Southern Philippines Mindanao.
We must also mention the brave igorot soldiers from the Cordilleras-same region where the equally brave Team Lakay was born. The Philippine Military Academy PMA is in the Cordillera mountains influencing youngsters from this region to join the military which is advantageous as the Highlanders are known for centuries for their fierce warrior spirit which was apparent in preventing the Spaniards from conquering them.

Sad that I am defending the guy but you do know just because you have 0 jets and attack helis doesn't mean your the weakest militarily doesnt it?
Philippines strongest asset is our hearts. Philippines despite being under the rule of Spain for 300+ years Filipinos never gave up the heart for freedom. after Spain, Filipinos fought the Americans then after that the Japanese. Filipinos may lose some battle but as long as we never give up we will win no matter what ❤
