Yes! lets go to war. And tell duterte to sing and understand the national anthem. Better die fighting than live as a coward. China is never afraid of anyone because they are already a strong country that can bully anyone weak. PH should tell the UN Security council that china has already invaded the Philippines EEZ and has already declared a soft war. the Missiles can now both reach PH and Vietnam and as far as malaysia and these nations has no defence capability against these missiles.

“Duterte: China threatened ‘war’ over sea row”, God talked to him to save the filipino he sold the country, going to Russia to buy guided missiles and bring few Russian first graders to help him finish the nuclear plant controlled from the space station he already build.

LOL… I told you! You elected a TOOTHLESS DOG in the Philippine. . Now what? Still bragging??

This guy is a big time liar. If China did threatened to go to war the mire reason the country should have closer and stronger ties with the US and other claimant countries and with ASEAN. This guy played a ridiculous game, he lost, got cornered and now trying to wriggle out. What a sham and what a shame. No dignity.

They said they would rape me, so I said, how much money do you got? Then I bent over and lubed it up for them.

this guy is a double headed snake, he want the best of US and China

LOL … the red commie dares to tell that to dodirty face becoz dodirty shed off the US supports and now without teeth. the red commie dont have to go to war with the phils. just give few slaps left & right, the phils will sink….. without the US. like it or not. face the reality not some fairy tales.

What kind of leader who shirks his responsibility. He is a real quitter. No wonder the Pinoys are running away from their own country.

War?..against China?… Every single Chinese spit a saliva…Philippines will be sunken…war your head… Don’t have a big head don’t wear a big hat…same as your mouth…:D

Duterte you can kill your own people. but you don have L P .. go to war again china ..

Now, he’s in a bind. Duterte is called on his bluff on his so called independent foreign policy, when in fact, he has no policy at all for the integrity and sovereignty of his country. Kowtowing to China in the hope of getting loan money which he can’t get from US, EU, UN, WB which he has alienated. Who will come to help in case of war with China? US, EU not a chance. Russia, even less. Now the blabbermouth of a president is put in his place.

President Sir, You have done well for your country to-date in securing financial aid to improve the life of your people. Tell the world what good is a few barren islands compared to the improvement of life for your people when the world saw on documentaries that shows little children of yours scavenging the dump site to stay alive. This should stop and Uncle Xi is now helping you to improve the well being of your people with financial aid. A good bargain is definitely better that a strong case. Be practical Sir. An improvement to the well being of your people is clearly better than that worthless piece of Judgement your predecessor secured from the world court. Why howl on principle when the stomach of your children is hungry only for the world to see your children scavenging the dump site for survival and in their innocent frustration to seek comfort in drugs which rightly so you dislike and have to take drastic action even to finish them off from the suffering of theirs. Here lies the problem many do not understand is the weight weighting on that golden crown the people put it on your head.

Coward and a Traitor ,his brain addled by drugs and a liar , cheat and thief ! China gave him money to get elected and he bought you a T-Shirt and a couple of cheap beers , how’s that working out for you ?

Lalo na tawagin ka namin duwag. You jetski riding coward. Kahit isang putang ina nalang sana, hindi mo pa minura si XiJinping. Duwag ka talaga. Pang defenseless drug addicts ka na lamang. DUWAG.

Doesn’t have the personality of a President but a brothel Owner or Pimp.

the pinoy turtle face already sold his ball to prc china now he have no ball that why he so scare hahahahahahahahahha.

NO BALLS..got BALLS also die under China thumb press.

Go to war with what weapons? The 23K M4 China is giving to the Philippines Army just reported yesterday. Come on, deal with the problem with the ASEAN framework and ensure that proper resolution of the age old disputes is not worsened by claiming war actions without real abilities.

So of course Duterte wouldn’t do anything because all he is is an arrogant lying sonofabitch who makes claims and threats he couldn’t back up. Why doesn’t he hop on a jetski and immediately proceed to the Spratly islands and plant the Philippine flag there? Didn’t he say he would do that? Ano na ang nangyari? Puro patayan lang ang nalalaman nitong kumag na ‘to.

I understand Duterte’s fears but I think he can deliver on what he promised….riding that jetski into china and dying for our country. All it takes is a little fentanyl hahahaha

It is a matter of dare to serve the country and dare to die for it. Dont take the president role if you chicken out just because China yell and threaten you. The previous president didnt bend.

I believe Duterte is telling the truth. Do you still remember when, Deng Xiaoping and Margaret Thatcher were negotiating the hand over of Hong Kong back to China? China told her that they are prepared to use force to take back Hong Kong if England did not return it back to them on time. After the meeting Margaret Thatcher fell down while walking down the stairs(this is well known) In those days, China military is weak while British military is strong. Now China’s military is strong while Philippines is weak. But at least Duterte has a pair of strong legs and did not fall down while walking down the stairs. (LOLl) He also won billions of dollars of investment from China (very shrewd fellow) Lol. China is the fool(LOL)

1. It is a pity that President Duterte tested the baseline so early without properly gathering his chips with ASEAN. It’s a losing game if any of the ASEAN countries go in alone against China. This is in Chinese “逐个击破“，defeat the enemy one by one. That is the reason why China always want to talk individually with the claimants. Not mentioning that even the whole of ASEAN, at the moment, cannot resist any aggression from China regardless it is militarily or economically. 2. It is about time ASEAN rethinks its leadership and bonding structure to move into the new era of 2 world superpowers and try to survive in it. Strategically and geographically, if ASEAN can reap in the economy of Australia and the nukes and population of India, it may become the next super power. What ASEAN countries can do now is only build, grow stronger with any superpowers, and wait for the next turn. Be united and have stronger and quicker decision making processes.

It is well known beforehand that China would impose its will over the SCS, even if it takes a war. This is the reason why there is need for multi lateral talks, conference or negotiations on the matter. There is also need for respect for the law and legal rights of countries. The problem is even before any talks, Duterte has already given in to China, jettisoned the Philippine legal rights and disparaged the allies. He intentionally weakened the Philippine position by demeaning the centuries old relationship with the allies. He has no backbone or no bayag.

When China is trying to defend its territories the world call it bully. In fact China had been bullied by the western countries and Japan in the past few hundreds years. Just look at the invasion of China by the eight joint foreign army from European, America and Japan. The two opium war started by the British against China which forced China into signing of the unequal treaty to let the British control of Hong Kong for 150 years. US bombing of Chinese embassy in Belgrade that killed two Chinese in 1999. All these happened because China was too weak to fight back at that time and these foreign devils knew it. China was being BULLIED!!! Chinese government now understand that the only way to prevent the history from repeating is to have a strong army to defend itself. So whether China’s leaders really told the Philippine president that they are prepare to go to war in defending China’s territory or not, but from the way China is building up their defence in the South China Sea, they mean business this time. Like one of the comments below by St. James wrote, “better die fighting than live as a coward”. Just remember, this is a nuclear era, when there is war no body survive.

china is bullying and threatening the phil because this genius of a president is distancing the phil from its traditional allies the US and also the EU. what little apprehensions it has about its false claims has now disappeared. it also knows the US will not risk losing billions of dollars in business it has with china just to defend a few islands with an idiot president

If disputed by both parties,it is better for both parties to sit down and work out percentage when exploring resource. If one party proceed with exploring without another party’s consent, it sure will incur war/conflict.

Surprise Surprise !! Now that china has a functioning runway for their fighter jets & have installed rocket launchers on the fabricated island plus have one of their aircraft carriers within easy reach & prompted duterte into dispute with our only allies of USA & EU, China finally hints at their true resolved willingness to declare war with the useless philippines.

Getting my laughs reading some of the comments. Go to war with China? LOL Go to war with China wih the US? LOL Really? lol… Rememeber China is already at the top three of the worlds superpower. Even the US or Russia or EU for that matter would think a thousand or more times to get into trouble with China…lfor crying out loud..lol…Maybe we really need to get ourselves remember our history especially those in the last two great wars…lol… Just to take note also that a nuclear bomb is more than a thousand times powerful than an atomic bomb….Just my two cents: Pres. Duterte shows more wisdom in dealing with China. Why? 1. It’s more realistic…He never said that he gave up on the rights upheld by the tribunal but he took a stand on it with China while showing respect on China’s historical claim. Remember that the tribune never issued any statement on whether the claim of China is false,or anyone else for that matter even the US, so with that it would look as if it’s true…Anyway, more than anything the country is still getting something out from the WPS that benefits the people. better than not having anything at all just like in the previous administration.. .isn’t that a good thing….? 2. The interest of the US is just about the freedom of navigation in the area and that’s it, they steer away or goes ambivalent from the problems regarding claims, and it’s understandable why they are so…they owe a lot to China, to the Philippines nothing! ! So, is it right to say that the President is right in saying that we can’t depend on the US if we go to war?..I think he is..lol….3.A great opportunity and advantage has been given to the President.. why? bcoz he is able to have a friendly talk and able to bargain with the leaders of PRC as shown by their warm acceptance of the president. … “The supreme art of war is to subdue the eneny without fighting” Sun Tzu “Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting” Sun Tzu

THE BEST MOVE IS A JOINT PARTNERSHIP UNDERTAKING WITH CHINA.ECONOMICALLY SOUND AND IT WILL BENEFIT US N CHINA.

Why does China need to threaten Philippines with war when they know that they can buy off our legal claims with MONEY? What Duterte did not reveal is how much money he got from his trade visit to China. Not just for the Philiipines but for himself.

These are disputed waters. All claimants have the right to claim and disputes should be settled by dialogue and negotiation. Duterte has a point in not using force to settle disputes.

Should have gone to war and confirm the Commies into the history books to be as bad as the Japanese in 1930s.

Duterte is the most coward leader of all time.

For those who’ve had enough with President Duterte’s warm relations with China, enlist in the army. That’s the only way……erm….the only way
