what a lame comment.. The US, Israel, Britain also suffer fom terrorist attacks. Does that mean their military sucks also? Its a fact, phil military is a nitwit comapared to its neighbors or ther countries, but it never had its planes go to its own buildings and Stage Theaters are safe..

moderator is an obvious bigot and a very dumb one at that. The Philippine military produce some of the best elite for ces in jungle warfare, else the us wouldn't employ our boys to train your troops. and china would have attacked us on the spratly island dipute when our now deposed president told em to go ahead and try taking the island by force. moderator, if any army in the world suck, it's the u.s. the us military base their supremacy with dishonorable warfare based on technology. like dropping the atomic bomb in japan or bombing iraq to bits before sending in your chicken soldiers to do some t.v. mop up operations. i have high respects to the u.s. army, but like american foreign policy, moderator you suck! lets play a couple of freindly skirmishes in the airsoft feild sometime! ;-)

moderator, have you been to the Philippines? I suggest that you visit the country and do a thorough observation on how the country runs, esp. the military system in the country, then tell us again if your first impression is correct. what about the Sept 11 bombing, the Us wasn't able to predict the bombing and wasn't able to protect their people and their country, does it mean..US sucks?..

Abu Sayyaf's objectives are to kidnap-for-ransom; and kill hostages to reinforce the first objective. They have speed-boats. They are known to hit coastal resorts and kidnap the wealthy, and run for it. What makes the Sayyaf dangerous is that they control Mindinao area. Most counter-insurgency doctrine states or implies that terrorists need a secure base area to operate. Having much of the southern Phillippines...they have it in spades. Or maybe hearts, now that the army is stepping up operations nearby.

Muslims are less than 5% of Philippines population. In almost 60 years of independence the Philippines has been unable, or unwilling, to suppress the rebellion. If after 60 years we are still fighting terrorists in Iraq, then and only then will I accept the comparison. I don't believe the problem is the military. It is the politicians and the GENERAL level of corruption throughout the Philippines. Filipino politicians are simply unwilling to accept the political heat and the loss of personal income that a permanent solution to the problem would entail.

I think considering the remarkable lack of success the US military has shown with all its immense resources in its fight against terrorists ought to give anyone pause before praticing all too rigorous critcisms os the Philippine military. Again--those in glass houses ought not to toss stones....they ineveitably break glass when tossed back!

i've talked to one of my friends from the philippines and from what he said its mostly, worthless filipino politicians who are the root of not only lack of success against terrorists but also the reason why there is so much tension there.

The Philippines SUCKS, who are you kidding, its one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I will give you that the politics suck.. Manila has less than 6% unemployment, Mindanao on the other hand has 47%. The muslims have recieved many promises, and that is just what they get PROMISES, PROMISES and more promises..if people have work to do and a pride in doing it they would have far less time or heartfelt inclination for warfare. A muslim can see paradise if he takes care of his family on this earth (a promise held out in the Koran) a difficult thing to do without any work. At present they have idle hands and no money and are easy pickings for the radicals.

useless for foreign threats, yeah they even can't get a coup right. just look at that oakwood incident, they have no balls. i've been to the military academy in baguio, from what i've seen, i guess they do train their officers right.Somewhere along their tours of duty, the officers got suck in. now we have is one of the most corrupt militaries in this part of the world. I've talked to a friend of mine who works on one of the ship docking dacilities of the PN. He said that the low ranking ship captains are just like piranhas. They demand huge kickbacks on any contract that goes in there. Just imagine the admirals and the generals. Back here we have a different meaning of our premier military school. (PMA) P = Philippine M = Millionaires A = Academy

Those politicians and generals are to blame. The people are also partialy to blame like in the last election. They voted an actor with no political experience, is a highschool drop out and lived his life as an actor from three better politicians. And if the economy went bad the actor will be the one to be blamed. In my belief this nation those not need a democratic government but a dictatorship. But the dictator should not be corrupt.
