[rodey_lyf]

yes definitely dun din ang tumbok nyan aminin mo man o hindi, kung gustu nila protektahan ang WPS magtayo sila ng base nila dyan

remember Scarborough Shoal, kunwari matapang si Trillianes at Pnoy, pero kunwari lang yun

ang China meron
ang Vietnam meron din

ang US wala, sa poorbinsya sila nagtatayo

patapangan lang yan! - o ayan sinagot na kita ulitin ko - PATAPANGAN lang yan, haha

The question dito is bakit di tayo pumapalag

 

[blank1134]

Its really sad that this is happening. Okay sana kung madali lang magpabuhay ng mga coral reefs hindi eh. There's also a big difference between artificial corals and true corals. That's not an offence only to the Philippines but the whole world we live in.

 

[Coconut Sheep]

nah, consequence of a poor country, or poor military. magpasalamat nlng tayo walang war dahil kung di isang nuclear lng pinas.

sarili ngang territory (mindanao) hndi macompletely governalized, external country pa kaya. kaya if hndi makapalag pilipinas wag na magtaka

 

[cimanidete]

anung bu̾tt hurt? you haven't proven anything about massive, for sure wala kang figure/numbers na mahaharap sakin kaya nasakin na attention mo instead of proving your "massive" stand

You do realize na for attention grabbing yang word "massive" ng philstar sa kanilang article title? Sabi sa lathala, "Rozul reef" was completely stripped...so as a reader ang pagkakaunawa ko ay buong rozul reef ang nilimas ng coral reef. Kung figures hanap mo boss, use google or chatgpt na lang kung gaano kalaki ang rozul reef. matagal ng kalakaran ang clickbait sa mga news may it be printed or in any platform, di ka pa nasanay. Kung curious ka, magcross reference ka na lang as a responsible reader. Wag mo na iaasa sa mga nagbabalita ang buong katotohanan, otherwise, mabibilog lang ulo mo.
