Sometimes I feel a bit sorry for our Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), they have been brainwashed for so long by the Americans into siding with them that they can’t accept the fact that the United States (US) was never really good for them, while the rest of our South East Asian (SEA) Neighbors have long moved on and switched to the NEW and RELEVANT Superpower in the World that is CHINA.
Our AFP still wants to continue to stay loyal to the US despite the fact that the Americans never really helped them much. This was especially true during the long, dark Days before we started our own Modernization Program, the US only gave them TOKEN Military Equipment or Funding while regularly giving Countries like Egypt and Israel BILLIONS of Dollars per Year and Countries like Pakistan several hundreds of millions of Dollars per Year in Military Aid.
And when the US did help them, the Americans made sure that the AFP stayed DEPENDENT to them, or made sure that they got something back in return. Just look at the recent Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), for example.
They only helped improve the Infrastructure of the Bases as long as they got to use it also. If we hadn’t agreed to that CONDITION, would they have helped improve those Bases? Of course not, the Americans are selfish and only think of themselves first.
I do hope that the AFP finally WAKES UP about the realities of the World we are living in right now, and that it happens soon. I really hope so.
