Filipinos should not depend on the US for its own defense of the Kalayaan Island Group- AJ (tags)
If there is the best way to illustrate the lop-sided Philippines-United Stares relations is about, it can be shown when latest US missile destroyers will join ageing Philippine warships for naval exercises this week in a timely show of unity as tensions with China escalate over a maritime dispute. While US has modern missile ships it has given WWII vintage ships like all the war materials hands me down to its puppet state. And the bad thing is that the Philippines has to buy it not at a bargain price but a cut throat cost. For 11 days of the RP-US exercises start on Tuesday off the southwest Philippine island of Palawan in the Sulu Sea, close to the disputed waters of the West Philippine Sea where Manila has complained of increasing Chinese provocation. Officially the training is an annual event not linked to the territorial row, but it nevertheless offers the Philippines comfort shortly after appealing to its long-time ally and former colonial power for help in containing China.

Sa araw ng kalayaan, Hunyo 12, 2011 --ikinararangal nating magpugay sa mga manghihimagsik ng Rebolusyong 1896. Sa kabila nang naagaw ang kalayaan sa kanila, nagpatuloy silang magiting na kipaglaban, humawak ng armas at nagpahayag sa kalsada mula Pilipinas hanggang Amerika't Europa at ibang ibang panig ng daigdig at hindi sumuko. Dumating sa rurok ang himagsikan ng 1896 noong Hunyo 12, 1898 nang ipahayag ni Heneral Emilio Aguinaldo ang kasarinlan habang nasa binggit ng tagumpay ang sambayang Pilipino sa pagpapatalsik sa mga Kastila. ngunit sinakop naman tayo ng bagong imperyalistang Estados Unidos at mapaghanggang ngayon ay isang kunwang malaya ngunit sa totoo isang kontroladong mala- koloyang bansa.

Ipinagdiriwang natin—ng Alyansa Pilipinas (AJLPP) at komunidad Pilipino sa Amerika ang ika-112 Araw ng kalayaan mula sa koloyalismong Kastila, Hunyo 12, 1898 . Sa dakilang araw na ito, habang sa Pilipinas, buong pagmamalaking pumaparada ang sandatahang lakas ni Gloria para siya bigyan ng pamamaalam at ang paksa ng parangal sa Luneta ay ang mga nagawa ng kanyang siyam na taong paghahari, pinaalalahanan natin ang ating sarili na tuloy ang ating pakikibaka Batid nating uupo ang bagong pangulong galling sa isang lumang pampulitikang dinastiya at mananatiling banta sa kanyang pamamahala ang sakim na si PGMA na nagiwan ng mahabang listahan ng pagmamalabis, lagim at pandarambong na halos kapantay o higit pa sa diktador na si Marcos. Dapat pa tayong humanda sa mas magiting at matindi pang pakikibaka. Ngayon pa lamang tiyak na mas tuso, garapal at marunong ang bagong pangulong si Noynoy Aquino. Kung tuso si Gloria at walang habag, alalahaning galing sa pamilyang warlord si Noynoy na may suporta sa showbiz , mga korporasyon sa media at uring asendero kayat paborito ng imperialismong dayuhan.
