Is China the biggest threat to the Philippines? AFPs Col. Logico tells why

[@rlt888]

Col. Logico is an extremely intelligent officer. Very qualified to be future AFP Chief of Staff or Defense Secretary.

[@maverick3161]

doubt it. ngayon plang colonel padin. class 93, mga general na.

[@clovenkiller]

Long time coming.. Malabo na ata.. Colonel parin sya hanggang ngayon..

[@maverick3161]

and the position he is holding. ewan kung General position yan. board of generals pa ang mag rreview ng promotion. eh alam nila na yeloow na yellow yan.@@clovenkiller

[@clovenkiller]

@@maverick3161 he is one fine officer tho..

[@maverick3161]

let us not take that away from him. however there are a lot of legendary officers in the AFP who shun publicity like true operators. Parang mas bagay si Logico sa NGO, or Politician.@@clovenkiller

[@josealmojuela8694]

Thank One News for your guest, Col. Mike Logico. This is an eye opener. First time I watched your program

[@kyryxxgomez7098]

PBBM should take notice of this Col. He is a big asset to the AFP

[@bigcat8905]

he sounds more general than many of those guys wearing stars on their shouders

[@luciamedina8924]

That is such fair and genuine observation 👍Kudos to you sir Director 👍👏Your patriotism, intelligence and wisdom are unquestionably palpable 👍🙌✌️We need more of you sir and you certainly make all Filipinos PROUD 🇵🇭.God bless us all🙏🇵🇭🇺🇸🙏

[@concernedcitizen3663]

I totally disagree with you, Some speaks better other acts stronger.

[@timawa22]

Lol Chief General not really allowed to talk like this openly.

[@eduardocampana1356]

The mindset of the Philippines is on the defense posture and its interest on the WPS is to be able to exercise its sovereign rights. China's mindset is on the offensive posture and its interest is the one china policy which is totally vague, deceptive and full of hidden agenda aside from being unrealistic to the present situation. Much to say that its leaders are disoriented, adamant, ambitious and abusive

[@jordzbuenafe6239]

Don't provoke communist countries like Russia and China. Sit down and have a dialogue with them. Don't be like that Joker in Ukraine Zelensky. US left him hanging in the middle of war against Putin.

[@popongomac3540]

​@@jordzbuenafe6239they don't have at treaty like US- Philippines treaty so USA only support Ukraine's military. Don't fools others your ignorance.

[@senseofliving4724]

Intelligent and informative guest! Having said what the issues are, would really suggest to have hundreds of naval ships and air assets and this will be a permanent reality moving forward! Philippine can no longer not put emphasis on military might. Security is life now!

[@daneurope9167]

the philippines should become a warrior country…its the best defense sa future..become a war freak once attacked..maging isang tunay na palaban..walang masama doon..

Col. Logico is the tank in think tank.👌

[@knightarmor534]

thank you mga Sir. sa talakayang pangkaalaman sa ating security ng bansa.

[@kyryxxgomez7098]

Col Mike Logico should be promoted to General and be given a key position. He is more eloquent and knowledgeable than most Military Generals here and abroad

[@blackbird1477]

Very informative. Thants for the free lecture.

[@michaellogico5613]

Thank you for inviting me. It's always a pleasure.

[@tlevans62]

Very informative Interview Mike. Glad to see the Aussies attending these events. I guess you're keeping Mick Cracknell busy, lol. Cheers, Trev

[@Ma22natayo]

Aside from the corrupt politicians....YES.

[@shinofranz]

The military itself said that the "leader they are following knows what he is doing and has clear road map especially in this trouble times of our country facing a huge powerhouse" that is a clear indication that we have choice a right person to become our commander in chief /President

[@kli2887]

Philippines should focus on developing it's navy into a world class fleet.

[@royceivanailaomc1853]

Galing ni COL!

[@henry007video]

I had studied China and all countries in Asia when I was in college but the history book I'd read never mention China's nine dash lines, nor any of the spratly islands. A short History of the Far East authored by Latourrette is one, for example,.

[@joshuapotectan9573]

exactly. All they have is their story not history.

[@nestorlasta8392]

That's really good to have exercises all the time with nations like minded to get ready all the time for preparation of everyone who are in the military service and to having knowledge on how to operate those modern weapons in fighting by our adversary no other than China.

[@lillymariaquillopras1997]

The AFP should have started by now a Naval Academy. All research and ships launching can be part of it. All we need is law from congress and budget of course. It is a must for the Ph considering the islands we have.

[@carmelolopez413]

Col Logico is very patient. The interviewer could barely conceal his desire to speak.

[@shinofranz]

We should also start to find alternative nations to choose our import and export slowly separating our dependency with China.. Not only it would weaken China but also able us to become self sufficient when facing China's pressure.

[@victorfnejal5998]

We may deputized our fishermen as intel network and guardian of Philippines seas.

[@zzzzzsleeping]

As long as your uncle Sam is there in the island, China will not dare to seriously threat the Philippines. However, their bullying and salami-slicing tactics will still be there.... until of course IF the U.S. will instruct the Philippines ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

[@uncommon_name9337]

Yeah no, can't be too complacent. Remember 1941 ?

[@robcaya3716]

cheena is deteriorating within inside their mainland. their tactics is only meant for distraction away from their internal problem. cheena can't afford a war, they are very weak military; otherwise they would have done so already. bigger military doesn't necessary means powerful and dominant.

[@ajwo5984]

Lol

[@st-6837]

And remember what happened to the Japs?

[@st-6837]

True heck they don't have even enough transport ships to ship their soldiers or equipment if they start to invade Taiwan

[@virgilialim4130]

Whether we are weak country or not in terms of military strength doesn't mean we do not have the right to protect or what belongs to the Philippines. Many powerful countries now start taking other countries property. We are now in the new century and people are not ignorant anymore.

[@funnymovie2827]

Naval fleet drones I think it new high technology now to defend our nation in terms of sea defense it is very cheap to expensed than to buy a submarine or any high ship .

[@isidronavasero8969]

Not for the Philippines alone...China is a threat to the world... imagine our free navigation..if China will hold the whole of WPS....then every nation must get permission first from China to allow everyone to pass the route...and perhaps payment will be implemented like toll fees.

[@sacmarcela1973]

Yun ang habol ng China trillion of Dollars kikitain nila jan sa mga dadaan bukod pa sa trillions of natural gas na gusto nila angkinin sa eez natin kaya ganyan kadesperate kagreedy ang China

[@sinag.hiraya]

and this is why it is important to watch and listen to the experts who literally study and knows enough about these things than a comment from a nobody on tiktok or X blaming philippines and highlighting their outlandish conspiracy theory about why we need to let china just do whatever the f they want. philippines is the balancer of everything in the scs bcos of our strategic location. whether we leave china be or not, they will not stop there. philippines is literally between china and US, and whoever had the philippines in their favor can also control most-if not all-of scs.

[@castled7493]

Historically, China has never been a threat.

[@ivoallanty6722]

agree..and both japan an the U.S. have occupied both China and the Philippines

[@rodrigoestillore331]

The safety and security of the country depends upon the standard and quality weapons she have Sophisticated weapons acquired by the country is a great factor to calm the g enemy in invading it No matter how well trained is our military if their weapons are substandard or low quality there is possibilities that we will bei invade by the enemies Take it or leave it

[@aldrinmilespartosa1578]

We are maritime neighbours of a state that has abitions. To be neutral is a kin of a deer trying to apease a giant hungry lion.

[@sidc.3817]

Okay..since the word "minimum' is now removed from the credible defense posture mission, can the Philippines finally push to establish a National Defense Shipbuilding Strategy to accelerate its PN, PCG, and BFAR ship procurements from a pace of 1 ship per presidential term into dozens per term?

[@paulsteaven]

The upgrading of Cavite Naval Yard is a good start, which is now being used in building Shaldag V/Acero class fast attack crafts (some were armed with Spike NLOS ATGMs) in terms of state owned shipyard. In the case of private owned, there's Propmech of Subic that build the MPACs Mk.II to Mk.IV (some were armed with Spike ER ATGMs) and the Austal Cebu which is mow tapped by PCG in building their future offshore patrol vessels (OPV) which is the same design offered by the company to the Navy but was rejected due to costs reasons. Aside from shipyards, the Navy and PCG should also have its own drydocks as they're still using civilian drydocks (found in Batangas and Subic) in maintaining and upgrading their ships.

[@virgilialim4130]

Yes! They get one of our food resources. They lack sea resources because they overpopulated and getting it from other countries resources. That is greediness.

"To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal" ~ Henry Kissinger

[@laplue]

this is a stupid quote roaming around every channel in social media... with or without them we are still in fatal situation. stay neutral, we're dead, we can't do anything to stop external threats invading us. we're not superpower. stay with neighbor country that invades our territory, still dead. they are taking our resources right in front of our faces; they will take it with or without west siding us. they will say they're superpower, so they have rights to take it. siding with US and our allies, still dead but has a chance. we have a chance to fight back. imo, all we are is to choose the lesser evil... we're a small country.

[@Abdul_JaculBuratsadorSalsalani]

The exception to the rule of that proposition is the friendship between America and the Philippines. It was founded unintended or unintentionally and just sprouted from genuine brotherhood... The American has some bad attitude... but so were the Filipinos... so neither one is perfect.

[@zzzzzsleeping]

The United States understand the strategic location of the Philippines. If they lost the Philippines, the whole Indo-Pacific region will be lost. That's include Japan, South Korea possibly Australia and New Zealand. Nope, Philippines and the USA has a shared history. It will never happen.
