dili man cguro ta mag lisod ani bai,

Akong income TAX Monthly 3500php
Akong magasto monthly 18000php*12%(VAT) = 2160


Total = 5660php Multiply that by 90M++ Filipinos then ADD millions of business/corporate TAX, Imagine unsa na ka dako. Thats reality, KAYA ra kaayo na nato nga mga equipment, ang problem sa lang kai atong politicians.

Apilan pa ug OFW remittance+government incomes.

estimate:
Income TAX+VAT pa lang daan 5660x90M(Filipinos) = 509400000000 php, thats per month.

good computation brad.pero dili tanan pinoy same ug income nimo.. before acquiring these hi-end "mananap", the govt. should improve our own military system.kanang walay corruption! gatasan napud nis mga general..i dont think US will donate this to us even thou we shoulder the maintenance,pero,if naay collateral, like our natural resources (vast of oil). To pnoy sir,undang na duwa PSP gubat2x.hehe

Why don't we appeal to the UN to intervene on our behalf? Unsa man diay purpose sa UN kung dili sila makatabang? In this modern day and age, for one country to "invade" another country, esp one as high-profile a country as China, we'd be risking a full-blown international debacle, possibly a World War. For a communist country to "invade" a democratic country and a known ally of the US...that is a really, really risky move. An attack on the Philippines by China could be seen by the international community as a show of force to all democratic countries (e.g. US allies). Uhmm, that is not good...not good at all. Mao na na nga panahon nga manago na kita sa mga langob or asa pa nga underground nato matagoan, kay mag Star Wars aka World War III na.

UN? Look at Syria, that would give you the answer.

we can do this if we will kill all those corrupt politicians starting from the brgy sk's up to the presidential level. i dont know but tell that to the aquinos, didto nag sugod ta ka pobre pag sulod nila. ang mga datu samot ka datu, ang mga pobre samot ka pobre.

[Deadstring67]

kong wala lay corrupt ma afford man jd na. saun man mostly mga government officials buwaya.

[alt_tab]

nindot unta kung naa ta ani. pero lisod mahitabo dayon kay the need more maintenance to perform in it's top condition. maghilak ang mga kasagarang politiko kay di sila kakuha ug kwarta para sa ilang bulsa kung maka-acquire ta aning mga advancements para sa military nato.

[elvandesantos]

1billion for all this? kabarato gud!

UN? Look at Syria, that would give you the answer.

Well Syria's situation is different because it's an internal conflict. The UN has historically been more hesitant to step in when the conflict is internal (e.g. civil unrest/civil war). But one country invading another? That's a whole different ball game , di ba? Iraq invading Kuwait caused the Gulf War. China, a totalitarian/communist regime, invading Pinas, a democratic nation who is a known fan/ally of the US? Hmnnn...
