Unsa pod ikasulti nimo ani bro? The Austronesian Expansion Theory states that Malayo-Polynesians coming from Taiwan began migrating to the Philippines around 4000 BCE, displacing earlier arrivals.

ts there are current laws that we are basing our claims from making it rightfully ours. it might just be a shoal for you but its part of our country.ts is your country worth the fight?

[red03]

war will do more harm than good but if it will happen then we must defend our land.

I would have said no, it's not worth fighting for but after reading the post from huck, I realized that this is true.

regardless of natural gas or reserve oil etc etc., I can say that Scarborough Shoal is worth fighting for. Philippines are made up of islands, our territory, our place, our home. If china will take scarborough and we will just let them have it, magkadugay manganad na sila ug pangankon ug teritoryo. Territory is priceless, mapuy-an gud na, makuhaan ug panginabuhi sa mga igsoon nato nga mananagat. Kung magpakita ta ug kahadlok sa china, basin puhon ang mga apo sa apo sa apo sa apo nato dili na maka panginhas sa atong baybayon kay wa na gi angkon na sa mga inatay nga hambogirong chinese government.

.

so my answer now is "yes, it is worth fighting for.. but no, it's not worth dying for.."

[hoolmigas]

Is Scarborough Shoal worth fighting and dying for?
IMO, NO kay mao ra gihapon ang mga kurakot ra sa gobyerno ang mabulahan unya ang atong mga kabos nga kaigsonan maoy luoy kay mawagtangan ug panginabuhian parehas ani

Well, the issue is not about "only the corrupt officials will benefit from Scar Shoal" it's more about protecting the homeland. If we don't fight for it then we will be expecting enemies at our gates. Remember we are dealing with a communist nation. Human rights is nothing with these people, why? coz they are communist. Remember Tiananmen Square? I wouldn't want such kind of people lurking so close to the homeland. If they are allowed to set foot on that piece of rock, GOD knows what they'll do next with their burgeoning military capability that the US and the whole world is much aware of. Next thing you know it's an invasion as what monroy is pointing out, he's right. An example is a Chinese businessman. These guys are out to get every single penny from your pocket. Nowadays it seems everything is "Made from China" very very cheap. Why is that? They want to kill the competition and take out everything from you pocket and into their purse. Same with land, territory, natural resources. My GOD these people are grabbers! So it's basically more on that - protecting the homeland.

On the other side of the coin, the issue on the corrupt officials. Well, it's the fault of most of us. All I hear from most of the voters come election day is " Pilay hatag ni... ? Nya? Mohatag si...? Etc. etc..." That's why they're there. It's basically our fault.
