we also have Gaza, Colombia (my father was one of the contingent), we also send some of our F8 before, Korea (PEFTOK) nga bilib ang mga kano ug british sa mga pinoy kay surounded na sila pero na repel pa nila ang human wave sa mga chinese, i think this the time nga ni ingon si McArthur nga "Give me a Filipino soldier and i'll conquer the World", and there was Vietnam (PhilCAG), AFAIK daghan tag mga napadalhan ug mga contingent sa lain2x ng conflict

Former Pres Fidel Ramos was on PEFTOK and PhilCAG, he is the first commander of Special Forces....
