for me i would say yes, invade in a way to force them to negotiation or submit to icj

hope dilg sec wil do something im sure dis wil boost his popularity in his quest to b d next pres. of phil. if he cant do it he must do something thru diplomacy

im sure hel do something coz he badly wants to be d next pres. not to mention d "mass" like popularity of binay

TS what do you mean invade? by force?

no need to have people dead in order to negotiate. merge ni sa existing thread TS

[REMBRANDT]

There will be no negotiations
but only forces contending
and conspiring until the more rich
and the poweful among the contending
triumphs in the end.
It would be of interest what would be Uncle Sam's
stance on this, I know they will be consulted first,
we always need a helping hand for we are so hapless.

PH is supposed to be dealing with the much more serious Chinese threat and doing so by presenting a united front with it's neighbors. This arbitrary action by the Kiram makes Filipinos look like pirates and terrorists and we can be sure that this has not escaped China's attention... who will undoubtedly use this conflict to justify their own use of force in the future. The situation could easily wreck an already weak alliance and in my opinion cost us dearly.

[Scott Bernard]

Personally speaking... no.

[æRLO]

there's really just two options there TS...

Diplomacy and Do nothing.

If RP started partisan activity in Sabah--eventually the Philippines will be linked and we become the bad guys in the eyes of the International Community. So no.
We don't have the military to take up any sort of large scale offensive, even more so we don't have a military for occupation purposes. So no.
Blitzkrieg is still a military option, and one which relies in lots of armor and aerial elements. So redundant, and no.

[PaYaSo]

^ and TS even suggests to invade by force to boost the popularity of the DILG secretary.

every move is just in aid of reelection
