Magandang umaga!

Anyways, well for the Philippine Navy, the only latest news is the transfer of a Pohang-class ship which will arrive I think 2014 or 2015.

As for Cebu, this is one of the recent news.

Cebu Business Park as model village

Cebu Business Park as model village | Sun.Star

THE Cebu Business Park is being eyed as a model village for low carbon emission.

The Cebu City Council's committees on energy and environment nominated the Cebu Business Park as the focus area for the Low Carbon Model Town (LCMT) Project of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

Councilor Nida Cabrera, chair of the committee on environment, said that Cebu Business Park initiated a clear target of carbon dioxide emission reduction and comprehensive measures to achieve the same for sustainable development.

Among the park's more notable programs are its solid waste management, lighting system, cooling system, and green grass emission management.

Another upcoming project for the Ayala development is the plan to create a terminal for the Bus Rapid Transport once implemented.

The Cebu Business Park is the lone nominee from the Philippines.

Indonesia also has one nominee.

Cabrera said that even if Cebu City doesn't get the LMTC award, at least through the nomination, Cebu City's initiatives and good practices have been acknowledged and recognized by APEC.

The LCMT project was conceptualized during the 9th APEC Energy Ministers Meeting held in Fukui, Japan on June 19, 2010.

The project aims to name cities from Asian countries that have conducted comprehensive measures to reduce Carbon dioxide emissions.

The project carries the theme, “Low Carbon Paths to Energy Security.”

The nomination was done during the APEC energy ministers meetings with Kazutomo Irie, the general manager of the Asia Pacific Energy Research Centre and its members.

Also present during the meeting were representatives of the Department of Energy, Cebu City Traffic Operations Management, Cebu Business Park, Cebu Holdings Inc., Ayala Property and the Cebu Provincial Police Office. Zash del Pilar, USJ-R Mass Com Intern

There is a difference between serious and actually able to enforce it. But from you are saying the 9 line dash is joke to you.

Flexibility is what we want to achieve with the 9-dash line, just as you avoid ratifying UNCLOS. It serves a purpose, my friend. Nothing is joke. We have a reason for every intention we made.

 

[Aepsilons]

The 9 Dash Line is not recognized by any nation besides China. Let that be known. The United States, Japan, Australia, and ASEAN, as well as the EU do not recognize it. Period.

 

[Cossack25A1]

By using ancient documents as basis for the claims, well if China claims the whole sea, then by that "right" alone means Italy should take control of most of the European continent, England (and I mean England only, excluding Ireland and Scotland), Israel/Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Jordan and some parts of Arabian peninsula, Egypt, Libya, Algeria and Morocco as these used to be part of the Roman Empire.

Or Iran has legal claim over what makes up the Middle East, South Asia and parts of Turkey as this used to be parts of the old Achaemenid Empire.

Or Mexico should pursuit reclaiming Texas, New Mexico, American California, Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma because these territories used to be part of Mexico before USA annexed Texas.

...and these three can already ignite a massive war, what more if the other many possible claimants decided to join in the foray.

This is the end logic.

No one, besides China, in the world recognizes their 9 dash claim. No One.

The only thing you achieve is instability and hostility. The next major war can happen next to your house doors. Thank you.

I just read report about how the JMSDF's 1st Escort Fleet is planning to conduct major naval exercises with the US 7th Fleet in South China Sea this coming year.

Interesting developments. Will update later.

Just like our friend, United States of the World, we like to maintain flexibility and predictability near our sea. If there is a flash point, we want to maintain control and can disrupt the fire as we see fit.

How so? You cannot expand further. Do you understand how contained the PLAN is? It has always been susceptible to a pincer strategy , which, has now been realized. Do you understand this?

You had ball, my friend. You just gave it back to us.

Expand further? We are going to extend our military reach and build 5 lighthouses to watch over our properties. LOL

Like I said, you guys do what you want. We will continue to do what we want. Our goal is clear cut. We want to maintain control. Just like the oil rig. We leave on our term and come back on our term. Nobody can threaten us. LOL

What oil rig? Your removed it from Vietnam's waters. No, it is apparent to both U.S.A and Japan that there must be active participation and observation in the SCS.

You didn't pay attention, did you? We basically removed the rig only after we finished our strategy and already announced that we might be back because we indeed found oil there. You can be an observers. You can equip and sell weapons to them. It is your business and your choice and we will continue to do what we want. LOL Don't you get it? We don't care what others are doing in their business and we want others to respect our position and allow us to do our things, so to speak. LOL

LOL. You tell yourself that. In other words your government was pressured by the United States, Japan.
Vietnam has now reclaimed the region and has increased maritime patrol command and control.

Don't you see the strategy, dear friend?

Are you sure you pressure us to leave the oil rig? If we come back, does that mean your pressure is a joke? LOL
