Have allies, and have credible defense capabilities that can allow you to defend yourself for x amount of days till your allies arrive to help you. I think that is what we are striving to do. Yes it is slow but we are going there. Our navy once all its current orders are fulfilled we can have one of the best fleets in the asean. We are improving our HADR and airlift capabilities by buying more fixed wing assets, radars, our air defense systems just recently arrived, ballistic missles already approved, tanks waiting to be delivered, MRF (no comment but hopefully we will have news soon) and many more. We are doing what we can and it may bear fruit in the years to come.

Build up your army first, most probably you'll spend your money on army and military infrastructure more than on your own people. Build nukes. Buy key people in the Government, make sure they're well fed. Then go crying on to international assembly that you need help. then Repeat.

allies lang din. Imagine a country like Singapore, kahit may mandatory national service sila, I don’t think they would win a full scale invasion without allies since sin laki lang ng syudad?

1. Mandatory military service - bubuo ng isang trained reserve force.
2. Mas maliit ang bansa, maliit ang teritoryong kailangang depensahan. Di kailangan ng malaking logistics

I have been following reviews on war games where the US would fight a smaller country. What I find surprising is how ingenious generals are when it comes to tactics on tackling a US Nacy Fleet.

One general used the mosque prayer broadcast system to coordinate attacks which caught the generals playing as the US off guard and unable to find out how they are coordinating

One general used small suicide attack boats that are hard to hit which destroyed or disabled the billion dollar carriers. This has made the US upgrade their CWIS to open fire on small boats effectively (FYI I believe the Ukranians have tried to do this on a frigate on Sevastopol, the attack helicopters were having such a difficult time destroying the suicide drone boats).

One country has halted the US advance using fast pick up trucks with armor piercing munitions to run behind the flanks of the US in the war on Afghanistan.

Ukraine, is now using drones rigged with droppable bombs to scatter the Russian bodies everywhere. (Ukraine is making significant advances as of today but the world is still watching if Russia would press the big red button since they are losing big time)

I am now wondering how we (Philippines) could potentially defend our country being an archipelago. I find this difficult since we have a weak navy and airforce, in an ongoing civil war with communist rebels and radical muslim elements. Don't get me wrong, I support our soldiers but I am afraid the government has abandoned them by importing outdated Nth hand military surplus meanwhile there is rampant corruption.
Diplomacy dapat main tool for the Philippines. Iba rin effect pag may international pressure coming from much more powerful countries who side with the Philippines
