Randy :

Shooting war? No, nothing of that sort. However, there will be a turkey shoot. There's nothing in the PH military arsenal that can shoot back and hurt the Chinese. The Filipinos would rather spend their money on anything else rather than spend for a decent military. So if war happens, they will be the turkey in the shooting.

The Philippines was a Spanish colony for 333 years. Spain robbed and exploited the Filipinos and did not develop it at all. Then the Philippines became an American colony for 48 years, again it was exploited and the US did not develop it but merely used it as a military base. The Philippines should ask China to colonise it and turn it into a Chinese province, then China will bring economic development to the Philippines.
