I was chatting to a couple of Filipino air force pilots in Manila yesterday and they said the Americans were doing an amazing job thus far. They felt pretty bad they had little to work with themselves but that's the Philippines!

So to the last couple of posters, time your crack at the Yanks a bit better. I'd suggest there's a lot of people relying on their help at the moment.

Nice to see the Qatari and Indian C17's on the MNL tarmac too.

And on China. They've screwed up here with their foreign policy through a lack of decency. The Filipinos will most likely be very seriously looking militarizing the former giant US bases on Luzon. I'd expect some interesting developments in the future; beyond an obvious return of American forces we may even see a few flag waving exercises from the Japanese and Indians. Won't that piss off the mainland.
