"Ayungin Shoal should be seen by the Philippines as the proverbial line in the sand. There should be no retreat. Ayungin must not be given up as it will lead to making the Kalayaan Island Group untenable. Doing so will also lead to demoralization in the Philippine military and subsequent loss of national will to defend if the government continues to resort to withdrawing in the face of Chinese pressure." "On the matter of Bajo de Masinloc/Scarborough Shoal, it must not be allowed by Manila to turn into a dagger pointing at the throat of the Philippines given its proximity to its centers of gravity in Luzon such as the capital city, airports and ports in the National Capital Region and Central Luzon. Any military officer versed in military affairs would find that easy to discern not unless he specialized in business administration. Eventually Manila must muster the political will and courage to steam back to that shoal and face off once again with the Chinese and frustrate what they are doing there. What China is doing to the Philippines at Ayungin must be done by Manila to the Chinese at Bajo de Masinloc. China will not withdraw there even if there is a favorable ruling for the Philippines from the international tribunal on the arbitration case." For Palawan, we will be the first target of an invasion, if there will be one. Securing the island of Palawan will ensure the nine-dash line. Palawenos should be vigilant and ready to stand their ground in the event of an invasion... or else, start learning how to speak Chinese....
