P-Noy, as he is called in the RP, is the Obama of South East Asia. He won by a huge margin, very popular but a idealist, neophyte and a pu**y like Obama. He kept referring to the UN believing that the Chicoms would play nice. (My sis in law is Fil so I’m updated with RP issues)

One of my friends is half-Filippino and has been talking with some of his family there. They are extremely concerned about the situation, primarily due to the fact that their navy is geared toward counterinsurgency ops in the south, with a little bit of anti-poaching patrols mixed in.

One of Art's uncles is captain of a fishing boat and he has had a couple of encounters with Chinese vessels in what should be Filippino waters. They sweep in, ignoring international laws, and gut the fishing grounds, then take off before the Philippine Navy can arrive. And if the Navy is lucky enough to get there in time, they usually find themselves facing a PLAN frigate or destroyer that "just happened" to be conducting exercises nearby.

From what I’ve heard, P-Noy makes Obama look worldly and decisive. Unlike Obama, I feel sorry for him. He should have stuck to staying at home, living off his family’s savings and building his music collection. At most, he should have finagled a comfy niche in a government department, somewhere. How he got pulled into a leadership position is beyond me.
