DIE HARD III / Herman Tiu Laurel / Daily Tribune / June 30, 2014
While BS Aquino was in Japan shaking hands with Shinzo Abe on the “collective defense” deal against the supposed “aggressor” encroaching on territories on actually disputed China Seas waters, Aquino also met with al-Haj Murad promising to deliver Philippine land and sea territory to the MILF along with seventy-five percent of all economic wealth. That’s the two-faced Aquino, talking anti-China patriotism to the Filipino people while selling out the country to the real aggressors and terrorists — the MILF — who invariably meet with Aquino in the Land of the Rising Sun, Land of the Invaders of the Philippines in the Second World War.
Shinzo Abe talks “collective defense,” obligating Japan, the Philippines, the US and other allies to come to each other’s military aid when either is attacked, with Aquino while Abe has no authority at all. In a survey last June 22, Tokyo Times reported that Japanese public opposition to Abe’s plan rose from 48.1 percent in April to 55.4 percent in June this year. Kyodo News reported 57.7 percent of respondents say they are also against the Abe’s reinterpreting, rather than formally amending, the war-renouncing Japanese Constitution, while only 29.6 percent expressed support. But now Abe’s shaking hands on “collective defense” with Aquino while even the Japanese Diet has denied it its imprimatur.
The US needles China with snide remarks from 6,300 miles away in Washington with every disingenuous report of “Chinese aggression” such as the alleged super-close flyby of Chinese jets on Japanese planes (Japan says 30-meters away, China say 150-meters) or the reclamation of Johnson (Mabini) Reef which from the Chinese point-of-view is its right — and impliedly, a response to the US-Edca (Enhanced Defence Cooperation Agreement) converting the archipelago to one big military base for US aggression in Asia. The other face however, invites China to the biggest US- led multi-national naval exercise in Hawaii, and negotiates sales of US mainland assets by the billions.
While extending cooperative gestures to China, the US hones its war doctrine aimed solely at China, changing from Air Land Battle employed in the attacks on Serbia, Iraq and other past aggressions — to the Air Sea Battle doctrine designed to attack China from the East and South China Sea, overcome the final First Island Chain defenses of China and destroy the command-and-control networks of China inland. China fortified its A2/AD, Anti-Access/Area Denial capabilities with hyper-sonic anti-carrier missiles and the likes, US debates a shift to an “Offshore Control” doctrine to choke China’s economy by blocking off China’s access to trade routes by the 2020 deadline of Obama’s “pivot.”
Japan and the US have more double-faced posturing, like the constant iteration of complaint against China’s ADIZ (Air Defense Identification Zone) when Japan and the US had imposed its own over Japan decades ago, even overlapping Chinese territory. Like them, Aquino too, harps on the island-reclamations and facilities building by China but keeps mum about the biggest real estate developer of the Spratlys, Vietnam which is the largest facilities builder there with 20 facilities. The Philippines itself is building, in Kalayaan, which China cited in its retort to the complaint of the Philippines of violation of the status quo on the Johnson Reef works of China.
China, on the other hand, is straightforward. Even the indefatigable Philippine UNCLoS claims lawyer Harry Roque says, “… China’s acts are consistent with its published defense policy, which currently seeks to achieve ‘sea-denial capability’ in what it considers as its coastal waters, the waters within the so-called nine-dash lines. Clearly, one must commend the Chinese — albeit bereft of legal merits — for their consistency... Given… that contrary to the best hope of Philippine policy makers that US President Obama’s visit to the region will have a deterrent effect… recent events validate China’s design to expel all other claimant countries from the disputed territory on or before 2020...” Roque could have added “only claimants collaborating with the US.”
The Philippines is infected with double-faced ruling class families (switching masks before each colonizer). Aquinos were pro-Japan, now pro-US. Today the two-faced corrupt Aquino government is selectively prosecuting political opponents over “pork” to eliminate opposition the US-inspired cha-cha to pave its way to Sulu Sea oil with the MILF, while Aquino also saves members of his coterie - like Alcala as DA secretary and ERC chair Ducut — even after direct implication by Napoles. Alcala keeps many Aquino secrets and Ducut is untouchable as Napoles’ lawyer hinted on a radio program, because Ducut was allegedly Ochoa and Aquino’s intermediary and bag lady with Napoles.
Meanwhile, Ombudsman Carpio-Morales shed her patrician face and showed the hoodlum-in-robe when she tried to give “state witness” status to Napoles to save BS Aquino from implication by amending the complaints. Mga Doble Cara!
