Philippine Military

The under-funded military, poorly trained, and conflictingly commanded are in the field fighting three wars - against Filipino Communist revolution, against Filipino Muslim insurgency and against a vicious band of Filipino terrorists called Abu Sayyafs.
As if that were not enough the military is also preoccupied with a fourth war that seems just as intractable. Indeed, within its own ranks, Filipino soldiers are fighting each other seeking to acquire higher rank for a higher pay.
Thanks, however, to our Christian values and beliefs in this famous Christian country in Asia, even our men and women in the military hate each other for the love of God. Poch Suzara
