I bet they wish they were water cannoned
I think this is all an act by the Pinoys not to lose too much face domestically. They were probably running low on supplies, but those ppl on stretchers were probably acting.Seems like they were low on both food and water, the level of dehydration was serious enough that four people had to be air lifted.
Next thing you'll be telling me to respect the injured IDF soldiers who were just carrying out genocidal orders, or the American sailors who fled from exhaustion in the Red Sea cause they have real families and stuff.A reminder that whatever the side or the politics at hand are, people directly involved have to follow their orders to the best of their abilities, and try to endure, whatever the odds.
From both sides of the dispute, these are real people, with families, loved ones, people they care deeply about. Their duty and professionalism shows, and puts them into situations that can be nerve wracking and outright deadly. Respect is due.

I cannot believe that the Philippine Coast Guard did not have reverse osmosis units available to desalinate sea water for drinking. At the very least they should have life boats with reverse osmosis (RO) units available for scavenging. Who would go to sea for an extended period of time without an RO unit or two?

You have to ask Japan why they didn't installed one for this ship, beggars can't be choosers, if we follow the Japanese Coast Guard procedures, this ship ain't equip for long patrol duration.I cannot believe that the Philippine Coast Guard did not have reverse osmosis units available to desalinate sea water for drinking.

Domesticated Animals vs Parasitic Predators are not the same.For whatever their faults Filipino servicemen weren’t committing genocide so I don’t think the situation is comparable.
