Chiến hạm BRP Gregorio del Pilar cuả HQ Philippines By Jim Gomez - The Associated Press MANILA, Philippines — The United States will provide a second warship to the ill-equipped Philippine military as it confronts China in increasingly tense territorial disputes in the South China Sea, a Philippine official said Thursday. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton assured Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin during talks in Manila on Wednesday that Washington would give its longtime ally a second Coast Guard cutter virtually for free some time next year. The first second-hand cutter from the U.S. Coast Guard sailed into Manila in August and became the most modern vessel in the dilapidated Philippine fleet. Clinton assured the Philippine military of intensified U.S. assistance Wednesday when the allies marked the 60th anniversary of the signing of their Mutual Defense Treaty aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer in Manila.

Tôi đề nghị UB bỏ bản đồ VN ra, lấy quần đảo Hoàng Sa thay thế, sẽ có ý nghỉa đúng là Đài Tưởng Niệm Hoàng Sa... Nếu cho đủ nữa nên thêm các chiến hạm tham gia trận Hải Chiến HS năm 1974...
