[edit] Hyperlink

What is with the blacklisted hyper link that disables editing of the page? Contralya 04:32, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

The "invisionfree.com" forum site has recently been added to the Spam blacklist. I have removed a link to a forum found there from this article, so editing can continue. I have no opinion on whether the site should be blacklisted, so please don't take my removal as a statement either way: I merely wanted to continue editing. Thus, of course, I have no prejudice against adding the link back to this article, should it be removed from the blacklist, or whitelisted.

[edit] Edit protection needed

Somebody needs to put edit protection temporarily in this page. The Philippines does not have F-18 Hornets, so does that F-35. STOP THIS MADNESS NOW! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.182.155.230 (talk) 01:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Romanian trucks

Is it true that the PA acquired Romanian trucks in the 1970s? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.72.115.209 (talk) 09:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe. I`ll go look up on it.

No they didnt —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.90.48 (talk) 05:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Russian Trucks

The Philippine Army does in fact use Armored trucks aquired from Russia 2 years after the Soviet Union. I`ve been inside one once. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.236.166.250 (talk) 03:34, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

How many and do you have a reference? Do you think they deserve to be placed under "Major equipment"? --Edward Sandstig (talk) 07:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pilipino

Bakit waláng bersyóng Pilipino ang itóng lathalà? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.107.159.125 (talk) 09:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MSSR, Floro Mk.9, FN MINIMI, M24 Chaffee

• MSSR - Please provide references that the MSSR is widely used by the Philippine Army --Edward Sandstig (talk) 06:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• Floro Mk. 9 - Please provide references that the Floro Mk.9 is widely used by the Philippine Army --Edward Sandstig (talk) 06:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• FN MINIMI - The M249 is the version of the MINIMI which is most widely used in the Philippine Army. If there are individual examples of FN MINIMIs in the AFP, then it isn't necessary to list them as a major weapons system. --Edward Sandstig (talk) 06:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• M24 Chaffee - These are no longer in service, and Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a source. --Edward Sandstig (talk) 06:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Evidence of Philippine army using Floro Mk. 9

For evidence that the Philippine army uses Floro Mk. 9s lookup The Unnoficial Philippine Defence Page[1]. If you want lookup this website [2] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.118.180.86 (talk) 04:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Read it and there is NOTHING about the Philippine Army using it. It says the Philippine Navy, Philippine Marine Corps and the AFP's Anti-Crime Task Force uses it, nowhere is it stated that it is in wide-spread use in the Philippine Army. --Edward Sandstig (talk) 08:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh ok sorry. (I didnt know that the Philippine navy uses them) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.236.166.250 (talk) 03:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Does the Philippine Army use Russian tanks?

Question to anybody who knows: My daughter (Yulia) asked me that if the Philippine army uses Russian tanks. Im not sure either so she got me wondering as well. Anyway does the Philippine Army use Russian tanks (incase ur wondering my daughter and wife are Russians and yes Yulia is intrested about military forces)? PS: Im Filipino. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.37.68.58 (talk) 04:27, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

No, the Philippine Army does not use Russian tanks. The closest thing the Philippine Army has to tanks these days are the British Scorpion light tanks. --Edward Sandstig (talk) 10:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah the Philippine Army uses Russian tanks. They use the T-72s so tell ur daughter yes the Philippine Army do use Russian tanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.109.90 (talk) 04:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Proof? --Edward Sandstig (talk) 11:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] LVT-5 removed because the vehicle is operated by the Marines, not the Army

I have once again removed the LVT-5 from the list of vehicles operated by the Philippine Army because they do not operate the vehicle. The vehicle is operated by the Philippine Marine Corps, as stated in the sources that were cited. Please, if you're going to add something to this page, read and understand the sources you're using. --Edward Sandstig (talk) 06:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Evidence of Phillipine Army use of the Desert Eagle?

I haven't seen any evidence of teh Phillipine Army (or any other military force) using the Desert Eagle. Anyone have a link to establish otherwise? 198.185.182.253 (talk) 18:00, 24 April 2008 (UTC)R. Randall

[edit] Third lieutenant

Is there anyone out there who has a photo of the insignia of a 3rd lieutenant of the colonial army (Philippine Army)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.69.66.172 (talk) 11:02, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question?

I dont know if this is the place to ask but since the US and the Philippines are allies do u think that if for example Cuba, Iran or China invades the US and the US asks the Philippine Army for help do you think that the Philippine Army can help the US fight? Just wondering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.93.131.58 (talk • contribs) 04:22 Jun 4, 2008 (UTC)

Possibly. I mean if the Philippines was able to help the US in Korea ,Vietnam, Kosovo and Iraq the Philippines can certainly help the US fight in the US so maybe yeah we can help ur country but then again if Cuba, Iran or China invades ur country you might not even need us because you would have help from your NATO allies, Russia and South Korea. You Americans could also just fire Nukes at them. PS: This wasnt the place to ask this question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.90.48 (talk • contribs) 02:39 Jun 7, 2008 (UTC)
