Some pics I took.

This is from the AFP exhibit in Cubao, with some crappy pics of the entrance to Camp Bagong Diwa a few hours after the siege that ended the Abu Sayyaf takeover of the prison (I was there... too late but  was there!).  Simbas after that.

These are photos from the AFP Static Display at Plaza San Ignacio in Intramuros the day before Independence Day.

Still have a few more rolls that need to be developed and scanned, though.

Ive been seeing pictures of Simbas armed with 40mm AGLs like these for some time now.

I have noticed that the AFPs simbas, V-150s and V-300s all carry a bank or row of smoke grenade launchers. I was wondering if this same launchers can launch anti-personnel cluster grenades that will explode into hundreds of steel balls???

The needs and interests of the Filipino is primary while that of foreigners is secondary.
However, some Filipinos are still uneasy about this and would rather be the apologists or defenders of foreign interests.

parang ganito ibig kung sabihin:

i'm sure the AFP can develop  grenades that contains hundreds of bulitas(steel balls) that can be launched from the AFP's smoke dischargers. napaka-low tech nito. calling MBLT6 and marines!!
sayang naman yung smoke dischargers00>puedeng gamiting dual-purpose--->firing smoke camouflage or anti-personnel(anti-ambush) grenades.
