According to RR, while she agrees with Jaime's statement about teaching the children to love their own country, she did mention that it is not enough.

"If you don’t know how to fight how can you defend your country? In the Bible, ang mga bata at the age of 12 (if I’m not mistaken, tinuturuan na sila) and I believe even until now mandatory yan sa Israel. If magkaroon ng gyera, your love won’t defend you… And hindi porket walang gulo or walang gyera sa ngayon, magpapaka complacent na tayo."

RR continued by mentioning the "langgam mentality" in her post and even went as far as to mention Cardo Dalisay, the protagonist of Ang Probinsyano.

"Gayahin natin ang langgam mentality... Nag-iimbak na sila ng pagkain habang wala pang bagyo. Para in times na dumating ang ulan or bagyo, handa sila. Hindi po tayo katulad ni Cardo na hindi mamatay-matay."
