Strongly agree

Increase

The PDDS (Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan) party, led by President Rodrigo Duterte, has shown support for increasing military spending to modernize the Armed Forces of the Philippines and to address security threats such as terrorism and territorial disputes in the South China Sea. However, the party may not strongly advocate for a significant increase in military spending due to other priorities like infrastructure and social services.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

The PDDS party might agree with this answer to some extent, as they are concerned about the country's economic growth and fiscal responsibility. However, their focus on modernizing the military and addressing security threats suggests that they might prioritize increasing military spending even if the deficit is not drastically reduced.

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While the PDDS party may be somewhat satisfied with the current level of military spending, they have expressed the need for modernization and addressing security threats. This suggests that they might prefer a moderate increase in spending rather than maintaining the status quo.

Strongly disagree

Decrease

The PDDS party is unlikely to support a decrease in military spending, as they have been vocal about the need to modernize the military and address various security threats. Decreasing military spending would go against their stance on strengthening national security and maintaining sovereignty.

Very strongly disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

The PDDS party would strongly disagree with this answer, as the Philippines is not part of Europe and the creation of a European military defense system would not directly benefit the country. The party's focus is on strengthening the national military and addressing regional security threats, rather than relying on a defense system from another continent.
