A reply to claims of exaggeration in ‘PHL: The most dangerous land on the planet’

To the guy at GMA News Online who got upset because I called the Philippines the most dangerous land on the planet, I herein present Exhibit A.
 

If we are not prepared, on the ground, it is not because the technology is lacking. It is because the human mind is not properly focused. On the ground. On the most dangerous land on the planet.

The place we happy fools call home.

The headline of this article [is] more exaggerated [with] what mr. joe america's plain and simple explanation "Other lands are better at destruction with bombs and guns, but the Philippines occupies the most dangerous land." Occupies the most dangerous land does not tagged [sic] you as the Phil: the most Dangerous Land on the planet but perhaps more than others perspective. 

 

[My] opinion, i think the writer make unintentional mistake in putting the adjective word in order to have more impact news otherwise the proof reader maybe mistakenly skipping that word without reviewing the implication of the context.
 

[L]abeling the place base on observations and or solid accounts do not guarantee that will implies as perfect conclusion. — KDM, GMA News
