Catapang also added that the modernization has two "horizons". At an P85B budget, the AFP could achieve a "minimum credible defense posture" particularly in defending our countr's territory. "They had initially asked for P40 billion for modernization but were given only around P30 billion" he said.
During an ambush interview, Catapang described that “The second horizon is another P85-P100 billion which will take six years, while the third horizon is P100-P125 billion and another six years for military hardware and also bases development,”.
"They had initially asked for P40 billion for modernization but were given only around P30 billion" he added.
The fact that China has an “overwhelming presence” in the South China SEA, DFA always remind our government about the harassing of fisherman and Navy personnel from Ayungi Shaol that demoralizes our defense credibility.
Go AFP ... continue the AFP modernization that's the only way we can counter China's aggression within our territory... defend our motherland
