Philippine Army Modernization Program

Hello people,

I'm not really into my country's stuff but this, this is something I'm very interested in. Philippines has one of the weakest military, in terms of equipment, in Asia. Especially mentioning that we don't have tanks, modern fighter jets and modern destroyers. Well, we were able to purchase 2 refurbished ships from the U.S. but that's not enough to leave the rank as one of the weakest militaries. And so I will categorize them in this order: Air, Sea and Land.


But before we proceed, let me explain what the Modernization has to offer or what it really according to what I have understood. The First Horizon budget was P90.86 Billion ($2,029,008,162.03| RATE: 1 USD=44.78 PHP). Now for the Second Horizon, they are targeting for P600 Billion ($13,398,689,161.53). That's huge, well for our country that is. It would be much better if they used the money from a certain "barrel" to add up for a bigger budget. With that, let us proceed with the real stuff.
