wow...8 billion http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/03/28/11...e-near-spratlys MANILA, Philippines - President Benigno Noynoy Aquino III has ordered stronger military presence in Palawan, near the disputed Spratly Islands, by allocating P8 billion for the acquisition of naval and air assets. Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Eduardo Oban told reporters they are now preparing a list of equipment needed, which would include Navy vessels, and Air Force assets like long-range patrol aircraft, and air defense radar, among others. Oban said the P8 billion is "for the initial development of our capability to have more presence in Palawan That's why we are pushing for capability development so we can really safeguard our interest, particularly [in the area]." The oil- and marine-rich Spratly Islands, located west of Palawan, is being claimed in part or in whole by the Philippines, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam. "Perhaps the President saw our long-standing needs in terms of capability in the area," said Oban. Asked if it had something to do with previous incidents there, Oban said: "Our mandate is we have to protect our interest in the area. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/03/28/11...e-near-spratlys |

At last, the government starts to make an action against chinese aggression. 8 billion pesos is a bit low though. Since its not enough to buy a corvette while having ample funds for our air and radar assets, I guess we need a bunch of fast missile gunboats (any suggestions?) and trainer jets that can carry an anti-ship missile or two (can the s211 do it?). |

Remember that the PN and PAF only have $ 184,098,484.94 Million. USD budget for this Palawan, near Spratley Security project to spend on Navy vessels, and Air Force assets like long-range patrol aircraft, and air defense radar, among others. |
