LTCOL Arevalo interviewed on ANC Headstart..

Arevalo: We have more than 32 sea vessels but are not ready for sea due to repairs. The 32 are ready for sea but most are WWII vintage.

Arevalo on the leasing of property: There are offers from those willing to be partners but I'm not yet informed who these groups are.

Arevalo: Navy is 100% behind the chain of command. May nasasangkot in the past sa adventurism but they're not representative of the Navy

Online q: In a scale of 1-10, how ready is the Navy to protect RP? Arevalo: In terms of external aggression, 7

Arevalo: Our approach is to have a board of trustees for modernization. Matters of transparency is priority for Admiral Cortez.

Arevalo: The initial persons who may sit as board of trustees: DND Sec, AFP Chief of Staff, Navy FOIC, others Pres. Aquino may appoint

7 is over rated . For how long it will take for an agrressor to take the whole pagasa island (30 minutes)??The officer is playing safe.but in reality we should not put our guards down...
Address Spratly Island to KALAYAAN ISLANDS, South China Sea to WESTERN PHILIPPINE SEA or Kanlurang Dagat ng Pilipinas.

We should acquire 1 or 2 Missile Boats like the Sa'ar 5 from Israel cost $260 M USD each. or try to revive the " gulaman" deal again to cut costs or anything we can trade....

I think the gulaman deal was already used to buy the S-211s
