Philippines President Aquino vows to modernize Philippine Air Force by 2016

President Aquino vowed to modernize the Philippines Air Force through the purchase of new and modern aircraft from a P75-billion fund before he steps down from office in 2016.
Aquino blamed past government leaders for neglecting the armed forces.
He underscored the need for the PAF to be fully modernized for the government to be able “to defend our territory and make Filipinos feel more secure against foreign intruders, or those who try to shock and pressure them.”
