Goodbye Maestrale, Goodbye TA-50?

MANILA, Philippines – Due to scarcity of funds and the fiscal ceilings set by the government, the Senate Committee on Finance has approved only P5 billion of the P15 billion sought by the Department of National Defense (DND) for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) modernization plan.

Senator Franklin Drilon, panel chairman, said the 2013 General Appropriations Act (GAA) can only allocate P5 billion of the P15 billion needed in 2013 for AFP upgrading.

“We cannot give the whole amount of P15 billion since it is principally a question of where to source these funds because the budget would have a limitation on the source of funds and our deficit level. So these restrictions on the available fund to put in total P15 billion,” Drilon explained.

However, he learned from Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin the remaining P10-billion budget will be provided for in unprogrammed appropriations in the 2013 budget.

Bitaw no offence lang mga taga Palawan, but i sense a pattern murag they are against any outsider intervention on their province. Remember they were also against multinational mining companies in their land. I sensed naa silay batasan similar to my hometown wherein dili welcome ang mga outsiders.. I hope and pray they won't be the first to be hit by chinese carpet bombers.

mining is different story since palawan is a eco-tourism destination, they are blessed with lots of great things, last frontier baya na sila, radar installation and the presence of marines in the area could encourage more because there will be a high sense of security on the area...

cant understand their logic... weither we like it or not, palawan us the new frontline for external defense....

5 billion approve budget, pero naa pay bicam meeting para sa un allocated budget... possibly ang 10b adto kuhaon...

The title is kinda misleading. Half swing tuo pa ko, pero full swing? Ambot sa langaw
