AFP Modernization in Full Swing

Correct me if I'm wrong pero na noticed nako mas paspas na lagi ang acquisition karon if you compare it with the past 3 administrations.. Good sign na ni.. If they really want to achieve the desired force mix by 2020..

Basin tungod sad ni sa conflict sa China. I believe nga naa say influence ang US ug lain countries like Japan and Korea para i push ang Phil Govt nga mag upgrade, which some help from them...

But its a good development sad..

i think they should put military grade radars first as a priority sa duha ka whec na ilang gi aquired kay domain awareness man kaya ilang plano , so more or less as blinded ni cya like sa Rajah Humabon. frigate pa gyud ilang classification na more on off shore patrol ang capability.Forget missile or offensive capability kay no money no political will.

Gregorio Del Pilar frigates to undergo 'SLEP'

From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 13): Gregorio Del Pilar frigates to undergo 'SLEP'

To ensure that the two Gregorio Del Pilar frigates will continue serving the country as long as possible, the Philippine Navy (PN) announced that the two vessels will undergo the so-called "service life extension programs" (SLEP).

The latter refers to the systematic upgrades to the warship's power-plant, navigation, weapons system, communication, and hull.

This has the effect of making the ship serviceable for much longer period of time.

Lt. Cmdr. Gregory Fabic, PN spokesperson, said that the two Gregorio Del Pilar frigates in Philippine service, BRP Gregorio Del Pilar (PF-15) and BRP Ramon Alcaraz (PF-16), will undergo SLEP upon serving the Navy for a specified number of years.

The upgrades will make the ship at par with other modern vessels being fielded by other navies.

SLEP will also ensure that the PN will have these ships in service much longer.

It is also a cheaper alternative.

Fabic added that ships constructed during the 1960s up to present are easily upgradeable due to their modular construction.

The two Gregorio Del Pilar frigates in PN service had their keels laid up during the early part of the 1960s.
