He said they are still estimating the cost of the radars. Officials have yet to finalize the details of the acquisition plan.

Plan only since last year until now never been materialized the spratly island already swallowed by Chine but your office just planning to acquire radars;?
ReplyDeleteThe Philippine is rich country why should you do to inform public at this way if no intention to acquire some defense materials just speak not possible to acquire because no budget do not say plan, how long you will put the public to staunch;
The country in need of that defense materials urgently but you said only planning?
You better resign and let other people utilized your office.
What good will a radar do if you can't even depend a small parcel of land. Philippines needs a deterrent to protect its sovereignity. Radar wll only tell that the intruders are already in the land that you are trying to protect. But you have nothing to protect that land. You need at ships and jets for overhead cover to say the least. If you don't have it might as well give this land for free.
