[elvandesantos]

---

Unsay proof nimo that modernization was in all time high during the Mackoy regime? Or is it the other way around?

santabara project
m41
airforce modernization program
navy modernization
and so on..

....dictatorship? it all happened elsewhere in the world at that era, it just so happens that communism was at its peak that time. martial law? it was the only stopping force. try to read what happened sah atong nasud before martial law (what is really happening).

@noy.juan, can you give this kid any idea what might happened if iron fist was not imlpemented during that time.

DND to purchase P1.7-B worth of body armors



MANILA - The Department of National Defense (DND) will procure P1.76 billion worth of force protection equipment or body armors to minimize casualties of those in the battlefields.

DND assistant secretary for personnel and concurrent DND-Bids and Awards Committee chairman Efren Fernandez said the 44,080 sets of body armors will be for the use of Army and Marine soldiers, most of whom are deployed in war-torn areas.

A pre-bid conference will be held on Feb. 14 at the DND-BAC conference room in Camp Aguinaldo. The deadline for the submission of bids will be on February 28.

Fernandez said the procurement will be via an open competitive bidding process using a non-discretionary "pass-fail" criterion as specified in the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the Government Procurement Act.

"Bids received in excess of the ABC (Approved Budget for the Contract) shall be automatically rejected at the bid opening," he explained.

The bidding will be open to all, whether local or foreign firms, he stressed.

The winner will have to deliver the equipment within 365 calendar days from the opening of the letter of credit.

AFP spokesman Col. Arnulfo Marcelo Burgos said: "This is in line with our thrust to minimize casualties. This is a big development. We value human resources, that's why we put premium to their protection while they conduct security operations.”

Philippine Navy Eyeing Anti-Submarine Copters

"MANILA, Philippinee --- The Department of National Defense (DND) is looking at equipping three naval helicopters due for delivery in 2014 with anti-submarine gears to further enable the aircraft to detect intruders in Philippine waters.

A senior defense official was referring to the three AugustaWestland AW109 naval helicopters, the contract of agreement of which was signed Dec. 20 last year. With a net price of P1,337,176,584, the three rotary wing aircraft are expected to be delivered to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in 2014.

Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin had earlier said that the acquisition of these naval helicopters is one concrete step toward the fulfillment of the government’s goal of modernizing the Philippine Navy (PN), and the AFP in general.

This early, a DND official said they are considering the installation of anti-submarine equipment to the AW109 helicopter to make it more capable in detecting undersea intruders.

The equipment being considered will include the so-called dipping sonar and magnetic anomaly detection device.

But due to weight constraints, specialized anti-submarine weapons like homing torpedoes will not be fitted. Instead, the helicopters will be used to detect and track the submarine target and forward its location to the two new frigates the country is expected to acquire in the next two years.

The ships, which are expected to be fitted with anti-submarine weapons, will have the job of neutralizing or driving away from Philippines waters these intruders."



It seems the 3 AW109 Power helicopters that we ordered last month will be upgraded to have anti-submarine capability for our upcoming new frigates..

@klayton.... you are at the wrong era of discussion... i put OT on that... and if we discussed it its already OT... if you are bright... you will know... then again... you didnt see the benefit of before the yellow idiot run the country... then you are not bright... there are threads in here that already discussed that... use your effort in searching for that thread and not picking a discussion which is already discussed already...

anyways.... back to topic...

Ah mao ba? OT diay ko? How about you dili diay ka OT when you threw the mud first? I thought blaming is part of remembering history! LOL!

Dawbeh karon mangutana ko nimo and let me rephrase it aron dili ta ma OT, what has the so called "yellow idiots" (referring to Cory and AbNoy) done that was detrimental to AFP modernization that made you curse them for the rest of your life?

Actualy sir Noy daghan pud ko nakita benefits during sa time ni Mackoy but definitely not the AFP modernization. Simple raman ni sir, why don't you prove your point by presenting facts regarding the status of the armed forces from the time he took office until the time he got sick circa 1984..

Ang mu-matter karon kai ang present and future developments.
Pointless na magsige lalis anang history. Niagi na na. Move on na lang gud ta. Lets just show support for a better and modernized military. Please make another thread kai akong nahan mabasahan ani nga thread kai regarding Military Modernization at present and future not the past.

Thank you sa pag post sa image karon pako kita naa diay ta ing-ana nga weapon back then..

This should have been done a long time ago. But the hell with those commies protesting and all. Daghan na threat. Daghan pinoy maayo na sundalo ang problema lang kay way equipment. Kung si Douglas McArthur pa "Give me 10,000 Filipinos and I shall conquer the world!"
