BRP Del Pilar and BRP Alcaraz should be properly dubbed as our current capital ships, not solely our only 2 warships. Armed ships, irregardless the size, that play support roles are warship

Aquino approves 20,000 more troops for AFP
MANILA, Philippines — President Benigno Aquino III has approved a plan to recruit 20,000 more soldiers. Most of them will go to the Philippine Army, the largest branch of service under the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
"It’s with DBM (Department of Budget and Management). We’re looking into the appropriate ways to fund this," said defense department spokesperson Peter Galvez.
The training requirement will cost P5 billion while the salaries for all 20,000 new posts will cost additional P4 billion annually, based on the approved budget plan shown to Rappler.
"The important thing is the plan is approved," Galvez added. Implementation is pending availability of funds but the plan is to "gradually" fill up the 20,000 posts "within a 3-year period," Galvez said.
"We are simply addressing what should have been addressed long before," Galvez added. "The 20,000 will fill up the troop requirement to achieve a 95% complement of a unit. At present, most of our units are not filled up."
Aquino in his 2013 State of the Nation Address (SONA) talked about the need to augment the country's security forces. "In 1986, there were an estimated 250,000 policemen and soldiers protecting a total of 55 million Filipinos. Today, we still have an estimated 250,000 policemen and soldiers, who protect 95 million Filipinos. Our population has almost doubled; while the number of our protectors has not changed," Aquino said in his SONA.

Irritating China: US increases military assistance to Philippines
The US is increasing its annual military assistance to the Philippines from $30 million to about $50 million, and may provide an additional Hamilton-class cutter to help the island nation build a strong defense against China.
Philippines Foreign Minister Albert Del Rosario told reporters that the increased assistance would mark the highest level of aid provided by the US since troops returned to the Philippines 13 years ago. Since 2002, the US has provided its Asian ally with $312 million in military aid and equipment.
