"WASHINGTON – The Philippines needs up to four squadrons (48 of upgraded Lockheed Martin F-16 fighter jets, more well-armed frigates and corvette-size, fast to surface combatant vessels and minesweepers and four to six mini submarines, possibly obtained from Russia, to build a credible defense force in the face of China’s increasing belligerence in the South China Sea, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) said."

Read more here. But if you want to skip just look at these pictures see what they mean.

This list would cost about 1 billion in Aquino's 6-year administration. That's alot for our country but here they are:

Basically 48 these. F-16 (US)


Either 6 to 12 Aermacchi T-346 Trainer (Italy) for Ground-attack

or the Korean (KAI T-50)


Modern frigates...


and Fast-to-Surface combat vessels


Six mini-submarines from Russia (probably the Kilo class)


Lastly for defense, missile systems like the AGM-84 Harpoon.





This statement was rather defining. Since it was Cory Aquino's administration that the Americans were outed there might be a possibility it'll be Noy2x who will bring US bases back.

"Given the economic and political stakes in ensuring that all East Asian countries maintain unimpeded access to the sea lanes near the Philippines, both those nations and the United States now share a real interest in the success of the AFP modernization.

The timing is also fortuitous, the article said, because “the United States now has a pragmatic partner in President Aquino who has proved his intention to invest in national defense and is willing to rise above nationalist resentments from the bases era.”

The Philippines booted the Americans from Clark Air Base and Subic Bay in 1992."
