MANILA, Philippines - Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. believes that the P5 billion allotted yearly for modernizing the Armed Forces is not enough to buy fighter planes and attack helicopters for the nation’s defense.
Another C-130 cargo plane would be put into operation this month after undergoing repair to fill in the gap left by the one that crashed in the Davao Gulf last week, Philippine Air Force chief Lt. Gen. Pedrito Cadungog said yesterday.
