                    [Title] => Fighter jet purchase from Taiwan shelved
                    [Summary] => The deal for the purchase of 24 F-5E jets from Taiwan has been shelved after China expressed strong opposition to the transaction with the Philippines.


Sources in the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said yesterday the commercial transaction for the purchase of the jets at a very low price reportedly in exchange for the training by Taiwanese pilots here was preempted by media reports.

Vice President and Foreign Affairs Secretary Teofisto Guingona will convene an inter-agency meeting next week to discuss the government’s planned acquisition of planes.
