Lalo pang palalakasin ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ang Philippine Air Force.
Sa mensahe ng Pangulo sa ika-75 anibersaryo ng PAF sa Clark, Pampanga, sinabi nito na kailangang madepensahan ang soberenya ng bansa.
“The ongoing defense modernization effort is in coordination with the basic prerequisites that would complement this administration’s vision for a stronger, bigger, and effective Air Force capable of defending and maintaining our sovereign state, and of assisting our people in times of dire consequences and today’s reality that this dictates,” pahayag ni Marcos.
Kailangan aniya ang moderno at makabagong kagamitan.
“A more modern, aerial, and surveillance capability is all the more felt given the territorial disputes that we in the Philippines are involved in. This enhanced capability is also proven to be very critical in the Philippine military’s efforts to protect the nation from local communist insurgents and the extremist groups in the south,” pahayag ni Marcos.
“Transport aircraft, helicopters and the like, are important facilities that only the Philippine Air Force can suitably and sufficiently provide, especially during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations,” dagdag ni Marcos.
