The only one who has the top of the range kit - yes, even when the PAF is saving the nation with decades old stuff, is .. the Presidential Fleet ..

Only recently PAF obtained some Polish choppers .. which are still third world class, vs the Presidential fleet choppers !!!

The PAF has never bought any of its aircraft, all of them are used aircrafts donated by other nations. Whenever there is news that Mindef is acquiring new aircrafts, the Philippine emissary will visit and ask for the old aircrafts.

Not to worry about that. They may have our junks but whether these junks can be operational or not? Many of the spare parts are extremely difficult to obtain.

in true PH style, advanced technology, you know what ? You must 'turn on roaming' before you leave PH, to receive SMS / calls when out of town, and turn it off when you return to PH

If you forgot it .. too bad

Ask somebody going to PH to 'enable' and bring the sim card back .. as I used to do occasionally when I forgot and know I am not hitting PH shores for the next few months

Most choppers are operational ..

And not to insult PH, but .. in PH, funding is directly balanced - i.e. the Customs revenue goes to School Funding, Airport Tax collection goes to rebuilding Mindanao, Petrol tax goes to fixing airport leak, and sales tax on vegetable (for example) goes to paying building of new road in some island and airline paying for landing fee goes to fixing broken electicity lines etc .. OFW collection goes to fixing Senators lunch room and entertainment fund .. and like that ..

So it is a complicated mess that is woven, so much so, if the 'payee' has less profit or collection, the beneficiary gets lost out ..

And when the PAF's payee, for example, is walloving in money, PAF gets to fix the planes and get spares, and when the payee is not reaching collection target PAF grounds their planes and wait for the 'sunny days'

Same for the Coast Guard, Police, and all.

Heck, even recently when the USS Guardian ran aground, one too many senator gleefully asked that the penalty be increased to 1 billion peso from the 40 million peso fine, so that the Coast Guard can buy new kit and also pay staff better pays .. and it is a golden opportunity, as after all, the US Govt can pay - di ba ?

Comical but it is true ..

Hence my reminder to self, when in PH, refrain from telling natives how the system is so broken, and how it can be fixed, as many natives believe the senators / congressmen and all cannot be wrong - after all, why else would Some power houses like Marcos, JPE, Singson (even after the Junior Singson was caught with drugs in HK) and their croneis be voted in consistantly ?

That's good advice.

Shall bear that in mind whenever I'm there and feel like passing comments about the stupidity of filipino system.

Those troops are not deployed to AC. They are part of the 8000 men war game exercise going on in Subic, I guess the exercise has winded down and they are on R & R. You will not see them after the 17th
