During the Presidential campaign last year, our president told media reporters that buying an f-16 multirole combat aircraft is a waste of money. But in reality the F-16 Fighter jet he mentioned was not an F-16, it was a Korean Fighter jet the FA-50 Fighting Eagle.
But even before he became a President, our armed forces already planned to acquire fighter jet aircraft as part of AFP Modernization program.
Last Year, the Jas-39 Gripen of Sweden was considered as the main contender of Philippine airforce Multi-role Combat Aircraft procurement.
