00:00Ang pinuri ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang Philippine Air Force kasabay ng pagdiriwang ng ikapitumput walong anibersaryo nito.
00:09Piniyak ng Commander-in-Chief ang patuloy na pagsuporta sa PAF sa ilalim ng kanyang administrasyon.
00:16Samantala, ilang kagamitan pa ang kailangang isama para maging full package ang Multi-Role Fighter Jet Acquisition Program na bahagi ng AFP Modernization.
00:27Yan ang ulat ni Patrick De Jesus.
00:30Nais ni Defense Secretary Gibot Yodoro na maging full package ang Multi-Role Fighter Jet o MRF Acquisition Program para sa Philippine Air Force.
00:41Dapatan niya nakasama rito ang Airborne Warning and Control System Aircraft at Mid-Air Refueling Platform para matiyak na magiging tunay na efektibo ang pagkakaroon ng MRF.
00:52A lot of countries have experienced the fact that they are realizing that they need AWACS, notwithstanding the fact that their satellite capability is not enough.
01:05We need tankers and we need sustainment.
01:09I know the expectations of our people but it is my responsibility to make sure that each peso spent can be supported and justified.
01:24Aminado naman si Teodoro na isa sa hamon ng pondo para sa pagbili at pag-maintain ng Multi-Role Fighter Jets.
01:31Kaya't nakikipagugnayan siya sa Department of Finance at Department of Budget and Management at kinokonsidera ang syndicated loan at iba pang alternatibong revenue source.
01:41Ako ready, ako mag-desisyon eh. Ang pagkukunan ng bayarin at yun ang pinag-uusapan namin.
01:52It is easy to buy and make the first tranche. However, what we do not want is to buy, you know, have orders, have deliveries and not being able to use them for their optimal use and just have them flying air shows.
02:10That, we will not countenance.
02:15Noong nakaraang taon ng aprobahan ni Pangulong Ferdinand Aram Marcos Jr. ang MRF Acquisition Program bilang bahagi ng nagpapatuloy na modernisasyon ng Philippine Air Force.
02:26Sa pagdiriwang ng ikapitumputwalong anibersaryo ng PAF na pinangunahan ng Pangulo, tiniyak niya ang patuloy na pagsuporta ng kanyang administrasyon para palakasin pa ang kanilang kapabilidad.
02:37Habang umaasa ang taong bayan sa inyo, kayo naman ay may maaasahan sa administrasyon nito.
02:45Bilang inyong Commander-in-Chief, titiyaking kong buo at tapat ang suporta at malasakit ko sa inyong lahat na Philippine Air Force.
02:54Pinuri at kinilala naman ang Commander-in-Chief ang kahandaan ng PAF sa pagtugon sa kanilang tungkulin, kagaya ng pagresponde sa mga kalamidad at pagprotekta sa airspace ng bansa.
03:09I say this with great pride, the Philippine Air Force is a force on its own right. It is incredible, agile, essential to our country's aerospace defense.
03:21Bilang tugon, ipinangako ng Air Force na pagtutunan din ang external defense alinsunod sa mandato ng Pangulo.
03:28To our Commander-in-Chief, sir, when you challenge the armed forces to realign and sharpen our focus towards territorial defense, we understood the gravity of your mandate and the urgency of your vision.
03:43Together, we fly farther not just to defend the skies, but to shape a future where our Air Force stands ready, relevant, and resilient.
