00:00Muling tiniyak ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang suporta ng kanyang administrasyon para patuloy na mapalakas ang kakayahan ng Philippine Air Force.
00:08Samantala, ilang kagamitan naman ang kailangang isama para maging full package ang Multi-Role Fighter Jet Acquisition Program na bahagi ng AFP Modernization.
00:18May report si Patrick De Jesus.
00:19Nais ni Defense Sekretary Kibot Yudoro na maging full package ang Multi-Role Fighter Jet o MRF Acquisition Program para sa Philippine Air Force.
00:31Dapat anya 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.
00:43A 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.
00:56We need tankers and we need sustainment.
01:00I know the expectations of our people, but it is my responsibility to make sure that each peso spent can be supported and justified.
01:15Aminado naman si Teodoro na isa sa hamon ng pondo para sa pagbili at pag-maintain ng Multi-Role Fighter Jets.
01:21Kaya't nakikipag-ugnayan siya sa Department of Finance at Department of Budget and Management at kinokonsidera ang syndicated loan at iba pang alternatibong revenue source.
01:32Ako ready, ako mag-desisyon eh.
01:35Ang pagkukunan ng bayarin at yun ang pinag-uusapan namin.
01:42It is easy to buy and make the first tranche. However, what we do not want is to buy, have orders, have deliveries, and not being able to use them for their optimal use.
01:59And just have them flying air shows. That we will not countenance.
02:05Noong nakaraang taon ng aprobahan ni Pangulong Ferdinand Aram Marcos Jr. ang MRF Acquisition Program bilang bahagi nang nagpapatuloy na modernisasyon ng Philippine Air Force.
02:16Sa 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.
02:28Habang umaasa ang taong bayan sa inyo, kayo naman ay may maaasahan sa administrasyon nito.
02:35Bilang inyong Commander-in-Chief, titiyaking kong buo at tapat ang suporta at malasakit ko sa inyong lahat na Philippine Air Force.
02:48Pinuri 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.
03:00I say this with great pride, the Philippine Air Force is a force on its own right. It is a credible, agile, essential to our country's aerospace defense.
03:12Bilang tugon, ipinangako ng Air Force na pagtutunan din ang external defense alinsunod sa mandato ng Pangulo.
03:19To our Commander-in-Chief, Sir, when you challenge the armed forces to realign and sharpen our focus towards territorial defense,
03:29we understood the gravity of your mandate and the urgency of your vision.
03:33Together, we fly farther not just to defend the skies, but to shape a future where our Air Force stands ready, relevant, and resilient.
