Dude,
I smell a World War III. I’m afraid that it will happen very soon. What do you
expect? China is unstoppable and they’re gently taking over the world. Slickly,
they won the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup bidding and the #PUSO was not
effective! And now, they are gradually seizing our sovereignty!
We’re
Doomed!
Absolutely, the Philippines is so way behind when it comes to
its Arm Forces, and don’t forget that the Department of National Defense (DND)
has been a total mess! Our deprived republic doesn't have what it takes to
defeat China when war arises unexpectedly. Ridiculously, P-Noy is a faint-hearted leader!
So
what’s next? Will we just let china bully us? Or will we remain humble and
accept downfall? God! I hate the fact that the Philippines is capably incapable!
What’s
this RAFPMP?
In 2012, the legislative houses and Pres. Aquino approved
the Republic Act 10349 or the Revised AFP Modernization Act, which extended the
existing RA 7898 to enable the upgrading of the AFP to continue with lawful
basis.
Thirty-three ventures are planned to be undertaken in the Revised AFP Modernization
Program (RAFPMP) under the 1st Horizon covering 2013 to 2017. The
projects will be divided resulting to 9 projects for the Army, 10 are for the
Navy and Marine Corps, 11 for the Air Force, and 3 for General Headquarters.
The total amount for all 33 projects is around PhP 90.9 Billion! Yes, you've heard that right. That amount will be spent just to make the modernization successful.
The big question is: Is it worth the effort?
A
doubt in my gut!
There’s nothing wrong with this RAFPMP. Actually, I find
it so cool. It’s just I still distrust that the present administration may not
do it well since the total monetary amount to be spent is too high. How can we
afford such a huge amount? P-Noy can’t even afford to grow his hair, and his countrymen
are starving to death. How would that be possible?
Also,
individuals who are adept on the matter of Philippine defense and security affairs
have been so uncertain on the same ground. Previous military leaders who were
formerly involved in the modernization programs of the AFP are extremely
doubtful too on the regime’s capability to meet its goals. They strongly
believe that the Aquino supremacy can’t efficiently address the country’s outward
threats. I strongly agree with that too. Imagine. They can’t even solve the
internal problems like the Bangsamoro struggles, the tragic death of the Fallen
44, and many more. So now, let me ask you, do you believe that the Philippines can
do it well?
Is
there another choice?
Good!
We are teaming up with the USA and Japan. I can sense that there’s something wrong that’s
going on—a hidden agenda. Our silly country is integrating with the devils!
Whatever! This RAFPMP is so promising but don’t you think it’s too risky and overly ambitious? I have all the reasons why I still consider it blurry. You know, our government walks so slowly and has no definite destination at all. The defense leadership here in our country is so pathetic and the military leaders are scaredy-cats! Most of all, there are tingling whispers invading in my ears that this RAFPMP will just be another root of corruption and personal interest over administrative needs.
I
guess that China is so confident and pleased right now seeing our country peeing
on its pants. It’s a symphony to their ears. Our softness is their gain. I
know, RAFPMP is too grand and likely impossible but we have no other choice
aside from praying. Let’s just wait and see where P-Noy will take us with his promised
right path!
