    INDO-PACIFIC New Milestones in the Modernization of the Philippine Navy OE Watch Commentary: Philippines officials are calling 2018 a “banner year” for the modernization of the Philippine Navy. The accompanying excerpted article, published by the Philippine News Agency, offers an overview of some of the navy’s benchmarks reached over the past year. In short, according to the article, the navy officially entered the missile age and demonstrated an ability to sail beyond its territorial waters. On 21 November 2018, the navy’s formal entry to the missile age was marked by the firing of two newly-acquired Rafael Advanced Defense Ltd. Spike-ER (extended range) surface-to-surface missiles from three multi-purpose assault crafts (MPAC) reportedly constructed by Subic-based Propmech Corporation. Despite rough seas, guided through modern technology, both hit their targets. The Spike-ER system arrived in the Philippines in April 2018 and, having a range of eight kilometers, is the country’s first missile weapon capable of penetrating 39 inches of rolled homogeneous armor. The MPACs are high-speed naval craft capable of exceeding 40 knots. Their missions can include patrol and fire support for troops. They can be armed with missiles, and machine guns, including remote controlled .50 caliber machine guns that are ideal for anti-piracy missions. The Philippine Navy currently has only nine MPACs, with another three expected to arrive over the next 12 months; however, according to Vice Admiral Robert Empedrad, the navy’s flag officer in command, another 42 would be optimal to enhance the navy’s capabilities through swarming tactics, which would enable it to engage larger, more capable ships that pose a threat.

Because of the wide array of benefits that can be gained upon its establishment, socio-economic contributions were taken into consideration using a descriptive survey method of research among the seven MPAs in Lingayen Gulf. Data revealed that members of the fisherfolk organization is dominated by married males, 30-50 years old, high school graduate, with 0-1 child, earns less than 5,000 pesos a month and fishing as the major source of livelihood. They participate “Moderately” in the management but scored “High” on linkaging/networking with other agencies. MPAs contributed “High” on social aspect despite a moderate contribution in recreation. A “Moderate” and “High” contributions were observed for economic and political aspect respectively. Among the socio-demographic profile, only the number of children is significantly correlated with the extent of participation in management but not with linking with other agencies. It is further revealed that participation is a good predictor of socio-economic contributions.
