Sadly, the envisioned modernization never really gained ground due to several concerns such as lack of funding, circuitous procurement system, devaluation of the Philippine Peso vis-a-vis the American Dollar, the 1997 Asian economic slump, among other factors. In order to address some of the concerns which were experienced in the implementation of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Modernization Act, the proposed Bill advances the following amendments thereto, to wit: 1) fixing the annual appropriation for the AFP Modernization Act in an amount not less than three-tenths of one per centum (0.3%) of the last officially-reported gross national product: 2) as part of the Self-Reliant Defense Posture (SRDP) Program, establishing a continuous research and development program designed to utilize new technology and upgrade existing AFP inventory of equipment and weapon systems; 3) expanding the sources of funding for the AFP Modernization Act Trust Fund to include the proceeds from the lease and/or joint venture agreements and such other dispositions pertaining to former military camps; 4) adopting a simplified Defense Acquisition System which shall be separate and distinct from the procurement system applicable to other departments

To serve as the cornerstone of Philippine defense policy, this will guide the future direction of the DND in its mission of upholding our country’s security, sovereignty and territorial integrity. I assure the Filipino people that the government is serious in finding solutions to address the numerous defense issues confronting us. We will build on our past gains to further strengthen our capabilities and ensure the continuous modernization of the military.

  • 'And' Development: a Case Study of the Philippines
    CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE AND SECURITY PhD Thesis Academic Year 2016 Ava Patricia Avila - Goldman DEFENCE ‘AND’ DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY OF THE PHILIPPINES Supervisor: Professor Ron Matthews August 2016 ©Cranfield University, 2016. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT In the security spectrum, there is a blurring line between defence and development. In both traditional and non-traditional security situations, such as counterinsurgency and natural disasters, the armed forces has been called to respond in ways other than their mandate of physical protection in order to attend to human development needs. How and when this transition of roles happens has been studied and debated. As the main security institution of a country, militaries around the world have performed duties outside of their defence functions. Their tasks have expanded from maintaining peace and order to including nation-building, economic development, the provision of disaster relief, and engaging in efforts to conserve natural resources. Looking at these extra functions, the Philippines armed forces are no different in performing non-traditional roles. The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is one of the key institutions, which has been at the forefront of the campaign in tackling these domestic challenges. To a certain extent, the mixture of economic activities with combat operations has characterised the military’s different campaigns such as counter-terrorism and counter- insurgency. Involvement in economic functions has been justified on the grounds that it is critical to ‘winning the hearts and minds’ of those living on the front lines, supporting the military’s role in nation-building.

If it is reproduced, the JIPA requests a courtesy line. egun in 2004, the Philippine Defense Reform (PDR) Program affected the entire Philippine defense establishment. Its goal was to create more- capable armed forces. To do that, the PDR required the support of senior Bleaders at all levels of the Department of National Defense (DND) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)—as well as a substantial commitment of people. This article explains why, from a Philippine perspective, senior leaders within the Philippines defense sector felt reform was needed and how it was imple- mented. It also describes how the United States Department of Defense (DOD) partnered with the Republic of the Philippines to implement PDR with a par- ticular focus on defense- force planning and budgeting. Based on observations gleaned from interviews with Philippine officials and the firsthand accounts of the authors, who were involved in the PDR effort from 2004 to 2012, the article highlights several lessons that can be derived from the Philippine experience.
