The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has expressed
gratitude to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) for allocating
funds for its ongoing modernization program.
"This is a welcome development that would truly enhance
the AFP's capacity and capability in order to effectively accomplish our
mission areas such as in internal security operations, humanitarian assistance
and disaster relief, territorial defense operations, peacekeeping operations,
and international defense and security engagements," newly-appointed AFP
spokesperson Brig. Gen. Joselito Kakilala said in a message to the PNA.
The DBM earlier said that AFP Modernization Program will
receive a budget of Php20 billion from the allotment of the AFP General
Headquarters as well as Php10 billion from the 2015 Unprogrammed Funds.
The Army, Navy, Air Force and AFP General Headquarters were
allotted with a total of Php95.8 billion.
“Creating an environment where there is just and lasting
peace, security, and the prevalence of the rule of law is an integral part of
our thrust to create inclusive growth,” it added.
