Rotary-winged assets of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) will
get another much-needed boost with the turnover and blessing of eight
Bell-412EP combat utility helicopters and two attack versions AgustaWestland
AW-109Es on Monday.
The ceremonies will be held at Villamor Air Base in Pasay City ,
PAF spokesperson Col. Enrico Canaya said.
He added that Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin will be the
guest-of-honor and speaker for the occasion.
The Department of National Defense signed in March 2014 a
PhP 4.8-billion contract with the Canadian government for the delivery of eight
Bell 412EP
helicopters.
Earlier, another order for eight attack AW-109Es worth PhP
3.44 billion was signed in June 2013.
