To have a centralized system that will provide medical
services for both the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of
the Philippines (AFP) is what President Rodrigo R. Duterte envisions for the
country’s uniformed services.
“I’m quite not comfortable with the arrangement now that ang
Army, kung magpunta sa Air Force at doon magpa-ano, magbayad pa. And the Air
Force in the field, it’s the expense of the Army, for whatever reason for any
event, magbayad na naman, you have to pay inter-branch,” the President stated
in his speech before the Philippine Air Force (PAF) during the 48th Anniversary
of the 250th Presidential Airlift Wing.
“I’d like just to give you one service command para sa
lahat. It would expedite matters and centralize everything,” he disclosed,
saying he intends to undertake this plan and achieve it under his term.
The President proposed that this centralized system should
cover the entire government troops belonging to the AFP and PNP.
“Pati na pulis. Kasi kawawa naman sila kung i-separate mo.
Then we can have an improved V. Luna Hospital also. I will try to give you the
things that you need,” he told the airmen of the PAF.
At the same time, PRRD is now in the process of approving an
extension of the pilots’ quarters even if the government has very limited
budget.
“Wala masyado akong pera ngayon. But I am approving the
extension of the pilots’ quarters. It’s about two million plus. I’m giving it
to you right away,” he said,
He also wants to continue to pursue the modernization program
of the military which was started by the past administrations.
"I am committed to your modernization. And you will get
it, during my time, kasi ‘yung timeline na ipinakita sa amin is within the
timeline of my presidency,” he said.
