The Philippines and Japan agreed for the training of six Filipino naval pilots in three batches. Each batch was composed of 90 hours training on ground and 170 hours aerial training.
The first batch started in November 2016 and ended March 2017.
Moreover, Japanese Defense Minister Onodera conveyed to National Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana at the sidelines of 4th ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting (ADMM) Plus in Clark, Pampanga that instead of leasing, the Japanese government will donated the five TC-90 aircraft.
