The Philippine Navy is very much thankful for the continued support of the commander in chief

The Philippine Navy (PN) expressed gratitude to President Rodrigo Duterte for his continued support to its ongoing modernization program, which allows it to acquire equipment and platforms that boosted its minimum credible deterrence capability.

This, as the Chief Executive is slated to deliver his fourth State Of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 22.

“The Philippine Navy is very much thankful for the continued support of the commander in chief. Within his incumbency, the Navy has acquired new and state-of-the-art equipment that boosted its capabilities for the country to have minimum credible deterrence,” PN spokesperson Captain Jonathan Zata said in a message to the Philippine News Agency.

Through Duterte’s support, the PN was able to complete the acquisition of the Spike-ER (extended range) surface-to-surface missile system, now installed on three of the newly-acquired multi-purpose attack crafts (MPACs), along with a battery of brand-new Elbit-Soltam 155mm howitzers for the Philippine Marine Corps, the PN spokesperson stressed.
