Philippine Navy Projects - DELAYED
According to a recently published report by Frances Mangosing of Inquirer.net,
The schedule of the anticipated procurement of two landing docks, eight missile-capable fast attack interdiction craft (FAIC-M), and six offshore patrol vessels has been adjusted due to the pandemic, Chief of Navy Vice Adm. Giovanni Carlo Bacordo told INQUIRER.net
Although no contracts have been signed yet for these programs.
Bacordo said that based on the original timetable, the first two of the eight missile-capable fast attack interdiction craft FAIC-M would have arrived in the latter part of this year. While the first of two landing docks would have been delivered in 2021, as well as the first of six the OPVs.
The projects, however, are now seen to be delayed by more than one year as a result of the economic fallout from the pandemic.
The Navy chief said a “phase-in, phase-out” plan would have been implemented, which meant old ships would be retired as new vessels come in.
“As soon as the landing docks are in, phase out the landing ship tanks. As soon as the FAIC-Ms are in, phase out the small patrol boats and patrol craft,” Bacordo said.
“As soon as the OPVs are in, phase out the patrol craft escort and minesweeper frigates,” he added.
The defense department was one of the agencies that suffered drastic budget cuts as the national government diverted more funds from programmed appropriations to COVID-19 response.

Philippine Air Force (Ground-Based Air Defense System) APPROVED
The Philippine government’s Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has approved funding for the procurement of a ground-based air defense (GBAD) system for the Philippine Air Force (PAF), according to a recently released budgetary documentation.
In a ‘Special Allotment Release Order’ (SARO), the DBM said the PAF’s ground-based air defense project has been allocated PHP2.39 billion (USD48.4 million). It said the funds were approved and released under a Special Allotment Release Order issued to the Department of National Defense (DND) in mid-June.
According to the DBM, the Special Allotment Release Order provides approval for procurement agencies such as the DND to sign contracts with vendors.
In January this year, Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the PAF intended to meet its ground-based air defense requirement through the procurement from Israel of the Spyder self-propelled surface-to-air missile (SAM) system made by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.
The procurement has been prioritized by the Philippines for several years to boost the PAF’s air defense capability and is included under the second phase of the Revised Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Modernization Program (RAFPMP).
