PH Mulls Over Purchase of Mili

BEIJING --- The Philippine government is considering the acquisition of military equipment, including fast boats and drones, from China’s biggest arms exporter to enhance anti-terrorism and security capability. 

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the government intends to forge a letter of intent with China on Monday to negotiate the possible purchase of military assets, assuring that it would go for quality goods at a reasonable price. 

The possibility of a military purchase was raised after the President met with top officials of the state-owned China Poly Group Corp. and Poly Technologies Inc. on the sidelines of an international trade summit here. 

“It’s not yet a document. It’s a letter of intent to deal with them because they’re offering us a lot — a wide array of defense equipment and a loan from the Chinese government at the tune of about US$500 million,” Lorenzana said in a media interview in Beijing last Sunday night. 

As part of the “letter of intent,” Lorenzana said the government will send a technical working group to China “to look at the equipment and see what we need” this year. Such process of shopping and reviewing the equipment offer will likely take a few months, he added. 

“And after that, we’ll go from there. We are not saying that we will buy from them or we will not buy from them,” Lorenzana said. 

“But if we need anything from the Chinese defense industry then we’re going to procure using the loan that they are offering us,” he added. 

Asked about the equipment being considered, Lorenzana said he would still inquire from the Philippine Army, Philippine Navy, and the Philippine Air Force about the equipment they need. 

“We are not going to choose for them. They are going to choose for themselves, what they need from the Chinese defense industry,” he said.
