The Philippines eyes to acquire its first-ever submarine as the country's military shifts its focus to 'external defense of our borders,' President Marcos said on Friday. The President said there were offers from different countries for the government's acquisition of a submarine. 'There is a plan. But it's still being developed because the commitment to operate a submarine is not a small commitment, it is a very large commitment,' Mr. Marcos said, citing the training, the equipment and the operational requirements involved.
