The Armed Forces of the Philippines has updated its military acquisition plan in line with its ongoing equipment modernization program and submitted it for approval to President Marcos. The AFP wish list had to be updated after several multiphase projects totaling almost P300 billion for Horizon 2—the second in the three-phase military capability upgrade program covering the years 2018 to 2022—were stalled due to funding issues. Horizon 3, or the final phase that started this year and would run until 2028, consists of equipment geared for external defense.
