Introduction
The 2nd Quarter of the year saw a leadership transition in the Philippine
Air Force with the assumption of command of its 33rd Commanding General,
LIEUTENANT GENERAL JEFFREY F DELGADO AFP on 25 April 2014. The timing
of his assumption would require the new CG, PAF to hit the ground running so to
speak as PAF plans and programs implementation are in full swing. At the same
time, he has to put his stamp of leadership on steering the Command towards its
vision of a professional and competent Air Force responsive to security and
development as he builds on the successes of the past and present.
Leading and managing the Air Force organization comes under auspicious
times when internal stability, through the IPSP Bayanihan and its whole-ofnation approach, has firmly taken root in most parts of our country while the
Armed Forces assumes a greater role in territorial defense. In this Asia-Pacific
century, the geo-political significance of the Philippines as a maritime nation is
magnified, as the country aspires to attain domestic peace, protect its hardearned democracy, develop its patrimony and improve its economy. The clarion
call is to have a stronger Armed Forces that will to pursue stronger external
defense policy and promote our national interests.
The able leadership of past Commanding Generals has resulted in a
smooth transition and has made the PAF what it is today. The PAF is now a
beacon of discipline, exemplary performance and improved airpower. It was a
gradual transformation replete with thorough planning, hard work and
willpower.
The PAF, through the deliberate efforts of our Senior Leaders and the
unwavering support of our Commander-in-Chief, is poised to become a stronger
Wings of the Nation. The initial delivery starting this year of various advanced
aircraft, new radars and modern equipment will translate to increased
capabilities for air defense, maritime security, and national development. This
defining moment is clearly within midst. As the new Pilot-in-Command of a
17,000-strong Air Force, he vowed to increase back pressure and add more
thrust to propel the organization InSTEP with the defense establishment, the
national government, and other valued stakeholders.
Thus, the Command Framework for the 33rd CG, PAF provides a blueprint
for leadership while serving at the same time a distillation of the leadership
philosophy of the new Pilot-in-Command of the PAF.

Policy Environment and Strategic Guidance

1. National Security Policy 2011-2016
The National Security Policy 2011-2016 is a statement of principles that
should guide national decision-making and determine courses of action to be
taken in order to attain the state or condition wherein the national interests, the
well-being of our people and institutions, and our sovereignty and territorial
integrity are protected and enhanced. The NSP laid down two major goals:
a. Promote Internal Socio-Political Stability
b. Capacitate the Philippines to Exercise Full Sovereignty over its
Territory and to Provide Protection to its Maritime and other Strategic Interests.
2. Defense Planning Guidance and Program 2 Program Objective
Memorandum (POM) 2015-2020
The development of the PAF POM was based on core security concerns
(territorial defense, maritime security, internal security, natural disasters, cyber
security, global peace and security) as well as peripheral security concerns (food,
water and energy security; proliferation of weapons/CBRN explosives) stated in
the Defense Planning Guidance. During the last quarter of 2013, the PAF has
successfully presented the Program 2 Program Objective Memorandum (POM)
2015-2020 to the Chief of Staff and the Secretary of National Defense in pursuit
of the following organizational outcomes:
a.
assured.
b.

Capability to uphold the sovereignty and integrity of the state

Internal stability promoted and sustained.

c. Highest standard of capability and preparedness against disasters

and emergencies achieved.
d.

Security sector reforms implemented.

3. Chief of Staff Operational Guidance

The Chief of Staff published Operational Thrusts and Guidelines on
January 2014 that sets the direction for the next two years, towards which the
Philippine Air Force shall align support plans and mission focus. These cover the
four mission areas defined by the Defense Planning Guidance of the Department
of National Defense. As a force provider, we enable joint operations by providing
forces necessary for both the Unified Commands Operations and supported
national authorities. Understanding the operational thrusts and guidelines,
translating these into Air Force objectives, and accomplishing our tasks not only
ensure mission accomplishment, but also leverages on the unity of objective and
jointness, producing synergy.

Command Philosophy
Guided by higher level guidance, this proposed Command Framework is
founded on three pillars which the CG, PAF enunciated during his assumption
speech:
1. Build upon the foundations laid by predecessors This means
continuity of programs laid down by former CGs, PAF that are constant
elements of Air Force developments such as enhancing professionalism,
ethical standards, discipline and adherence to the rule of law.
2. Prepare the PAF for transformation Even as the Air Force
performs its current operational mandates, it shall at the same time focus
on preparing for its future transformation. This means aligning the
Philippine Air Force Flight Plan with the Department of Defense and
Armed Forces of the Philippines Transformation Roadmaps.
3. Build a competent and professional organization that will ensure
high levels of operational readiness to meet any contingency 24/7- To
this end the PAF will implement capability development approaches that
go beyond equipment acquisitions but also pushes for a broad-based
capability development approach under DOTMPLF-P with priorities
adopting Boyds people, ideas, hardware in that order.

Command Guidance of the 33rd Commanding General, PAF

Command Thrusts
This proposed command framework adopts the acronym SOAR HIGH
PAF for Peace, Freedom and Development which sets the broad policy
direction and thrusts that our organization shall pursue as defined in the
following:
Sustain transformation for Territorial Defense, Internal Security and
National Development
Optimize international defense cooperation and interagency partnerships
Accelerate improvements to force level command and control
Respond rapidly to crises and calamities

Harmonize efforts towards the whole of nation approach

Institute good governance and transformation
Generate superior strategies and doctrines to leverage on air power
Harness talents and expertise

Promote InSTEP and the Rule of Law

Adopt mechanisms for the judicious and efficient utilization of resources
Fast track capability development

SOAR refers to the tasks that the Air Force has to perform in accordance
with its mission areas. Its critical role in the security of the country requires its
focus on core competencies for Territorial Defense, Security and Stability while
improving our capacity to apply these capabilities for Humanitarian Assistance
and Disaster Response (HADR) and International Engagements and Peace
Support Operations. At the same time a key enabler for better operational
responsiveness are improvements in command and control, training and force
development.
Sustain transformation for Territorial Defense, Internal Security and National
Development
Over the past two years, the PAF has gained significant altitude as it
powered up with major capability development programs, strategic initiatives
and reform measures. The momentum must be maintained. During this critical
transition, all airmen must stay the course and maintain back pressure so we
Page 6

Command Guidance of the 33rd Commanding General, PAF

could remain on the right track. The new AFP Modernization Program will
significantly boost our materiel capabilities and we must respond by developing
all other pillars of modernization such as doctrines, human resources, bases and
support systems, and force structure.
Optimize international defense cooperation and interagency partnerships.
The Air Force, for all its capabilities and talents should promote broadbased approaches and solutions to the challenges it faces. We cannot rely on
ourselves alone. To reach our waypoints, we must explore all opportunities to
enhance alliances and partnerships at all levels, both locally and internationally.
We shall therefore take advantage of opportunities for cooperation and mutual
support for mission accomplishment.
Accelerate improvements to force level command and control.
As the PAF more actively performs its role in territorial defense, security
and stability as well as humanitarian assistance and disaster response, it must
ensure that it has the necessary organization, personnel skills, command and
control systems, and support systems to operate effectively as a single service,
jointly, and as part of a combined force.
Respond rapidly to crises and calamities.
The Command shall ensure that it will always be ready to leverage on the
strengths of airpower speed, reach, perspective, flexibility - as the force of first
option to any crisis or calamity. Our response must not only be gauged by our
promptness of action, but by the quality of service we deliver to the victims and
the affected communities. Likewise, we must ensure that everything we have
learned right about saving lives and preventing or minimizing losses must be
brought to bear when the next disaster comes.
HIGH refers to the ways needed to be adopted to achieve the outcomes
we envision: peace, freedom and development.
Harmonize efforts towards the whole-of-nation approach.
The security challenges we face are complex and multi-dimensional and
require the collective efforts of government, the private sector and even the
individual citizen for their successful resolution. Along this line, the Air Force
will push for greater joint and interagency cooperation to ensure that the sum of
our contributions is infinitely stronger than the individual efforts.

Page 7

Command Guidance of the 33rd Commanding General, PAF

Institute good governance and transformation.

The Philippine Air Force has already made great strides toward a more
disciplined, professional and ethical organization. To enable these to solidify as
well as to sustain our developmental efforts, we shall build on past successes by
instituting good governance and transformation initiatives. One particular task is
to align the PAF Flight Plan to the DND and AFP Transformation Roadmaps to
ensure synergy with the whole defense establishment.
Generate superior strategies and doctrines to leverage on air power.
By their very nature, air forces are called to perform ambitious tasks with
limited resources yet time and again, they were able to come up with superior
strategies and doctrines to employ air assets to maximum effect. Recognizing
that victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war,
the PAF will strive to prioritize development strategies and doctrines that would
leverage on air power as an effective instrument of national policy at all levels.
Harness talents and expertise.
At the end of the day, together with our duty to our mission, our
responsibilities must converge on our men and women, particularly on how well
we shall have led, guided and shaped them in our journey. We shall therefore
harness their talents and expertise not only towards mission accomplishment
but also for building the future of the Air Force moving away from a transactionbased personnel management to strategic human resource management and
development. Let us emphasize professional mastery of airpower theory and
education, create a learning organization, and
nurture a culture of
airmindedness. To do these, we shall provide each airman with quality air force
education and training; enhance personnel productivity by ensuring proper jobskills match; nurture a positive organizational culture; and ensure succession of
critical leadership and expertise and better organizational design and
development. Among others, we shall also strive to channel these skills to
strengthen defense self-reliance, research and development and science and
technology, which are the keys to our future.
PAF refers to the internal processes that needed to be adopted or
strengthened to link our ways of achieving our envisioned outcome with our
mission area goals.
Promote InSTEP and the Rule of Law.
A true and noble organization subscribes to the highest standards of
professional and moral values. In this connection, we shall empower air force
Page 8

Command Guidance of the 33rd Commanding General, PAF

personnel by training them to be effective leaders and followers professionally

and ethically, providing mentoring and counseling, emphasizing discipline
formation with mission accomplishment and ensuring their whole-hearted
internalization of the PAF core values.
Adopt mechanisms for the judicious and efficient utilization of resources.
We have made great strides in ensuring the judicious and efficient
utilization of resources from the high implementation rate of our Annual
Procurement Plan to the regular parameters-based unit performance
measurement via QUASAR. In this connection we shall ensure maximum
efficiency in resource allocation and usage. At the same time, we shall also give
due attention to the effective preservation of our assets, human and material by
adopting the philosophy of Mission First, Safety Always in other words
enhancing safety culture at all levels.
Fast-track capability development.
The Air Force is at the cusp of a capability transformation that will see the
arrival of more modern and improved equipment. We shall ensure that these will
be absorbed and be ready in the shortest possible time by fast-tracking
capability development in a systemic approach along the lines of DOTMPLF-P.
Another measure is to ensure that capability employment is effective and
reliable through sustained development of bases and support systems. Likewise
we should give due importance to strengthening our R & D. By focusing on
continuous improvements, we could all simultaneously gain grounds in the five
pillars of our modernization as we generate more efficiencies in our operational
processes. Let us also not forget the future is now!
Peace, Freedom and Development
Simply put, these are the envisioned outcomes of all our operational and
development efforts, whether addressing current or future challenges: a peaceful
and prosperous nation, well-respected by its neighbors.
