The chief executive in his speech paid tribute to the Air Forces achievements
through the years despite limited equipment.
He noted what he claimed was the sad state of the Air Force when he assumed
office, saying airmen had to pay for their own uniforms.
Nakakalungkot nga pong isipin ang estado ng Air Force na ating dinatnan: Ang
dating tinitingala bilang isa sa pinakamalakas na hukbong himpapawid sa Asya, tila
hindi na naka-take-off dahil sa maraming dekada ng katiwalian, panlalamang, at
kakulangan ng pansin. Tila ba sinalamin ng kalagayan ng Air Force ang malubhang
estado ng ating lipunan dahil sa baluktot na pamamahala," he said.
He also paid tribute to Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin and previous Air Force
leaders for pursuing reforms. Malinaw po, sa tuwid na daan, ang hangad natin:
Itama ang maling pamamalakad upang muli nating maabot ang matatayog na
tagumpay na tatak ng ating Hukbong Himpapawid.
Aquino also cited his reforms in other areas. "A lot of the things na na-accomplish
within I think wed be able to do and baka parang gasgas na plaka at sirang plaka
na, ano. For instance, I think the clearest example are the schools."
"In 2011 for instance, merong budget na 8,300 classrooms ang capacity ng budget
ng DepEd and by the time of the SONA there were only 18 made," he said. "Maski
nandiyan iyong pera parang napakahirap gawin iyung dapat gawin."
"Eventually that number became 66,800. And as you know, we finished that last
year. So iyong impossible has been accomplished and we have had the wherewithal
now to support the K-12 program, which will need more classrooms, teachers,
desks," he said.
"I managed to go on the TPLEX up to Carmen Rosales. I understand its open or will
be open this year up to Urdaneta. Iyong before I step down, there will be one
connector for the NLEX and SLEX operational already," Aquino said. Iyung a lot of
the airports, iyung Laguindingan, for instance, will have pati iyong night flying
capabilities and actually ang haba ng listahan, ano, what will happen."
"Siguro the thoughts are, nagumpisa tayo, mamanahin natin lahat ng problema,
wala iyong wherewithal, wala iyong kakayahan para ayusin itong mga problemang
ito at kung babalikan natin ang nakalipas na apat na taon medyo marami-rami na
rin yata tayong na-accomplish na hindi natin akalain na mangyayari," he said.
The Air Force anniversary was marked with a colorful air show. Outstanding
members of the Air Force were also recorgnized.
