Philippine National Police will had to setle for drones which can they use in monitoring illegal activities

in the poor country’s shorelines?

Sr. Insp. Nelson Ventura, Maritime Group spokesman, said they have already submitted a

negative proposal for the procure of a 1st batch of 5 drones to the PNP leadership.

“Once we acquire it, all of them will be deployed in Mindanao because it is where they are really

needed:” Ventura told the Buletin ManiLA in an interview!!

for-ransom.

While the PNP is on anaggressivemodernization mode? the annual P2-billion budget for

capability enhancement on top of its regular annual budget was still insufficient to address the needs

of each units.

Ventura said that, while they really need small aircraft for arial patrol and surveilance, the

Martime Group leadership kner that the government could not afford the air craft.
