President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has approved the plan to acquire new multirole fighter jets as part of military modernisation efforts. Military chief General Romeo Brawner Jr. made the announcement during a briefing on July 4. He indicated that the Philippines is considering acquiring more advanced and capable warplanes.

The move comes in response to the growing tensions in the South China Sea, where the Philippines faces aggression from China. Watch the video to find out more.
