Philippine Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Lauro Catalino G. Dela Cruz told reporters that Manila is rethinking on the purchase of F-16s due to its acquisition cost and maintenance fees.
“The F-16 is just one of the options. We are looking whether it will be beneficial for us in terms of cost, in terms of lifespan because it is also already secondhand,” de la Cruz said.
