The Philippine Navy (PN) revealed its plans to acquire diesel-electric submarines this week, confirming unverified claims that have circulated in social media for years. The Philippine News Agency (PNA) cited a defense ministry spokesperson who explained how submarines are now part of Horizon 2, which is a broad modernization program from 2018 until 2022.
The Department of National Defense (DND) haven’t been too generous with details other than specifying a diesel-electric submarine is their preferred asset. Since the PN are responsible for creating an undersea warfare doctrine and drawing their own requirements, the branch is spoiled with choices–and funding. President Duterte already approved $1.46 billion for the PN to cover its acquisitions until the end of his term in 2022.
