4. Make the Philippines into a military center; build cheap weapons and sell them to latin america, africa, asia; to increase military trade and development with Russia, China, India, Pakistan
this means a lot of money for us. we could be the richest if we supply armaments. but were will we get the supply? do we have enough? or are you only talking about labor fees income? hehe
Yes. We can supply cheap 'all-around' weapons to poor countries that cannot afford high tech material. For example, the Philippines right now produces the Armoured Carrier, "Simba". It is philippine made, and several requests from Argentina, Columbia and several African countries have been made to purchase some.
We can get the metal and material in our own country. It is said that 80% of the Philippine's natural resources is untapped. This is including tin, copper, mercury, cadmium, coal, natural gas, diamonds, raw metals, timber, oil etc. However, for optimum's sake, we can buy cheap Chinese steel as well.
We can build 7 major war plant factories, 2 based in Luzon, 2 based in Visayas and 3 based in Mindanao. The ones in Luzon will produce Philippine-made all-around fast attack boats, patrol ships. The ones in visayas will produce scout planes armed with light strafing machine guns and an all-purpose bomb. Even making Philippine-made air superiority fighters modeled after the F-5 Tiger II design. It will be cheap and yes it won't be super high tech, but 20 of these can take down 4-5 F-16s
Mindanao will be the base of operations for land infantry materiel. Production of artillery, rifles, mortars, air defense missiles, naval defense missiles, armoured vehicles, light tanks, etc.
Thousands will be employed. And the Philippines will be known to the region as the 'Military Hub' of Asia.
Philippine-Made
This is the Philippine-Made SIMBA APC (Armoured personnel carrier). Hundreds are used and fill in the ranks of Philippine Army, and Philippine Marine Corp batallions, divisions, corps.
