Sana totoo tagal na kasi itong nababalita palagi lng paulit2x recycle news ika nga!

MANILA—The Philippines said Tuesday it expects to get 10 new Japanese patrol boats within 18 months, as it tries to strengthen its sea defense capabilities amid a deepening territorial row with China.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said the boats were 40-meter (132-foot) vessels to be used by the Philippine coast guard.
“I think (their delivery) is between 12 to 18 months,” del Rosario said in brief comments to reporters. He did not specify how much each boat would cost.
The Nikkei, a Japanese business daily, reported on Monday that Japan planned to donate patrol boats costing $11 million each to the Philippines, a move it linked to regional efforts to monitor China’s maritime activity.
