Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana tackled two topics in terms of improving Military Ties with Russia, and the first is the exchange of personnel for Military Education. This means that we will be sending Military Cadets to Russia and at the same time their Military Cadets will be accommodated in the Philippine Military Academy (PMA).
If this pushes thru, not sure but this could be the first time in the history of the PMA to officially host cadets from Russia. And it doesn’t just end with just the cadets, Military Officers themselves could be sent to Russia also to pursue higher Military Education.
Another topic is War Games with Russia, but Lorenzana said that a framework for a Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) needs to be setup first, and any such Military Exercise as per law needs to be approved by the Senate first.
These will be huge in terms of a Paradigm Shift for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) if they materialize. These developments is probably one reason why the United States (US) is intent on holding a Joint Military Exercise with the AFP almost every single day of the year in 2020.
