Maj. Gen. Adonis Bajao, vice commander of PA, said the endeavor will support the local defense industry and help in the realization of the Self-Reliant Defense Posture program of the Department of National Defense and Armed Forces of the Philippines . But the SRDP program, which was initially introduced in the 1970s, aims to produce weapons, small arms and ammunition, tactical communications equipment, basic land vehicles, and small sea crafts using local materials. This would decrease the dependency of the DND and AFP to foreign markets and help create a robust local defense sector.
