MANILA, Philippines — The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is set to create a space center, which it eventually plans to turn into a space force or a space command, AFP chief General Romeo Brawner Jr. told reporters on the sidelines of the military’s first-semester command conference at Camp Aguinaldo.
“We are now planning to create our space center which will eventually evolve into a space force or a space command. Now, sabi ng mga tao, bakit kailangan natin na wala naman tayo yung satellites (People may be wondering, why do we need this when we do not have satellites)?” said Brawner, who is set to retire by July 21, 2026.
