Philippine Air Force Receives 5th C-130 Cargo Plane

The United States has given a C-130 cargo aircraft to the Philippine Air Force.

Philippine Air Force has now its 5th C-130 cargo plane as United States has recently given a cargo aircraft of the same model.

The alliance between the Philippines and the United States is undeniably tainted with a question mark now. The recent tirades of Pres. Rodrigo ‘Rody’ Duterte to US Pres. Barack Obama and the United States has even sparked a lot of headlines.

Further, a possibility of the shift in alliance of the Philippines from the United States to China is also one of the rumors above the surface.
