For what

Is not paranoia another mental disease? Or what is a good excuse for abanldoning a promise to go by commercial airline? And 2 are needed aping the example of somebody who has 2 for security (or family...)

Parang andaming jet fighter ang air force. Inuna pa private jet.

Ayaw nya kasi makadagdag pa sa trapik kaya mag eroplano n lng kasama mga alagad nya..at para walang huli nga ninja cop..😁😁😁

Inutang pa yan, hindi kasama interest dyan kaya good luck mga taxpayers!

business jet as command aircraft 😂😂😂😂😂what a luxury during emergency...PAF have C295s that can be use during emergencies.... gamitin nyo lng yan sa junket trips nyo! 😉

They highly think of themselves. Wasting taxpayers money.

What can i say.::putangina!

Ito pala talaga ang solusyon sa kahirapan at trafficang pagbili ng 2B worth jet! Applause! Insensitive!

There you go! Insensitibong tao. Inuuna ang mga sasakyan para sa sariling kapakanan.

Feeling air force 1.

How about providing jobs, improvig transpo and free healthcare before this shit?

Why not just a regular plane? It'll still blow up the same when Shot in the air

This is extravagance that is prohibited by anti-graft laws.

Emergency like what? Sudden urge to go shopping abroad by Mocha?!

Who will man the command post? Mocha the Fake News Queen? 😂😂😂🙄🙄🙄

US loan US brand, galit sa US of A, di kayo nag aalala may remote control yan ng US Dapat sa China ovRussiakayo nagpagaws

So sino.ang kukubra ng kumisyon? CorruptPaMoreDuterte

gani katagal kaya sa ere yan?

P2B is such a huge amount. That amount would have been maximized and sensible if it would have been integrated in the proposed PUV modernization program as subsidy, since P80K ain't sufficient.
