LAS VEGAS, Nevada—Martin Tuason has expressed his all-out support for the revival of the passing of the Self-Reliant Defense Program , or now the Philippine Defense Industry Development Act within the year to empower the country’s national defense and create more jobs for the Filipinos.

He explained that the proposed law, which is already being tackled in the bicameral now, would not only stabilize the country’s national defense but would also help create jobs. “So now, we have the opportunity to be a defense player, that’s why I really want to bring back the SRDP,” Tuason said, adding that he really wants the country to be more self-reliant when it comes to producing weaponry instead of importing.

“Private industry through a bidding process was the only one who delivered during the time of actual five months of fighting in Marawi [Siege] because I was local and I offered to deliver more, but they said I couldn’t because of current laws and how things work,” Tuason explained.
