The Philippine Army received a donation of one Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm (MBB) Bo 105 helicopter from Dornier Technology, Inc. during the ceremonial signing and turn-over ceremony at Army Aviation Hangar, Fort Ramon Magsaysay, Palayan City, Nueva Ecija on October 26, 2022.
The Department of National Defense Officer-in-Charge Senior Undersecretary Jose C. Faustino, Jr., graced the event as Guest of Honor and Speaker, emphasizing the importance of the aircraft on equipment readiness and operations.
“To the Philippine Army, headed by Lt. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner, Jr., congratulations! This aircraft will beef up your equipment readiness without any acquisition cost to the government. Operationally, it will hasten the response time for Philippine Army-directed flight missions since its operational use will be directly under your control,” said Senior Undersecretary Faustino.
The donation of the cutting-edge Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm Bo 105 will be an additional mission-essential equipment for the Army Aviation that will support the Army units and other government agencies during disasters and calamities in the country.
