Major Gen. Angelito de Leon, 7ID commander, said the new equipment are big boost to their capabilities, being part of the Modernization Program and Transformation Roadmap of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
In his message, De Leon said the trucks and ambulances were just part of the program, saying that the command has earlier received firepowers such as R4s which are more sophisticated than the M16 Armalite rifles.
