EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Philippine Aerospace Development Corporation (PADC) was created in 
September 1973 by virtue of Presidential Decree (PD) 286 as the government's arm 
of the Philippine aviation industry.
In 1975, PD 286 was amended by several decrees, the latest being Executive 
Order No. 78 which transferred the administrative supervision of PACD from the 
Department of Transportation (DOTr) to the Department of National Defense (DND). 
PD 286 provides that PADC shall exist for a period of fifty (50) years from the date 
of approval of the decree or until September 23, 2023.
In view thereof, and considering the accomplishments of the PADC, i.e. 
acquisition of 44 
BO-105 helicopters through licensing agreement with
Messerchemitt Bolkow Blohm of Germany, 67 BN Islander aircraft through a 
licensing agreement with Pilatus Britten Norman (PBN) of England, 18 SF 260 TP 
single-engine turbo-prop trainer aircraft through joint venture Agusta/SIAI Marchetti 
of Italy, among others, this bill seeks to amend PD 286 by extending the existence


of PADC for another fifty (50) years from the expiration of its original term or until 
September 5, 2073.
For this purpose, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
