EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Philippine Aerospace Development Corporation (PADC) was created on 5 
September 1973 by virtue of Presidential Decree (PD) 286, as restructured and 
amended by P.D. 696, for purposes of undertaking all manner of activity, business or 
development projects to establish a reliable aviation and aerospace industry.
Its mandate Includes to design, assembly, manufacture and sale of all forms of 
aircraft and aviation aerospace devices, equipment or contraptions; studies or 
researches for innovations and improvements there upon; to develop local capabilities 
in maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO), and modification of aerospace and associated 
flight and ground equipment and components thereof in order to provide technical 
services and overhaul support to: government agencies owning aerospace equipment, 
the Philippine Air Force, foreign air forces, national airline and foreign airline 
companies, and to the aviation industry in general; and the operation and provision 
of air transport services, whether for cargo or passengers on a scheduled or charter


basis, on domestic and/or international scale. However, the corporate existence of 
PADC is scheduled to end this year or on 5 September 2023.
This measure seeks to amend Section 1 of Presidential Decree No. 286 to 
extend the Philippine Aerospace Development Corporation's corporate life for another 
fifty (50) years to further address emerging and external threats through self-reliance 
in defense equipment, as well as promote transfer of technology from neighboring 
countries, and maximize national unity in the aviation and aerospace industries.
In this light, the immediate passage of this bill is highly recommended.
