Welcome. This site is dedicated to the courageous men and women in the Armed Forces of the Philippines and was created to provide Filipinos with (hopefully) a better understanding of the arms and equipment of the AFP. I do not present this site as a comprehensive guide of any sort and it is by no means complete but I hope readers will leave here a little more informed. This site will always be under construction. Please email me any comments or suggestions at tcupdp@yahoo.com. Thanks. (August 19, 2001)
