MANILA, Philippines — To mark its upcoming 76th founding anniversary, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) held a series of mall exhibits nationwide in a bid to share to the public its capabilities and readiness.
PAF’s latest exhibit will be held at SM City Davao, scheduled from June 8 to 10.
The biggest and the final leg of the exhibit will be held at SM City Clark, Pampanga from June 12 to 16.
“Notably, the tail end exhibit will feature static displays of actual PAF aircraft inside the mall,” the PAF said in a statement on Monday.
Career booths are also open to those interested in applying as PAF officers, enlisted personnel, civilian human resource, and reservists.
The PAF already had its exhibit at SM City Mindpro in Zamboanga City, SM Seaside in Cebu City, Robinsons Place Palawan and SM City Legazpi.
The exhibits in these areas displayed the service branch’s capabilities in aspects of territorial defense, air and maritime domain awareness, combat support, humanitarian assistance and disaster response among others.
The PAF became a separate military service on July 1, 1947.
