Vice President Sara Duterte used a Black Hawk Sikorsky's utility helicopter from the Philippines Air Force when she visited San Fabian and Mangaldan towns in Pangasinan last Wednesday to be the commencement speaker of the two public schools there.
The Philippines was buying 32 S-70i Black Hawk helicopters from Poland-based Sikorsky Aircraft subsidiary PZL Mielec to beef up its existing fleet of 12, the country's defence chief said early last year.
The additional 32 Black Hawks - Yes Virginia the one you saw at the movie's Black Hawk Down in Etiopia - cost the Philippines coffer by U.S $624 million or P34.3 billion or P1,072 billion each (Ganoon kamahal ang helicopter na sinakyan ni VP Sara, Virgnia!)
