This was done by looking at the status of implementing the plans regarding the five components of the AFPMP from the approval date (1995) until 2002. The factors that contributed to the delay of the implementation were also identified. Similarly, the budgetary component was also looked into to find out how the program received the needed budget through the different fund sources, how the budget was utilized, which activities/ projects received fund prioritization and other budgetary concerns. Data gathering was done through interviews with military officers, library, and internet researches, in-depth analysis of AFP reports and circulars, AFPMP accomplishment reports, and presidential reports of the Estrada and Arroyo administrations. Findings show that the delay of project implementation can be attributed to several factors such as late release of funds for the program (it was found out that it was only in the year 2000 when budget was released from the sale of government arsenal scraps, and only in the 2002, when the program received its first congressional appropriation) and uncertain annual appropriation. Other reasons, as identified by the AFP, where the tedious bidding and procurement process, a fixed term for project completion and non- exemption from taxes and fees. AFP Modernization Program.
