from steeljack's first post, eto yung forum ng mga military discussing the MX8.

MX8 is a very promising locally-made military vehicle. huwag lang haluan ng politika at panghimasukan ng mga buwaya sa gobyerno, ay me bright future ito.

not all is well in the development of the Barako:

The original proposal for the MX8 is only around Php 2.5M to be built by an experienced local manufacturer of armored vans, WE HAVE LOTS OF THEM. The businessman general saw the potential of the project and personally handled its implementation (personally means: siya ang naghanap ng gagawa and sila lang nakakaalam ng usapan, walang market research or public bidding). The Army was dictated to cooperate with Steelcraft (cooperate means: lahat ng requirement niya ibigay nyo, including financial, and you cannot question how he will do the thing kasi MAGALING daw siya).

Now, the first prototype already cost Php 6.5M at gusto pa nila 3 prototypes gawin, bakit andami naman? The first prototype was built from nothing ( nothing means: walang concept of use, walang specs, walang scope of work at walang experience ang gagawa). Tubero ang business ni Steelcraft and hindi ang pagbuo ng sasakyan.

Nung lumabas ang first prototype syempre maraming problema. Maraming correctibles na pwede na agad gawin sa unang unit pero ayaw nila at sa second prototype nlang daw baguhin. What?!!! Ibig sabihin bahala na ang user to remedy the problems at iniwanan na nila? Ganito ba ang project management? hitthewall.gif

They are already starting the second prototype pero nagretire na si businessman general, pano na kaya ang project?

The Escort Vehicle (the proper term) has a lot of potential for the Army and to our defense industry. The Army badly needs it pero na bastardized ang project. Quo Vadis Army?
