FOR the first time in history, the Philippine Navy (PN) received its surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) that the military believed would boost the country's capability in defending its territory.

PN spokesman Cdr. Benjo Negranza on Sunday said the Mistral 3 SAMs were delivered last week at the Subic Bay International Airport. It is part of the Philippine Navy's frigate acquisition project.
