Again another year has passed and as usual millions of pesos have been allocated to make the 220 Airlift Wing Christmas party worth remembering. As stated in other pages of this website, the extravagant Christmas Party at 220AW alone would ultimately prove to the Filipino people that money is aplenty in the PAF and the AFP in general and yet soldiers' barracks until this very moment haven't been addressed yet due to "Lack of Fund" alibi. Hundreds of soldiers are still renting houses outside Air Force bases or military installations through out the country. Remember that barracks is one of the basic infrastructures in the military organization thus it is a big NO NO for the active soldiers to rent apartment while in the active military service. The 2007 Christmas Party of 220AW has a budget estimation of 1.5 Million Pesos!
Of course the author is not saying that the previous Wing Commander is a corrupt military General. What is being portrayed here is the abundance of money that was not used according to the most needed priorities in the PAF such as soldiers barracks. Twenty pictures are enough to prove how good it is to be a military man.
This is the 220AW Christmas Party standard!

Picture #3. "O Mantoy dito ka, Ano wala kang klase?" was BGEN LARGO's joke to CPT REMANTE a.k.a. Mantoy that elicits loud laughter inside the conference room because CPT REMANTE was already having Airbus Academic Classes at that time. CPT MIGUEL in red showed off his heartfelt laughter to his classmate.
Picture #4: Group of young Officers waiting for their turn to be called. CPT SANTIAGO has just received his cash gift.

Pictures #5 & #6 are still the group of young Officers traditionally brainwashed to received Cash gifts from the Wing Commander.
The above-shown pictures are testaments of how plentiful money is in one unit of PAF alone; so if this particular unit (220Airlift Wing) can afford to defray millions of pesos in one of dozen yearly ativities within the Wing, then there is no reason why other units can't afford to do the same. Again let's take a simple elementary computation based on the number of PAF Officers assigned in 220th AW. There are 70 Officers assigned with this unit and each of the Officers except those holding manegerial (Squadron Commanders) because they have separate higher-amount cash gift. Another token being distributed to all Squadron Commanders and Wing Staffs is the original brand "TIMEX" watches.
70 number of Officers X P4,000 = P280,000 + P57,600 (for TIMEX watches) = P337,600.00For the original TIMEX watches; 9 Squadron Commaders & 9 Wing Staffs or 18 total TIMEX watches pricing at 3200 each for the cheapest timex watches or a total assumed value of P3200 x 18 = P57,600. Add this figure to P280,000 allocation for cash dole outs then we are now sure of having P337,600 budget disbursement for these two gift-giving activities.
So people of the Philippines, cash dole outs and 'timex' tokens alone already coughed up an amount of almost half-a-million pesos from the Wing's budget department. How much more on the following pictures that shows a not so cheap activities such as cash gifts (P20.00 per child) to all 220AW children and the SHINDIG PARTY?

Picture #20 is another Officer just received his Cash Gift from the Wing Commander. He is no other than the Snappy MAJOR DONALD MADARANG. He is the brother of the Marag Valley hero whose life was depicted by actor Edu Manzano in the movie titled Dugo ni Madarang. LT MADARANG heroically died fighting the insurgents at Marag Valley.
Again ladies and gentlemen, the above-shown pictures are accurate testaments that money is aplenty in 220AW alone. As usual, let us use elementary computation on the number of children (say 500 total children) receiving 20 pesos each or a total amount of P10,000.00!
RAFFLE BONANZAS
Now lets proceed to the extravagant Christmas Raffle Bonanza. Raffle Prizes were subdivided into three groups namely minor Prizes, Major Prizes and the Grand Prize. Minor Prizes consists of items ranging from as low as 'load card' amount to as high as the prevailing market price for mountain bikes. Interestingly, all organic personnel in 220AW each received a minor prize. Major prizes consist of 31 high value items such as Canon video cameras, Philips brand 29 inch Flat tv's, hot/cold Water Dispensers, Refrigerators and many more. And last but not the least is the Grand Prize local automobile called "Multicab" which was won by Sgt Norial the duty driver at the ACP, 220th Airlift Wing based in CJVAB, Pasay City. To cut the long story short, the 2007 Raffle Bonanza is believed to be costing between P250,000 to P350,000.
SHINDIG PARTY
Not to be outdone with the 2006 Wing Christmas celebration, the new leadership of 220AW likewise held a pre-christmas affair called the SHINDIG PARTY. Highlights of this pre-Christmas celebration is the double treat of known local bands named SUBURBIA & CROWN ROYALE alternately performing for music and entertainment. Actually there are three local bands being hired but the third ban named Gabriela canceled their participation at the last minute for some valid reasons. Below are the budget proposals for this SHINDIG AFFAIR. Take note, the Wing was to hire a Professional Band named CUESHE but sad to say it doesn't materialize afterall.
BUNDLES OF JOY
All organic personnel also have "Bundles of Joy" worth P500 each. So computing 500 personnel by 500-peso costing of goods, the total estimated expenditures for bundles of joy is P250,000.
