MANILA - The Philippine Air Force (PAF) is looking at the possibility of acquiring heavy-lift helicopters as part of efforts to beef up its helicopter fleet. "There is a project for heavy (lift) helis (helicopters) but this is still being worked out by the TWGs (technical working groups)," PAF spokesperson Lt. Col. Maynard Mariano said.
