Have
you been to SM City Lipa where you were suddenly surprised to see a real-life
replica of an SKF260 Marchetti plane in front of you while eating ice cream or
walking around not knowing that it was there? Regardless of whether you've been
there or probably missed it somehow, then don't be surprised since I think this
served as an entrance to a three-day exhibit held at the mall's Event Center on
September 14-16, 2018 in celebration of the 66th founding anniversary of the
Philippine Air Force's Air Education, Training and Doctrine Command
(PAF-AETDC).
With
the theme "AETDC@66: Kaakibat sa Paghubog ng Ating Kasundaluhan, Kaagapay
sa Pagbuo ng Doktrinang Kailangan", the Command partnered with the premier
lifestyle mall in South Luzon to stage an exhibit showcasing some of the
former's best and finest aerial assets which were shown to the public for three
days. During the exhibit's simple opening ceremonies, AETDC's commander Maj.
Gen. Arnold A. Mancita stated that the exhibit is aimed to increase public
awareness on the Command. On the other hand, SM City Lipa mall manager Liza F.
Dimaculangan articulated that the three-day public event is one of the mall's
continuing efforts in providing a fun and enjoyable shopping and family bonding
experience to Lipeños and Batangueños alike.
