regarding armed insurgencies like the Abu Sayyaf, ginagamit ba yung F-5s na yan dun? parang hindi yata. and besides, sa tingin ko may mga "ibang dahilan" kung bakit hindi masugpu-sugpo yang mga NPA at abu sayyaf na yan even after the "full might" of the AFP is deployed against them. hehe (but that's a topic for another day).
so the decision to mothball the planes makes good sense, imo.
