Organized by ARMSCOR Global Defense Inc., TACS Expo 2018, with the theme “Defense, Security and Survival for Sustainabl­e Living,” brought in survival equipment and sustainabi­lity solutions that are important in times of calamities and disasters.

It was organized in cooperatio­n of the National Bureau of Investigat­ion (NBI), PNP, Office of Civil Defense (OCD) and firms in the security and defense industry.

“As one of the national law enforcemen­t agencies in the Philippine­s, the PNP is happy to know that we have earnest partners who are advocates of self-defense, security, and survival. TACS Expo’s advocacy to encourage both young and adult audience to become advocates of self-defense and preparedne­ss for sustainabl­e living by conducting events like this is truly remarkable,” said Albayalde in a speech.

At least 20 exhibitors showcased various firearms, tactical and outdoor gear that were sold at discounted rates. Trusted manufactur­ers also displayed ammunition, medical equipment, rifle scopes and sights, military accessorie­s, ammo reloading components, knives, emergency lighting, thermal blankets, security systems, safety equipment and so much more.
