The SPYDER Medium Range Ground-based Air Defense Missile System of the @PhilAirForce 🇵🇭 was spotted, most likely for this year's iteration of the AFP 🇵🇭 Joint Exercise (AJEX 09-2025) DAGITPA. If ever, we'll see both the Sabrah Light Tanks, and SPYDER-MR GBADS in action, together.

According to an Indian news article, the #Philippines 🇵🇭 is in advanced negotiations for the purchase of Indian 🇮🇳 Akash Surface-to-Air Missile System. The @yourphilarmy is also expected to acquire more BrahMos Missiles by 2026. Aside from the 🇵🇭 Marines' BrahMos Missile Systems.

Finally, we've given a first glance of what an actual @AlphaCoyMarines 🇵🇭's BrahMos Supersonic Anti-ship Missile System looks like. Now it's confirmed that the 🇵🇭 BrahMos Mobile Autonomous Launchers carries 2 canisters. And the missile looks so massive! Happy 75th Birthday PMC!

The Philippine Marine Corps has revealed its first BrahMos missile battery during a presentation at the force’s 75th anniversary ceremony today. Located in Zambales, Manila’s first BrahMos base can reach Scarborough Shoal. Note the battery comp and facilities shown. 📸 RTVM

Started from just ARs, 105s, and an FSV armed 90mm gun to becoming more capable with an anti-ship/land attack missile system, 155s, new AAVs. Akash NG soon.

Happy 75th Birthday to the Philippine Marine Corps (@AlphaCoyMarines 🇵🇭), fueled with gallantry, strength and patriotism. The PMC has boosted it's capabilities with 3 batteries of Indian 🇮🇳 BrahMos Shore-based Anti-ship Missile System, and soon with their own Air Defense Systems.

The Philippine Navy and the South Korean shipbuilder HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is getting closer into finalizing the frigate acquisition project full complement deal, in which it involves the purchase of two (2) additional frigates for the fleet. According to the South Korean report linked below, there is a likelihood that an announcement will be made for this deal, which, according to previous information, will either be a repeat order of the Miguel Malvar class frigate or an improved variant based on the aforementioned ship class. This will significantly improve the number of ships to six (6) vessels, spanning two to three class depending on the outcome of the project itself, which amounts to Php 42 Billion, including munitions and logistics support. #PDA #PitzDefAnalysis #PhilippineNavy #HDHyundai #FrigateAcquisitionProjectFullComplement #MiguelMalvarClassFrigate Reference: m.moneys.co.kr/article/20251… Image for reference.

AJEX 2025 | The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) signaled the start of the AFP Joint Exercise “Dagit, Langit at Lupa” (AJEX “DAGITPA”) activities at the Laoag Sand Dunes, Barangay Navotas, Laoag City on November 4, 2025. The exercise brings together the Philippine Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, with the participation of the Philippine Coast Guard and the Philippine National Police, to enhance interoperability and joint operational readiness. The annual AJEX “DAGITPA” serves as a key component in the AFP’s implementation of the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept (CADC), aimed at strengthening joint defense capabilities across land, air, and maritime domains. Training activities will include airfield seizure, counter-landing live fire, amphibious operations, and land defense exercises in Northern Luzon—demonstrating the AFP’s commitment to securing the nation’s territorial integrity through unified and coordinated operations.

Once the contract has been signed for the 12 KF-21 Boramae Block II by the @dndphl for the @PhilAirForce 🇵🇭 in early 2026, the first batch is expected to arrive by 2028. The PAF will be trained by KAI and ROKAF 🇰🇷, as part of the training package, once the export to PAF succeeds.

Why is the #Philippines already discussing the #KF21Boramae Block 2? The original 2028 timeline for full capability has been cut by one and a half years. This acceleration is possible because #KAI is adopting a Serial Integration strategy to deliver this multirole jets faster. 1/

This is it. Way to go @dndphl 🇵🇭!

ROMUALDEZ RESPONSIBLE FOR CO? WATCH: Former Speaker and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez should be held accountable for resigned Ako Bicol party-list Rep. Zaldy Co, who chaired the appropriations panel, Ombudsman Boying Remulla says. Co has been tagged in corruption allegations linked to the flood control scandal. “If fingers do not point to the former speaker, as the leader of the House, he was responsible for the appointment of Zaldy Co. Although Zaldy Co was elected on the floor, everybody knows that it was the speaker’s choice,” Remulla says. NewsWatch Plus reached out to Romualdez's office for a comment. | @daniza_sf
