30 missile vessels on the way? InquirerQuote: Navy to acquire 30 more missile-equipped ships By: Julie Alipala - Reporter / @alipalajulieINQ Inquirer Mindanao / 08:06 PM March 07, 2019 INQUIRER.net/Frances Mangosing
ZAMBOANGA CITY – The Philippine Navy will acquire around 30 more ships equipped with missile system and automated 50 caliber machine guns that can sink ships at a distance as far as two kilometers.
Navy’s Flag Officer In Command Vice Admiral Robert Empedrad confirmed Thursday morning that three Navy vessels called Multipurpose Assault Craft (MPAC), which were acquired recently, are armed with missiles.
“We have MPAC equipped with missile system. Each MPAC costs P270 million, iba naman ang presyo ng missiles. We have three with missile system but in the future, magkakaron tayo ng 30 more ships with missile systems so that if we are invaded by another country, we can protect our maritime nation by using our system,” Empedrad said in an interview after the ceremonial turn over at Tangan Gym, inside Naval Forces Western Mindanao command here.

Both missile systems are short-range Air Defense missiles. Python is an IR-Guided missile and Derby (Spyder) is a radar guided missile.

President Duterte seems to be courting China so these missiles might not be aimed in their direction. Hopefully he will stick to what is in the best interests of the Philippines but he is so unstable that he might be seduced into ceding territory to China.
