Philippines Welcomes New Corvette BRP Miguel Malvar to Navy Fleet
File photo for reference only The Philippine Navy has enhanced its maritime capabilities with the arrival of the South Korean-made corvette, BRP Miguel Malvar (FFG-06), welcomed on April 8 by the Department of National Defense Secretary, Gilberto Teodoro Jr., at the Naval Operating Base in Subic, Zambales. Named after a notable Filipino independence fighter, the vessel will play a strategic role in safeguarding the country's territorial waters, primarily in the West Philippine Sea amid mounting Chinese presence. Teodoro highlighted the ship's dual role as a deterrent and a partner in joint operations, reinforcing international law and alliances. The BRP Miguel Malvar, the lead ship of its class, boasts a length of 118.4 meters and a breadth of 14.9 meters, with a weight of 3,200 tons. Its advanced equipment includes anti-ship missiles, vertical launch systems, and sophisticated radar, offering a cruising speed of 15 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles. The vessel signifies a pivotal advance in the Philippines' defense capabilities, aligning with Teodoro's emphasis on self-reliance and enhancing domain awareness. He underscored the partnership with South Korea in strengthening naval resilience and sustainability, crucial for developing the country's blue economy. The BRP Miguel Malvar's arrival is part of a P28-billion deal with South Korea's HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, including a subsequent corvette, the future BRP Diego Silang (FFG-07), scheduled for delivery in late 2025. As the Philippines bolsters its naval fleet, this acquisition marks a significant step in securing its maritime sovereignty and economic interests, reported Manila Bulletin. -- 2025-04-08 -
