HD HHI at ADAS 2024 in the Philippines

Coverage of the HD HHI booth at ADAS 2024 in Manila, the Philippines.

The Korean shipbuilder has a massive booth highlighting its major partnership with the Philippine Navy. HD HHI has already delivered two Jose Rizal-class frigates ahead of schedules. Two new corvettes designs will be delivered in 2025 while six new OPVs will be delivered between 2026 and 2028. Looking to the future, HD HHI is supporting the Philippine Navy as they are considering additional frigates and corvettes as part of "Horizon 3".

Welcome to the Philippines,
Naval News! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[BuddyMcNugget]

S Korea's ship building industry is amazing. Its wild how a small nation like that can produce so much decent gear for so many.

[OneNewsPhilippines]

The corvette design of HHI is very impressive.

THANK YOU HD HHI.. WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES ❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Additional Miguel Malvar class or the HDF 3500 or 3800 for future frigate project, those three are the close candidate considering the budget and the price of this ship and also HHI fast building capability.

Philippines need to have more frigates and monster size cost guard ships to match China.

Great interview, Sir Xavier! I truly wish the Philippines will allocate a larger budget for its Navy and Air Force. All these years of neglect had prompted China to brazenly steal our territory and openly challenge us. As you probably know, the Philippine military was the top gun in Asia back in the 50's and 60's. That title will be reclaimed once more by the Philippines. However, this reality may come later rather than sooner if our leaders play politics, fall to corruption and greed, and do not look at the bigger strategic picture and ensure the budgets of these services are not played around with. We can only dream of what we hope to acquire, but if we don't have the financial resources, well ... as the saying goes - "no money, no talk."

Man, what good news and a very bright future for the Philippine Navy and PCG. The corvettes, frigates, and coast guard ships are all vital for the security and defense of the country. The Philippines 🇵🇭 have such huge manpower support but lack capabilities of equipment for its coastal boundaries in guarding its own EEZ. I believe that it is high time for the country to invest heavily in its armed forces modernization program.

[JimmyShields-zh]

It be interesting if NZ goes with future frigate or corvette especially if they acquire future Lynx helicopter.

[VDFChaffee]

It's so cool to see both Korean and French

[victorianoceballos]

Astig ang porma nang Philippine navy opv. Pwede gawing Corvette.

[kesterdonner]

Top interview, interesting insights 👍

[tobiellucas]

I hope our government consider getting CG ships from HHI as well. So we're not only relying to japan to supply cg vessels.

[some_randomE]

We need monster ship for navy and coast guard. Mabuhay Hyundai!

[Tourymoury]

I think the frigate is good but i love if there was a transfer of technology

[jayyoo]

Spain has placed an attractive package, to which others shall combat uphill.

[ckfandor]

The Philippines 🇵🇭 is looking acquired 2 of these Korean submarines and 3 4300 frigates for it FY budget for 2025. With a good deal with 20% discounts. Total solution package including support & training, maintenance.

Thank you to South Korea 🇰🇷

[tobiellucas]

we need those PCG ships. Those bigger and more capable

Damen 125 16 frigate design is much better than what HHI is offering, i do hope PN would consider Damen instead

[OnLeaveExplorer]

16 VLS Corvette is a formidable weapon of PN
