Representatives from Americam defense consultant Defense Bridge Asia and American defense giant Lockheed Martin were in the Philippines and met with Philippine Air Force Commanding General Lt. Gen. Stephen Parreño last 05 March 2024.
Lockheed Martin manufactures the F-16 Viper which is still in the running for the Philippine Air Force's Multirole Fighter Acquisition Project.
Note that the Philippines already indicated interest to acquire new MRFs where the F-16 Block 70 Viper is competing, as well as used F-16s from either 3rd party countries or the US Excess Defense Articles.
