MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Navy on Saturday announced the official arrival of the second of six Rajah Sulayman-class offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) at the Naval Operating Base Subic in Zambales.

The warship actually arrived at Subic Bay on May 4, a month after it sailed for delivery from the Ulsan shipyard of South Korean shipbuilder HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), which has been building the Rajah Sulayman-class vessels it originally designed in 2018.

The new vessels, which Navy officials identified as the BRP Rajah Lakandula, have not been christened nor commissioned, but its delivery follows that of the Rajah Sulayman, the lead ship of the class, which arrived in January.

Philippinos put malay under race but PAP says it should be others. Divide and rule.
