Good News, Two New Philippine Frigate Ships Will Be Sent in 2020-2021 From South Korea.

Defense Minister Delfin Lorenzana said Thursday that the two missile-armed frigates currently being built by South Korean shipbuilders Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) would be named under the country's two leading heroes.

In a press conference at the DND headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City, Lorenzana said that the frigates would be named BRP Jose Rizal, the country's national hero, and BRP Antonio Luna, one of the country's most prominent military generals.

"(Frigates) will be named BRP Antonio Luna and Jose Rizal, heroes of the hero [our hero]," Lorenzana said.

"Meron na tayong Davao del Sur, Tarlac, hero of ngayon mga naman tayo [We already have Davao del Sur, Tarlac. We will use heroes this time], "he added.
