Philippines finalises a deal to acquire a shore-based anti-ship missile system from India for nearly $375 million to beef up its navy

Despite friendlier ties between China and the Philippines, disputes over South China Sea create tensions.

The country will receive three batteries, train operators and maintainers, and provide logistics support, Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said in a Facebook post late on Friday. It was conceptualised in 2017, but faced delays in budget allocation and due to the coronavirus pandemic. The hardware includes decades old warships from World War Two and helicopters used by the United States in the Vietnam War.
