The Italian Navy's Bergamini-class (FREMM) frigate ITS Marceglia (F597) recently made a high-profile visit to Manila, Philippines on March 17, 2025. This visit comes as Italy offers 4 FREMM frigates, including Marceglia, to Greece for €1.2 billion. Could this signal a similar opportunity for the Philippine Navy? 🇵🇭⚓
With the Self-Reliant Defense Posture (SRDP) Revitalization Act in full swing, the Philippines is eager to build anti-submarine, anti-air, and electronic warfare capabilities. Italy's robust shipbuilding industry offers a golden opportunity for technology transfer and local shipbuilding partnerships, but at a hefty price. 💰
Is it time for the Philippines to invest in Italian warships, or should they look elsewhere for their naval modernization? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! 💬
