HDC-3200 CORVETTES OR FRIGATES? PHILIPPINE NAVY'S NEW WARSHIP DETAILS/SHIP NAME REVEALED

HDC-3200 CORVETTES OR FRIGATES? PHILIPPINE NAVY'S NEW WARSHIP DETAILS/SHIP NAME REVEALED
A recent development has inadvertently unveiled the planned names for the Philippine Navy's forthcoming HDC-3200 corvettes. This information surfaced from uniform patch designs posted online, attributed to the Offshore Combat Force. According to the patches, the new vessels will be designated as BRP Miguel Malvar (FF-06) and BRP Diego Silang (FF-07). However, the classification and numbering details suggest that these ships will be designated as frigates, not corvettes, according to the Philippine Navy's 2016 naming and classification standards.
Frigate Designation Instead of Corvette
The classification of these ships as frigates (indicated by the "FF" prefix) is a noteworthy deviation from their expected corvette designation. This change aligns with information received by MaxDefense Philippines, indicating that the Philippine Navy is in advanced stages of acquiring vessels that fulfill its requirements for "corvettes." The reclassification to frigates might reflect strategic and operational decisions within the Navy, underscoring their versatile roles in naval operations.

From a progression point of view it those make sense to classified them as Frigates are in line with the Jose Rizal-class being the first, though not sure if the PN will still continue with the planned reclassification to Corvette?
