"Yes, there are plans [to buy Typhon systems], there are negotiations, because we see its feasibility and adaptability … One of our inputs is to be able to defend [our sovereignty] through this type of platform," Galido was quoted as saying by Philippine broadcaster ABS-CBN during a briefing.
The official added that the acquisition of a military platform usually takes at least two years after the Philippine Congress approves the budget, adding that he could not provide the exact number of missile systems the country expected to procure.
