MANILA -- The so-called "Critical Design Review" (CDR) of the two frigates, on order from South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries, has been completed and will now be undergoing examination by the Philippine Navy's Technical Inspection and Acceptance Committee (TIAC) this week.

This was disclosed by Defense public affairs office chief Arsenio Andolong in an interview Monday.
"The CDR has been completed and by this week, it will be undergoing inspection by the Navy's TIAC," he added.

Andolong said it was the Navy and Hyundai who created the CDR.
Once approved, the CDR will serve as the "Bible" of the shipbuilder in constructing the ship and putting the systems desired by the customer or end-user.

The two frigates, along with their weapon systems and munition, have a contract of PHP18 billion.
Once delivered and commissioned in 2020, the frigates will be the first Filipino warships capable of neutralizing surface, subsurface and air threats with missile and other modern armaments.
