What does "PF" stand for? "Patrol Force", "Patrol Frigate"?

I really hope our Navy will soon acquire ships from Cebu.

The vessel, whose two 1,800 horsepower gas turbines can propel it to speeds of up to 28 knots, was renamed the BRP Gregorio del Pilar, or PF-15 (the type code designating it as a patrol frigate).

Like PF-15 "Pinagawang Frigate", the new V-hull could be VPF... "V-hull Pinagawang Frigate".

maybe the new V-hulls refers to the two OPVs that the PN made a request for in 2012 to 2016

Got an old FilAM friends, former elementary classmate here in the PH, who's w/ the USN right now. 1 is a Combat Naval Aviator let's call him M and 1 is a sailor let's call him D. M used to be w/ F-18C but he is now transferred to F-18E on 2008. D is assigned w/ Asset Management.

Here's the interesting part......
M: I've been informed by my C.O that between 2011 upto 2013, I might be station back there in PH to support training you guys on the legacy and super hornet but I haven't received any new Mission Order for the new assignment. Maybe they'll give it to me sometime Oct, I don't know. Call the class and let's have a reunion

D: Then 2012 let's have a 2nd reunion! I'll be able to visit also back there maybe 2012. WHEC 723 and 725 is being planned for the next PN acquisition. We have the letter of proposals here. We are decommisioning these magnificent ships. I'm so glad that it will still be operational.
