The visit follows after the Bilateral Air Contingent Exchange-Philippines (BACE-P) deployment earlier this year, where the F-16 Fighting Falcons under the 113th Wing visited Philippines.
As part of the 2019-2023 Horizon 2 phase of the revised AFP Modernazation Program, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) has plan for the aquisition of Multi-Role Fighter (MRF) for at least 12 units to become the premier air combat aircraft of the country.

As of the moment two Multi-Role Fighter jets are on the radar of the Philippine Airforce that most likely on the pipeline of selections, this includes the SAAB JAS-39 Gripen and the Lockheed Martin F-16 series.
