The DND has confirmed that the transfer is indeed not being pursued anymore, together with the construction of facilities for it.
According to our sources, the Philippine Army and Philippine Marine Corps found that the K136 Kooryongs were too old and may be difficult and cost a large amount of money to sustain, thus the decision to just buy new systems like the K239 Chunmoo, Lynx PULS or M143 HIMARS, or a combination of the these systems
It will still cost around Php340 million to transfer the MLRS and ammunition systems to the Philippines, and a lot more for repairing and shipping them, which was originally quoted to cost around Php2 billion in total.
