The next PH administration will need to continue current negotiation on Transfer of Technology for this SSV for the 3rd and subsequent units if they want to build more of this at home. Even Indonesia which already operate 5 LPD, plan to add another 2 units for naval hospital role.

Impressive naval construction abilities by Indonesia! Most importantly, its good to see that Indonesia is truly a strategic and military partner for the Philippines. I think Indonesia is the only country to produce such large scale military vessels for the Philippines --- NEW !
What is the current military to military relations between Jakarta and Manila? Are the two forging towards a military alliance?
Beautiful looking ship! I can see that the PN can put some ASM, AAM batteries on this baby and make it not just a strategic sealift, but command ship for their Filipino Fleet.

- Thanks, but still nothing compared to Japan, China and South Korea. This is just a baby step to embrace the world.
- Indonesia don't make "alliance" with anybody in traditional sense. But we do have strategic partnership agreement with many countries. And Indoneisa have Joint Defense Cooperation Committee (JDSCC) with Philippine.
- Navy can do a lot of things with this SSV, These are some roles she can play...

SSVs has Provision for Defensive Weaponry
21 Januari 2016

MANILA (PNA) --- The country's sealift strategic vessels (SSVs) have provisions for the installation of defensive weaponry.
This was disclosed by Defense undersecretary for finance, munition and material Fernando Manalo in reply to queries on whether the first SSV, which is scheduled for delivery this May, are fitting with defensive armaments.
"No but it will have provisions for the installation of defensive weapons," he said.
This means that some parts of the SSV, especially the bow and stern, are already capable of being fitted with weapons.
Weapons eyed for the Philippines' first SSVs are 76mm Oto Melara main guns and 25mm automatic cannons.
The first SSV was launched at PT PAL (Persero)'s shipyard in Surabaya, Indonesia Sunday.
"The SSV's weapons system will be solely on the discretion of our Navy, and I think they are preparing for that, at the moment I am not at liberty to divulge any of those arrangements, and as soon as the Navy has any information that is prepared to announce then we will," Armed Forces of the Philippines' spokesperson Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla earlier said.
The first SSV will arrived by May while the second will be delivered on May 2017.
The Philippines has a two-SSV order with PT PAL (Persero) for PhP3,870,000,000 which will be sourced from the AFP Modernization Fund.
The SSV acquisition project for the PN was initiated upon the approval of Acquisition Decision Memorandum Number 2012-060 by Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin last Oct. 30, 2013.
The Department of National Defense (DND) declared Persero as the Single Calculated Responsive Bidder with a bidding price of PhP3,870,000,000 on Nov. 18, 2014.
The SSVs are programmed to be the PN’s floating command center carrying out their main purpose as military sealift and transport vessels and also for humanitarian assistance and disaster response.
The ships are estimated to weigh around 7,300 gross register tons.
Further, these vessels are critical assets for civil-military operations due to their capability of transporting large number of soldiers, logistics, and supplies.
Moreover, each SSV has the capacity to house three helicopters. The Navy’s Augusta Westland-109s are programmed to be on-board components of these vessels.
These forthcoming landing platform dock strategic sealift vessels will improve the transport capability of the PN and boost the defense capabilities of the country.

After the 2nd SSV project completed, PH will have 3 option to further aquire this ship.
1. Buy without transfer of technology, the cheapest and fastest option if PN only need one or two more units, and don't have any plan to export this ship in the future
.
2. Get license right to produce at home. If PN plan to operate and maintain large number of SSV in the future (let's say at least 5 units), but don't have any plan to export this ship in the future.
3. Get transfer of technology and assistance to design and build. The most expensive option initialy but cheaper in a long run, give more flexibility and independence for PH to build and export

I believe Philipine, Thailand, and maybe Malaysia will order KFX/IFX in the future if the program end up success, and South East Asia Market of KFX/IFX is for Indonesia.
Singapore will still prefer F-35 or maybe order F 15 Silent Eagle as they always see Indonesia as their biggest Threat (because of that they will not order KFX/IFX)

South Korea will get huge market like Middle East region is for them, we only have South East Asia actually. But it is just an old information, I dont know any detail about recent agreement on the project like recent market share configuration.
