As part of displays celebrating the 84th founding anniversary of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the Philippine Army (PA) included the armored vehicles from Indonesian arms manufacturer PT Pindad as part of the equipment display in Manila on 17 December 2019.
Filipino defense page MaxDefense Philippines posted photos of the Pindad Harimau medium tank, as well as the Pindad Anoa 6x6 wheeled armored personnel carrier (APC) among those displayed together with existing assets of the PA and other branches of the AFP.
It was also seen painted in PA vehicle paint scheme, although missing other markings found on PA vehicles. This suggests that the vehicles are indeed just present for display.
