It feels like a signal to the US that Philippines isn't going to get involved in a fight with China unless they are attacked.

The FA-50 has a combat radius of approximately 444 kilometers (239 nautical miles) when configured with a centerline fuel tank, two AIM-9s, and two AGM-65s. The single-seat variant of the FA-50, with a 300-gallon auxiliary fuel system, is expected to increase this radius by 20% to 30%,
Do you the distant from Puerto Princesa airbase to Kalayaan Island in the SCS? 520 km
The distance between Puerto Princesa City and Pag-asa Island is approximately 280 nautical miles (520 km), which is about 320 miles. This island, also known as Thitu Island, is located in the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea and is the administrative center of the Kalayaan municipality.
So when we do the math this aircraft is ideal for COIN operation NOT to patrol the SCS.
