That is an interesting purchase for the philippine Air Force GTX, 10 KF-21 Boramae Block 1s.

It's just an offer at this stage. Personally I doubt it will come off.

The design of the KF-21 emphasizes reduced radar cross-section (RCS) characteristics and provisions for future upgrades to include full stealth capabilities. It features a delta-wing configuration with canards to provide agility and maneuverability. The design includes a provision for an internal weapons bay in later variants and utilizes composite materials to lower weight and optimize performance.

Canards?

An interesting development for the Boramae if they ever develop it. The KF-21 will become the second 5th Generation fighter to feature canards after the J-20.

The JAS-39 would be a good choice for the Phillipines.
