Basically someone is molesting Philippines air space, could be just passing without permission or reconnaissance or try to test Philippines response capability.
So it got detected by radar.
Maybe just a way for US and Philippinos to send a masage to Chinese.
We have Vera and weible
Did Phillipino detect it using passive radar?
They have japanese AESA radar at Subic if i am not mistaken
Seems SCS and surrounding is seeing more and more this type of flights....reflecting the increasing important nature of the area from geo-politic and military stand point.
I can not believe that China will not want to do the same...i.e. sending flights for intelligence gathering

You all need to read those news again more carefully, both the Phil AF FA-50 intercept story and flying wing picture are different event altogether even though both were claimed to happened on the same day.

Merdeka.com - The Indonesian Air Force has made a procurement program for the latest series of C-130J Hercules aircraft which are currently being produced by Lockheed Martin. The Air Force Chief of Staff, Air Marshal Fadjar Prasetyo, said the latest series of Hercules will significantly increase the capabilities of the Indonesian Air Force.
"With the C-130 J type aircraft, I believe the Indonesian Air Force will be able to significantly increase its capabilities, especially in air transport operations," said Kasau while visiting the Lockheed Martin aircraft manufacturer, Bethesda, Maryland, United States. This is the information received by merdeka.com, Thursday (9/9).
The presence of Kasau and his entourage at Lockheed Martin was especially welcomed by Rod Mclean, Vice President and General Manager for Lockheed Martin's Air Mobility and Maritime Missions Organization, and his entire staff.
Kasau said the C-130 Hercules aircraft had become the backbone of the Indonesian Air Force. In addition, he is often involved in every military operation, humanitarian aid and disaster management.
"Moreover, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Indonesian Air Force C-130 has an important role in its handling efforts, especially in distributing the Covid-19 vaccine and various medical equipment throughout Indonesia," said Kasau.
During his visit, Kasau also received an explanation about the development of the C-130J Hercules aircraft ordered by the Indonesian Air Force which is currently being produced at the aircraft factory. The rafters also saw firsthand, the C-130 J production line and the C-130J Hercules simulator and training facility.
"I believe this visit will provide a better understanding of the C-130 J and C-130 training, so that the Indonesian Air Force can improve its operational capabilities from these aircraft," he explained.
Accompanying the Kasau during the visit were the Danjen TNI Academy, Asintel Kasau, Asrena Kasau, Aslog Kasau, and Kadisaeroau, as well as the Indonesian Defense Attaché for the United States.

My own personal speculation would be; depends on whether we get permission to have Eagle II or not. Our AU still maintain heavy fighter doctrine air supperiority use afaik. Those Hercules deal was made when Matis was in charge of SoD as part of bargaining chip to have caatsa waiver, Im not sure if its still apply or not in todays current condition & with the new US administration.
