It is part of the second batch of its class ordered through US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) in 1993, and was commissioned with the Philippine Navy on 22 May 1996. She is currently in active service with the Littoral Combat Force, Philippine Fleet.
It was initially designated as Fast Patrol Craft, and was numbered "DF-386", but later on was re-designated as a Patrol Gunboat, and was finally re-numbered as "PG-386". Another round of reclassification was made in April 2016, which redesignated the patrol gunboat as the coastal patrol craft "PC-386".
