The BRP Hilario Ruiz (PC-378) is the eighth ship of the Jose Andrada class coastal patrol boats of the Philippine Navy. It is part of the first batch of its class ordered through US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) in 1990, and was commissioned with the Philippine Navy on 1 June 1995. It was initially designated as Fast Patrol Craft, and was numbered "DF-378", but later on was re-designated as Patrol Gunboat "PG-378". Another round of reclassification was made in April 2016, which redesignated the patrol gunboat as the coastal patrol craft BRP Hilario Ruiz (PC-377).
