The vessels had a displacement of 132 tons and a top speed of 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph). The main armament was a single powered Emerlec EX 34 Mod 0 turret with two 30 mm cannons mounted forward of the main superstructure. The weapon system linked to an Elsag NA10 Mod 0 fire control system and Orion 10X fire control radar. Four .50 caliber and two 7.62 mm machine guns complimented this system. Philippine sailors were sent to Europe to familiarize themselves with this new system, unlike the existing manually operated turrets with manual fire control systems.
The Philippine Navy reportedly had problems keeping sailors training in their fire control and radar systems, which were themselves hard to maintain. The vessels were also grossly overpowered, having reportedly been designed with a top speed of 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph) in mind.
The class has an unsuccessful design, underpowered being not able to achieve design speed of 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph). Hull is of semi-planing type marine grade mild steel with a round mid body and a flat afterplane. Superstructure is marine aluminum alloy. Main deck watertight from stem to stern and to shell. Pilothouse steering and propulsion controls arranged to permit one-man controls. Communications systems installed adjacent to the pilot house and make them readily accessible.

PG 102 and 104 had their Emerlec EX 34 Mod 0 turret modernized, but this was later removed from PG-104 and replaced with a Bofors 40 mm L60 gun as per the latest picture available.
