Captain Jonathan Zata, Philippine Navy (PN) spokesperson, said Admiral Tributs and Vinogradov made their first visit to the country in January 2018.
The visit of the three Russian vessels will last until Friday.
The arrival of the naval ships took place a month after the visit of Russian Navy commander-in-chief, Admiral Vladimir Korolyov, last March.
Zata said the head of the Russian delegation, Captain Sergey Alantiev, was welcomed by Captain Constancio Arturo Reyes Jr., PN staff officer for education and training.
