Jane’s lists the Philippines as a user of the Paveway IV Smart Bomb as cited in a United States (US) Congressional document that was released recently.

As far as I know, only the OV-10 Bronco aircraft of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) uses the Paveway bomb as of now since the FA-50PH Fighting Eagle is not qualified for it yet.

The A-29B Super Tucano aircraft for delivery this year (2020) can also use the Paveway Bomb. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said in their Trade Register that an unknown quantity of Paveway bombs were received by the Philippines in 2018.
