When it comes to Philippine infantry troops, how are they organized at the squad and fire team level?

How are they arranged compared to this?

US Army squad

2 fire teams, 9 guys

1 SSGT as squad leader

each fire team: 1 buck SGT as team leader,1 SAW gunner, 1 M203 Gunner, 1 M4/m16 rifleman

USMC squad

3 fire teams, 13 guys

1 SGT or full Corporal as squad leader


each fire team: 1 Lance Corporal as team leader (w/ M203), 1 SAW gunner, 1 assistant gunner (with spare SAW ammo and an M16), 1 rifleman with an M16

(Ready-Team-Fire-Assist doctrine)

references: US Field Manuals FM-21-75 and FM 7-8

PA should be the same squad component as the US Army, I'm not sure about PMC though.
