The Azkals are set to face Malaysia in a return friendly on April 27 in Cebu City, almost two months after the Filipino booters settled for a scoreless draw in Kuala Lumpur last March 1.
The Philippine Football Federation confirmed the development on its website late Thursday, giving the Azkals a third friendly for the month of April.
In the middle of their buildup for the Asian Football Confederation Challenge Cup in May, the Thomas Dooley-mentored Azkals will also face Nepal on April 11, before going up against Qatari club team Al-Ahli three days later, with both matches to be held in Doha.
