Unknown Filipino Airborne Shoulder Patch 1950s.

I posted this a week and half ago on WMF, no replies, so I figured it might get more looks here, and also figuring its alright to post here seeing that the Filipino Army is America's Baby. So Anyone know? We would gather it may be for a 1st Airborne Brigade or would it be more likely a Battalion?. Its a  mid 50s photo we think, that has traits as we see of the American, like the Para Cap Patch of unknown colors and Signal Corps Collar Discs, but with the Philippine Parachute Badge in metal.

I found the patch and it looks to be the Philippine Airborne Battalion SSI patch. The webpage said they were attached to the CIA at one point, but maybe I'm reading it wrong. The link to the history is below.

Thank You Steward, that settles that, a rare patch we should think, now we just need to find out what the color of the 50s Filipino Para Cap patch he's wearing  Because interestingly over the years there has been some odd colored Para Cap patches posted by members and who knows, maybe one of them was a Filipino one.

Could this be the cap patch?
