President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. vowed on Tuesday to restore the Philippines’ standing in global shipbuilding as he led the revival of Subic’s shipyard under HD Hyundai Heavy Industries.
Hyundai’s investment doubles the yard’s capacity to 2.5 million deadweight tons, promising jobs for 4,300 Filipinos and stronger export potential.
To meet demand for a highly skilled workforce, the government’s Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has launched a Subic training hub with Hyundai, offering 16 maritime programs to ensure Filipino workers match global standards. — Jocelyn Reyes
