RP urged to develop world-class shipbuilding development program

The Philippines should develop its maritime prowess up the next level by building world-class ocean-going vessels, Jack Enrile, economic and development consultant to his father, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, and the province of Cagayan, said. “We are a maritime nation and should improve our competence to world-class levels, not just by providing a third of the world’s seafarers but also by building ships ourselves, and this we can start doing at Port Irene,” said Enrile.
