And in this moment about 45.000 Philippine ones they draw their maintenance working for navalmeccaniche companies".
"Today - it has continued Aquino - we have the honor of officially giving the welcome in our nation to another society that will accelerate the increase in this field: Austal Philippines. Currently you are still a company in phase of development in our Country, but I cannot over the long term underrate the impact of your arrival. You have already completed the construction of a destined ship to the export and I have learned that other four ships will be finished within the turn of the year, what that total of 70 million dollars will bring a value and will appoint to a job about 300 Philippine ones and perhaps still more. Besides this, you have invested other 4,8 million dollars in order to improve the yard of Balamban, fact that I in the long term consider a sign of your engagement here and that here a day to perhaps take in consideration an ulterior widening of your activity and an ulterior assumption of our fellow citizens".
