We are way behind our neighbors, but we will catch up,\u201d said SteelAsia Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Yao.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cAnd as we do so, our mills and steel products will create new manufacturing industries that will result in more jobs, higher-skilled workers, and economic growth, among others,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">He noted that in 2022, the country spent over $3 billion on importing wire rods, billets, sections, and sheet piles \u2014 products that the new plants will produce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThe steel produced by these new plants will be used in infrastructure, construction, and various downstream steel-intensive manufacturing industries,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">SteelAsia currently operates six plants in Batangas, Bulacan, Davao, and Cebu, supplying over 70% of all rebar used in infrastructure, housing, power, industrial, and other business developments in the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">These six facilities have an annual finished steel capacity of three million metric tons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Mr. Yao also said that expanding to more locations in the Philippines will help reduce transport costs, enabling the company to offer its products at consistent prices nationwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Two weeks ago, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. attended the inauguration of SteelAsia\u2019s plant in Cebu, which is expected to have an annual capacity of one million tons of rebar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">During the inauguration, Mr. Marcos urged the Department of Trade and Industry to update the Philippine steel industry roadmap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Last April, SteelAsia secured an P8.3-billion loan from the Government Service Insurance System, the Development Bank of the Philippines, and the Philippine Business Bank to support the completion of its plant in Lemery, Batangas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">The same project was endorsed for green lane treatment by the Board of Investment\u2019s One-Stop Action Center for Strategic Investments. <b>\u2014 Justine Irish D.
