With the houses in place, travel time to and from work will be minimized.
Free Food
Hanjin through HACOR Phil, its catering company, also situated in the said shipyard, provides adequate meals for its entire employees, three times a day on a daily basis. This is truly most helpful for employees to bring more “bacon” at home for their families.
