The South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries is notable in securing at least three of the Philippine Navy's acquisition projects, as these contracts come with at least ten warships, with eight of those vessels still in the process of either in the finalization of critical design review to at least the actual construction process of the vessels.

This makes it viable for the shipbuilder to set up shop in the country, specifically a facility that can cater not only the warships that the Philippine Navy ordered but also serve as a potential facility that may actually produce warships if the naval service branch opts for adding more warships into its fleet.

South Korea's HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is now opting to have a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility inside what is now called the Agila Shipyard in Subic, itself once known as the facility of another South Korean shipbuilding firm, the Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction or HHIC.
