Thousands of Filipino workers could be hired in the construction of new military bases on the U.S. territory of Guam, Gov.

He said he expected skilled Filipino workers to fill job demands that can't be met by local labor alone.
"It is not exclusive but the likelihood is that most will be from the Philippines," Camacho said. Chinese workers will not be hired because of security concerns related to work on military bases, he said.
The buildup will cost at least $15 billion. Japan is covering $6 billion of the bill.
Camacho was in Manila as part of the Guam Trade Mission, which local executives organized to spur interest among Philippine companies in investing into Guam.
The trade mission drew more than 150 senior executives from several Philippine companies on Tuesday. They represented companies from the technology, real estate, construction, insurance, financial services, agriculture, aquaculture and medicine.[The Subic Bulletin] Maybe some of the abused workers at Hanjin could get jobs where they are not beaten and abused by their employer.
