rePost:Bam wants foreign ships to have access to local ports

During one of the committee hearings, it was disclosed that it is cheaper to send products from other countries to the Philippines than to ship goods within the country.
For example, the cost of shipping a 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU) from Kaoshiung, China to Cagayan de Oro is $360 or P16,000 only.
However, the cost of shipping the same cargo from Manila to Cagayan de Oro will cost $1,120 or almost P50,000.
