products, one of which was a warship manufactured by the National

Philippines, and our weapons are made to meet orders of Arab countries,"
Ryamizard stated, after releasing the second warship made by PT. PAL

continue to be improved. He appreciated the Philippines government for
its cooperation in developing the maritime sector.
