Global Steel Philippines, the country’s largest manufacturer and exporter of hot rolled and cold rolled coils, said it will export over 60,000 metric tons of hot rolled and cold rolled coils for this month, 80 percent more than what is sold overseas during the same period the previous year.

Alberto M. Albano, president of the Philippine Iron and Steel Institute (PISI), the umbrella organization of local steel producers and traders, said that aside from GI sheets, other sectors to be affected are the fabricators of steel plates, tubes, pipes, steel purlins and frames and studs.
