CASTILLEJOS, Philippines -- In the good times, when the giant Hanjin shipyard in Subic Bay was humming with orders, workers would gather in the nearby Hanjin village housing project to sing and drink into the night.
The celebrations took place twice a month on pay day, the fifth and the 20th. But this month, says Arnel Casta, a shipyard worker laid off in what is believed to be the Philippines biggest ever corporate default, "it has been quiet."
