In order to accomplish this, it is considering two options that both require raising large amount of funds. First option (Project X) is the construction of a factory building and acquisition of machineries for an estimated cost of P30 million. The other alternative (Project Y) is the acquisition of an existing company that manufactures the same tool at a price of P50 million.
