Generating disjoint incompressible surfaces

We show that one can embed an arbitrarily large collection of disjoint, incompressible, non-parallel, non-boundary-parallel surfaces in any compact, orientable 3-manifold with at least one boundary component of genus greater than or equal to two.We also provide an answer to the open question, Question III.16, from Jaco's book, Lecture Notes on 3-Manifold Topology.
