On the afternoon of July 24, 2008, the SPIN Program was launched at the Island City Mall Activity Center. It was an event with a talk show format where the panelists were Regional Director Aster Caberte f DTI-VII, Mr. Jennifer Cruz of 33.3 Exports, Engr. Ramir Bongahoy of Cebu GTH Foundation, and Col Raul Reyes and Col Cesar Yano of the AFP. They were there to talk about the SPIN Program and how it affects each branch they represent. The talk show was hosted by Jojie Villamor of DTI – VII.
The SPIN program is about how to develop sub-contractors/exporters in the countrysides. It hopes to place in the minds of the sub-contractors the consciousness of quality products and provide jobs in rural areas. So far the SPIN Program has been able to do trainings in Siquijor, Cebu, Bohol, Negros Oriental, Leyte and hopefully Region 6.
This program is a joint project between the government and the private sectors. It runs on the theme of “Magtulungan at Magkaisa Laban sa Kahirapan.”
After the talk show, it was followed by an MOA signing and pictorial of the SPIN program members.
