TAGUIG CITY—DTI’s shared service facilities (SSF) beneficiaries on coffee processing, native bag making, and fiber marketing were the recipients of the first-ever Kapatid Awards at PLDT’s MVP Bossing Awards 2016 on 23 November. SSFs on coffee processing from Mountain Province, Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), on pandan and bariw bag making from Leyte, Region VIII and on fiber marketing expansion from Agusan del Norte, CARAGA received awards for exhibiting sustainable and inclusive growth models that contribute to the improvement of the quality of lives in said communities. Receiving the awards were representatives from SSF cooperators Dangdang-ay di Ibila Cooperative from CAR, Sto. Niño de Plaridel Parish Multi-Purpose Cooperative from Region VIII and San Isidro Upland Farmers Multi-purpose Cooperative from CARAGA. The SSF Project is a key component of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)’s initiative to capacitate micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by providing them appropriate machinery, equipment, tools, systems, skills and knowledge under a shared system. As backbone of the Philippine economic growth, composed of 99.6% of locally registered businesses, generating over one million job a year, MSMEs have become the government’s current priority, with the DTI placing MSME development at the forefront of regional development and at the front and center of the trade agenda. “Aside from keeping the country moving towards a more strategic direction at the backdrop of regional development, the government, through the DTI, vows to pursue meaningful growth that is truly inclusive, the one that reaches the bottom of the pyramid,” said DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez, who was also one of the recipient of the MVP Bossing Awards in government service.

TAGBILARAN CITY, November 22 (PIA)–Gipasidan-an sa Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ang publiko sa pagpalit sa pipila ka branded nga mga tambal tungod sa pagkatap sa mga pekeng produkto. Base sa FDA advisory, apil sa mga nakuha nilang sample nga nadiskobrehang peke nga nikatap sa kamerkadohan mao ang Dolfenal, Tuseran Forte, Diatabs, Alaxan ug Neozep. Susama ra gayud ang peke sa tinuod nga produkto mao nga lisod alang sa usa ka konsumidor nga mahibaw-an kun tinuod ba o peke ang tambal. Mao nga tambag sa FDA, mopalit lamang og tambal sa mga botikang otorisado sa ahensiya.

Japan business org to help PH SMEs
Officials of the Japan Management Association (JMA), a business support organization in Japan, recently met with Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC) Executive Director Nestor Palabyab to express interest in helping small and medium enterprises in the food industry. JMA is eyeing partnership with PTTC in training Philippine small and medium enterprises (SMEs) engaged in the processed food industry in further capturing the big market of Japan. Palabyab expressed interest on the training content proposed by JMA pertaining to technical food standards, food safety, packaging and labeling for the Japanese market. PTTC currently assists the food industry to level up the competitiveness of food exporters in the international market through training programs that focus on conformance to international standards. “Philippine trainers need to be updated with the trend,” Palabyab said considering the non-tariff requirements strictly imposed to exporters. PTTC is an attached agency of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) mandated to design and implement training programs on export marketing and management, entrepreneurial management, quality management and productivity, and trade exhibition management and...No Results Found

With aid from Australia and Korea, in the next four to five years, Bohol will implement over P350-million worth of projects. This after Gov. Erico Aumentado will sign this coming Friday separate MOAs with the Republic of Korea through the Korea International Cooperation Agency (Koica), and Australia through the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) in rites to be held in Quezon City. Aumentado and three other governors will sign with Managing Director Sung-ho Choi of Koica’s Economic Development Department, and Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap the records of discussion (R/D) for the construction of modern integrated rice processing and milling complexes (RPCs) in four provinces – Bohol, Iloilo, Pangasinan and Davao del Sur. The project aims to raise the farmers’ incomes through better storage, processing and milling – and therefore less wastage. The RPC will be equipped with efficient and affordable drying, milling and processing facilities. Bohol’s RPC will be located in Pilar town that is also the site of the Malinao Dam of the Bohol Irrigation Project Stage I (BHIP 1).

IF you think the unusual calm after the heated debates regarding the airport in Panglao is an indication of another government flop, think again. The lull may be because, as the timetable shows, this time of year, or precisely between February to July, the project’s detailed engineering works would be prepared by project consultants. And Provincial Legal Officer Handel Lagunay added, “come August to September, bidding for the constructions’ civil works would be posted, bid andf awarded to hit the actual work schedules on the first week of October.” The Philippine Japan Airports Consultants (Phil-JAC) are expected to complete the detailed engineering works for the P4.7 B Panglao Bohol International Airport Project (PBIAP) in July, Lagunay said. The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) funding the project has also approved the negotiated contract amount of P290,226,140 for the specified work, he pressed. According to him who heads the Capitol liaison office for the multi billion project, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has incorporated Panglao Airport in her grand plan to package Central Visayas as the country’s tourism super region and it would be completed in time when the president ends her term. Earlier too, Governor Erico Aumentado has proposed P2M master-planning of the island to develop the airport surroundings in the context of an “airport city.” Bohol local officials claim that a rationalized planning for Panglao deters the uncontrollable building of any vertical infrastructure once the project would be constructed. The MIAA now funds the Aumentado proposal, which is currently taken care by Palafox and Associates. Local governments and separate government sources have manifested intent in cost-sharing, news reports in Bohol...SPIN naghatag panginabuhian sa mga tawo sa kabaryoan

WOULD the World Bank (WB) delegation’s visit to Catigbian recently be a sign of good things to come, we may know soon. No less than country director for the Philippines Bert Hofman admitted amazement as he led the WB team of officials in visiting their funded projects in this agricultural town. The team, comprised of operations and portfolio manager Maryse Gautier, social development network leader Mark Woodward and other officials came for WB 2009 Portfolio Review Field Visits.
