The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will launch the Mentor ME (Micro Entrepreneur) Program, a free business seminar consisting of a series of mentoring sessions for existing and budding entrepreneurs, in Central Visayas on October 7 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel. The ‘Mentor Me’ program, a pilot project jointly developed by DTI and the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship (PCE), will have its regional pilot run in Cebu. The aim of the program is for MSMEs to scale up their business through the weekly theoretical, conceptual discussions and mentoring sessions by experienced entrepreneurs, and seasoned business lecturers on the different functional areas of entrepreneurship. The Mentor ME Program is divided into two phases and will run for 12 weeks. DTI 7 Assistant Regional Director Nelia Navarro said that the mentors are experienced entrepreneurs and seasoned business lecturers who have the heart to share their wisdom and formula for success to existing and budding entrepreneurs. “Beyond the books and seminars, our mentees will be inspired to listen to experiences of these entrepreneurs and will gain valuable learnings from the mentors,” she emphasized. Dir. Navarro underscored the significance of the Go Negosyo Act in bringing assistance to the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) to become more competitive as this sector comprise 99.7% of the registered businesses and is the backbone of the country’s economy. The agency also underscored the importance of the program to equip the local MSMEs with the needed skills sets, the right mindset, and business know-how to ultimately scale up and sustain their enterprise.

MANILA, September 29 (PIA)–Gilibkas na ang deployment ban sa mga Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) nga may balidong kontrata nga nagplanong mobalik og trabaho sa Libya. Base kini sa gipagawas sa Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) Governing Board Resolution No. 16 nga naglibkas sa deployment ban sa mga mobalik nga OFW sa Libya human gipaubos ang Crisis Alert Level 4 ngadto na sa Alert Level 2 (restriction phase). Kini nagpasabot nga tugotan lamang ang pag-deploy og balik sa Libya ang mga trabahanteng Pinoy nga adunay balidong kontrata diin kinahanglang isumiter sa mga nahisgotang OFW ang mga dokumentong gitakda sa Embahada sa Pilipinas sa Tripoli. Ang maong mga dokumento mao ang kopya sa ilang kasamtangang kontrata; sertipikasyon sa suholan ug benepisyo sa OFW; sulat gikan sa ilang employer nga nihangyong pabalikon ang OFW; garantiya nga luwas ug adunay seguridad gikan sa sertipikasyon sa kompanya; medical ug life insurance coverage; ug garantiya nga dali silang mapapaule base sa gisumiteng contingency plan. Apan matud pa ni Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Kalihim Silvestre Bello III nga mao usab ang pangulo sa POEA Governing Board, magpabilin pa gihapon ang deployment ban alang sa mga bag-ong OFWs hangtud walay gihatag nga pagtugot. Gisuspenso sa POEA Governing Board ang pag-proseso ug pag-deploy sa mga OFW paingon sa Libya niadtong Mayo 30, 2014 tungod sa kagubot sa politika sa maong lugar. Niadtong Hunyo 13, 2014, nagpagawas ang POEA Governing Board sa Resolution No. 9 diin may pipila ka skills categories sa trabahanteng Pinoy ang gitugotang i-proseso ug i-deploy pabalik sa Libya. Ug niadtong Hulyo 22, 2014, ang POEA pinaagi sa GBR No. 17 gidugangan ang skills... read more
PH to push ASEAN’s bid to engage Japan on innovation and MSME inclusivity—Lopez
As the Philippines chairs the ASEAN Economic Ministers’ Meeting (AEM) and Related Meetings for this year, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez is determined to advance ASEAN’s objective to engage Japan on innovation and inclusivity of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), during the AEM Roadshow to Japan from 6 to 8 April 2017. ASEAN economic ministers will also call on Japan’s top leaders and government officials in a consistent bid to strengthen bilateral relations between ASEAN and Japan. The AEM Roadshow will include site visits to some Japanese companies in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Wakayama. “ASEAN is keen to engage with Japan on the theme of innovation and on how this can strengthen not only industries but MSMEs,” said Sec. Lopez, chair of AEM, whose domestic advocacy on developing MSMEs through innovation aligns with ASEAN’s intention. The ASEAN delegation with ASEAN Secretary-General Le Luong Minh is set to meet Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Minister Hiroshige Seko of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), as well as some public officials. “Given Japan’s stature as one of ASEAN’s worthy trading partners and the continually growing trade between the two, we cannot stress enough the importance of this Roadshow in further strengthening relations between ASEAN and Japan,” he added. The trade chief also noted that during the first Roadshow in 2016, ASEAN economic ministers were impressed at what they witnessed in the showcase of Japanese resilience and human resource development.
