GAME CHANGERS
IN THE E><PORT MARKET
MESSAGE

Amid the onset of an integrated ASEAN region and challenges in the global economy,
driving innovation and skills development among micro, small, and medium
enterprises become more relevant than ever.

As a key pillar of the Philippine economy, 99.6% of Filipino entrepreneurs who

contribute nearly 5 million jobs, the MSMEs have all the potential to sustain the
country’s growth momentum.

In Bicol, DTI is a proud partner of local MSMEs in pursuing growth opportunities in

the export market through innovation and skills development. For example, the
growing number of shared services facilities (SSF) to drive innovative and competitive
products like our wearable & homestyles and our food products has helped changed
the game in the exporting marketplace.

Also, our partnership with the local government units (LGUs) and the private sector
in the establishment and operationalization of Negosyo Centers helped MSMEs
in Bicol build their capacity in understanding and exploring opportunities in the field
of business.

The year 2015 also saw the expansion of our market capacity enhancement activities
including our first participation to the 12th Singapore Food and Beverage Fair to study
and gain exposure in the ASEAN and Halal markets.

Our participation to the seminars on trading with ASEAN and European Union (EU)
as well as openness to new business models like green development to promote
environment sustainability in our processes also transformed the way MSMEs in Bicol
approach their business.

The global competition for MSMEs’ place in the market is ever evolving. To grow and
sustain our MSMEs, the desire to outperform should be there. DTI-Bicol is delighted
to be a partner of our MSMEs in this journey of leveling up their competitiveness and
becoming game changers in the export market.

We thank all our stakeholders for a productive and successful 2015. Let’s continue
working together to grow our MSMEs.

 Market Capacity
Enhancement Program
DTI-Bicol implemented a comprehensive market capacity enhancement
initiative to help MSMEs expand into overseas markets.

CONSUMER-LEVEL PROMOTION
DTI-Bicol spearheaded Bicol’s participation to Food and Beverage
Fair Singapore 2015 under Bicol’s Food SME Business Development
Program promoting MSMEs from Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur,
Catanduanes, Masbate, and Sorsogon in niche markets in ASEAN.

Bicol food products were introduced to consumers and supply chain

players in Singapore and Malaysia. Local entrepreneurs from Bicol also
learned food trends and preferences through the program. Their exposure
to said markets in the region also provided business leads and opportunities
to further the MSMEs’ reach beyond the local market.

CHAMPIONING
CONSUMERS
BUSINESS MISSION

2
Local MSMEs interacted with buyers from Singapore and Malaysia through
a business mission in partnership with the Philippine International Trade
Center (PITC). MSMEs from Bicol visited key retail chains (e.g. Cold Storage,
Tesco, and Lucky Plaza and other hypermarkets in Singapore
and Malaysia), and participated in meetings on Malaysia’s halal program
and prospects.

DTI-Bicol is committed to encouraging enterprises

to build consumer trust in their products and
for these products to adhere to standards.

 CHAMPIONING Increasing Consumer
Awareness
CONSUMERS DTI-Bicol launched ‘Konsyumer Balitaktakan,’ a radio
program that aims to raise higher level of consumer
awareness through discussions on issues upholding
consumer rights, and product quality and safety.
Consumers are also given information on frontline
government agencies that support consumer protection
and other business issues.

Ensuring Consumers Get

the Best “Value for Money” Intensifying Monitoring
In its effort to safeguard the interest of consumers against and Enforcement Activities
some erring public market stall owners, DTI gave some one

public markets throughout the region.

 Protecting Consumers’ Interests
DTI-Bicol initiated a partnership with the Department of Social Welfare
Development (DSWD) through its program, Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino
Program or 4Ps. Before, consumer education seminars are normally
conducted in growth areas only, so this intervention will address
the low level of consumer awareness with regard to consumerism,
as DTI is mandated to promote consumer education in the
grassroots particularly the beneficiaries of the government’s poverty
alleviation program.

Regional Consumerism Challenge

To stimulate the level of awareness of students on consumer laws, rights
and safety, DTI-Bicol staged the 4th Regional Consumerism Challenge for
High School Students.

One of the objectives of this activity is to enhance the students’ interest

on consumerism and to strengthen the linkage between the DTI and
the Department of Education (DepEd) in providing consumer education.
This activity also develops sensible student-consumers who can make

127
better decisions.

projects that will be identified will surely enhance their quality of life.

 Green Economic Development
DTI, in partnership with German Sustainable development service provider
Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zesammenarbeit (GIZ), began
implementing the ProGED program in 2013.

Albay, Camarines Sur, and Sorsogon joined the DTI’s Promotion of Green
Economic Development (ProGED) of the German International Cooperation (GIZ)
to promote sustainable economic development through environment-friendly and
climate smart approaches in the way MSMEs do business.

DTI-Albay Provincial Office, being the pilot province to have implemented

the ProGED, initiated an activity, dubbed as “Albay Green Awards”, where some
establishments that practice green initiatives were given recognition. Entries
were categorized under 1) Green Enterprises; 2) Green Institutions (NGOs/
Other Private Private Organizations; 3) Local Government Units, and 4) National
Government Agencies/Institutions. Winners received Php50,000 to Php100,000
plus trophies.

 ASEAN Economic Community
Integration Advocacy
The onset of the ASEAN Economic Community integration provided
opportunities for Filipino MSMEs to start their business and globalize existing
enterprises because of further tariff reductions.

The European Union (EU) Generalized Scheme of Preferences Plus or EU-

GSP+ also opened opportunities for local MSMEs to expand business in the
EU following the preferential tariff coverage to about 6, 274 products.

As potential large markets for Philippine exports, the ASEAN and the EU
markets could benefit greatly the local MSMEs in terms of new opportunities
for innovative products and services and jobs.

To cater to these markets, the cities of Legazpi and Naga hosted the Doing
Business with ASEAN and EU Seminar in partnership with the DTI Export
Marketing Bureau. Some 300 MSMEs, industry partners, academe, and
other stakeholders attended said seminar.
