Competitiveness Roadshows set in
February for Central Visayas
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) organized a series
of competitiveness road shows for Local Government Units
(LGUs) in region 7 to present the Philippines Game Plan for
Competitiveness and promote the streamlining of business per-
mits and licensing system.
Expected to attend the road shows are LGUs participating in the
national competitiveness survey conducted by the National Com-
petitiveness Council (NCC).
The NCC was formed in October 2006 as a Public-Private Task
Force on Philippine Competitiveness by virtue of Presidential Ex-
ecutive Order No. 571, amended to E.O. no. 44 by the present
administration to address the improvement of the country’s
competitiveness from the bottom third of competitiveness rank-
ings to the top third by 2016.

Hotels, restaurants, resorts and other key tourism enterprises in
Bantayan Island came together and met with producers of organic
fruits, vegetables, and herbs, makers of decors and handcrafted
items from nearby municipalities and suppliers of solar panels,
batteries, LED and other green technologies in their efforts to
make their operations economically viable, environment friendly
and socially equitable.
The event was held at Ogtong Cave Resort in Sta Fe, Bantayan
Island on 22 January 2015. This is an offshoot of the value chain
workshops conducted on Bantayan Island where tourism stake-
holders agreed to make Bantayan Island a sustainable tourism
destination through integrating greening strategies in their opera-
tions.
The whole day event included inputs on green economy, exhibit of
green technologies, and a match making event where suppliers,
including farmers’ groups and women’s organizations were given
time to speak with accommodation and restaurant operators in the
island to identify their specific requirements in terms of products,
quality, price and volume. There was also a green exhibit and
technical inputs from suppliers of photovoltaic systems and
smaller energy efficient gadgets like low flow showers and dual
flush bowls to support the tourism enterprises in their efforts to
green their businesses. Most of the enterprises underwent an en-
ergy audit last year with the support of the ProGED Project and
technicians from the Cebu Technological University Affiliated Re-
newable Energy Center (CTU AREC). The ProGED Project also
supported a series of workshops and dialogues with the tourism
stakeholders in Bantayan Island to support the development of its
tourism sector.
The ProGED Project is a development cooperation project jointly
implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and Department of Trade and Industry
and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Coop-
eration and Development (BMZ) with the aim of increasing the
competitiveness of MSMEs by adopting environment friendly and
climate smart growth strategies. It will run for three years, from
January 2013 to December 2015. The ProGED Project, led by its
Project Manager Dr Volker Steigerwald, is also collaborating with
several government agencies, special development cooperation
projects and local government units to ensure synergy and lever-
aging of resources in facilitating sustainable development in Ban-
tayan Island.

During an employee performance recognition cere-mony recently held in Manila, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Regional Director Asteria Caberte bagged the 2013 DTI Employee of the Year (Executive Level) over 9 other finalists. In its System on Perform-ance, Rewards and In-centives (SPRInts) Awards, Caberte and another DTI staff were shortlisted as finalists of the DTI SPRInts Awards and the regional director bagged the coveted award for year 2013. Caberte, formerly DTI Bohol Provincial Director, assumed the Regional Officer after a well- de-served promotion years back. Like her notably well-performing stint in Bohol, her regional cov-erage allowed her a much greater responsibility, which she adeptly fitted herself in. Caberte was cited for her excellent response to ty-phoon Yolanda by bringing Diskwento Caravan to dis-aster-hit areas in Bohol and in Leyte, during the earth-quake and typhoon Yolanda. Herself, a calamity victim, Caberte readily organized a DTI team to assess damage to the business environ-
ment in Bohol and in Leyte and, setting aside her damaged home, she led a discounts caravan to even up the playing field and monitor compliance of the consumer laws, to make basic commodities accessible to all. “Her vigor and commitment in doing her job, belie the hardships
she had gone through a few weeks after the storm,” and the earthquake which damaged her home”, her nomination paper to the SPRints Awards stated. Moreover, her leadership has made DTI-Central Visayas among the best performing regional agencies in the coun-try based on the over-all agency performance, DTI sources also revealed. Caberte’s stint is rare in as much as the DTI, an agency comprised of over 3,000 em-ployees, has shortlisted some
56 employees and executives with the best performance and behavioral ratings by an internal evaluation team. The selection was based on the 9 core values of the trade in-dustry agency, according to the same DTI sources. A third party team composed of the Civil Service Commission, ISA, Career Service Executive Board, Commission on Audit and MetroBank Foundation evaluated the finalists, DTI said.

The Department of Trade and Industry’s Fair Trade Enforcement Bureau (DTI-FTEB) warned the public against the 43 unreputable freight forwarders, which were the subject of complaints from shippers and consignees for
non-delivery ofBalikbayan boxes.
“In its latest advisory, DTI-FTEB listed these erring foreign and local sea freight forward-ers to prevent consumers in patronizing their services. The advisory also cited the 54 for-eign freight forwarders/consolidators from Asia, Australia, Europe, Middle East and USA that have pending complaints pertaining to Balikbayan boxes,” DTI-Consumer Protec-tion Group (CPG) Undersecretary Atty. Victo-rio Mario A. Dimagiba narrated . The FTEB, a DTI-CPG line bureau, regularly posts its advisory of erring foreign and local sea freight for-warders for non-delivery of Balikba-yan boxes in the DTI website. The non-delivery of Balikbayan boxes usually occurs when foreign consolidators/ principal sea freight forwarders do not remit a portion of their col-lected charges to their accredited Philippine agents/ local sea freight forwarders to prompt the release and delivery of balikba-yan boxes. “When necessary funds are not remitted to accredited Philippine agent/ local freight for-warders, the shipment or the balikbayan boxes with the Bureau of Customs (BOC) will not be released and will not be delivered to consignees/ recipients”, Undersecretary Di-
magiba explains. Unfortunately,the DTI-FTEB records show that some incidents of undelivered balikbayan boxes involved freight forwarding companies with accreditation. Thus, we have already revoked the accreditation of D’Winner Logistics Phils. Inc. and Globalnet Interna-tional Freight, Inc. and currently seeking for revoca-tion of accreditation of Steadfast Air -Sea Interna-tional Incorporated for, together with its licensed Customs Broker/Mr. Victorino C. Guilles, Jr., aban-doning shipment consigned to it," Dimagiba under-scored. The DTI-FTEB implements an accreditation scheme for sea freight forwarding companies. As of 09 Janu-ary 2015, the DTI-FTEB has issued the accreditation
certificate to 664 sea freight forwarders, of which 57 are also engaged in handling Balikbayan box shipments.
Undersecretary Dimagiba stressed, “The accreditation scheme helps professional-ize the freight forwarding industry and the DTI will continue to strictly implement its criteria to weed out those companies that are not qualified to engage in this busi-ness."
The DTI enjoins the public to regularly check the following websites for guidance on which sea freight forwarders they can transact with and be assured in sending their Balikbayan boxes:

Contrary to the anticipation of lower sales in this year’s
Sinulog Trade Fair due to the visit of Pope Francis in
Manila and Tacloban, the event was able to generate
total sales amounting to P5.6 million, higher than last
year’s sales figure of P4.6 million.
The trade fair,
organized
annually by
DTI Cebu was
held at SM
City Cebu on January 8- 21.
The event was participated by 47 exhibitors who filled-up
56 booths.
Most of the exhibitors were local enterprises while others
came from neighboring provinces like Bohol, Baguio City,
Manila, Laguna, South Cotabato, and Davao City.
Product lines in the exhibit included GDH (Gifts, Decors,
and Housewares), fashion accessories, processed foods,
guitars, and health and wellness products.
DTI Cebu Business Development Division (BDD) Chief
Elias Tecson said that increased sales was primarily due to
the collaborative efforts made by DTI and local entrepre-
neurs.
Tecson encouraged the exhibitors to continually improve
their products especially in terms of quality, labelling, and
product design in order to obtain higher marketability.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) now offers the online early renewal of business name registration as part of its effort to provide an enabling environment for businesses to grow in the country.

Like-wise, we promote a pa-perless environment in government,” DTI-Management Services Group (MSG) Under-secretary Nora K. Ter-rado said. Terrado said that to avail of this scheme, sole proprietors may log on to the Business Name Registration System’s (BNRS) website at bnrs.dti.gov.ph, and process the renewal of their business name registration three months before its expiration. Within this period, online updating of business profile is allowed and free of charge. In the old manual scheme, change of busi-ness name information is done through DTI tellers with a fee of P65, which includes P50 renewal fee and P15 documentary stamp tax per transaction. “With this online early renewal scheme in place together with the electronic payment (ePayment) facility using BancNet debit card
or GCash, renewal transactions may now be processed through computers or mobile phones through the internet within 15 min-utes, anytime, anywhere,” Terrado said. The following fees will be based on the scope of business name being applied for renewal: barangay, P200; city or municipal-ity, P500; regional, P1,000; and national,
P2,000. Change of busi-ness name scope will be in accordance to current validation rules.

(VIDEO) Social theorist Mihaly Csikszentmiha-lyi asks, “What makes a life worth living?” Noting that money cannot make us happy, he looks to those who find pleasure and lasting satisfaction in activities that bring about a state of “flow.” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has contributed pioneering work to our understanding of happiness, creativity, human fulfillment and the notion of "flow" — a state of heightened focus and immersion in activities such as art, play and work. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives. A leading researcher in positive psychology, he has devoted his life to studying what makes people truly happy: "When we are involved in [creativity], we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life." He is the ar-chitect of the notion of "flow" -- the creative moment when a person is completely involved in an activity for its own sake. (Source: www.ted.com )

2015 CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE SURVEY
BUSINESS PERMITS AND LICENSING
SYSTEM (Renewal of Mayor's Permit)
The 2015 Business Permits & Licensing System Customer Experience Survey for businessmen transacting business with Local Government Units (LGUs) is now
ongoing!
The survey is annually conducted by the National Competitiveness Council (NCC), in coordination with the Regional Offices of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Through this survey, the NCC can evalu-
ate the experiences of entrepreneurs’ experience of renewing Mayor's Permit in their respective LGUs. This will help our
local governments to improve their ser-vices.
All information submitted in this survey
will be treated with utmost confidential-ity.

Competitiveness News
Stakeholder engagement campaigns are important to further drive up the growth of the Philippines, the National Competitiveness Council said.
Performance metrics should be institutionalized to instil a culture of com-petitiveness in government offices and give Filipinos with performance standards for government agencies, the council said in a statement sent to The FREEMAN newspaper.
These metrics include the Annual Enterprise Survey on Corruption by Social Weather Stations and Business Permits and Licensing System Customer Experience Survey.
“With information on what to expect from government, the public will be empowered to assess performance and hopefully demand better ser-vices,” it said.
“Ultimately, this competitive mindset is what will drive the Philippines to the top third of global rankings,” it also added.
NCC said its projects aimed to address various competitiveness issues have been linked to its dialogue and roadshow campaigns which have engaged different stakeholders.
Among the council’s programs to improve the country’s growth are Ease on Doing Business Task Force, Cities and Municipalities Competitive-ness Index, Liveable Cities Design Challenge and Islands of Good Gov-ernance.
In a previous interview, Guillermo Luz, NCC private sector co-chairman, said “greater focus and teamwork from among government agencies and the private sector” must further be improved to lead to greater competi-tiveness.
“We have learned that focusing on implementation yields results,” the public-private sector body noted.
Maintaining that focus on implementation will be the country’s big chal-lenge this year, it said. (by: Carlo S. Lorenciana of The Freeman) Source: http://www.philstar.com

The contest, made possible with the joint efforts of the Department of Trade (DTI), Department of Educa-tion and Dumaguete City LGU, was a project of a Dumaguete City consumers’ group “Consumer Advocates Inc.” (CAI). Launched in December 2014, the Clean and Green Interschool Contest sparked the interest of elementary
and high school children on ecology and environmen-talism, as well as strengthened consumer responsibil-ity. To encourage schools to participate in the Clean and Green Interschool Contest, CAI held a forum last Octo-ber 2014 for all public elementary and high school prin-cipals entitled “Orientation on Rescuing Wastes for a Clean and Green Sustainable Community. “ Panel of judges for the 2014 Clean and Green Inter-school Contest were composed of the following:
Mr. Gary Rosales, BPI Foundation Ms. Jean Utzurrum, Silliman University Ms. Irish M. Sequihod, St. Paul University
Contest sponsors included Romy Basmayor, Lee Super Plaza, China Bank, SUMCFI, Toyota Dgte, PNB Calin-dangan Branch, Luz Forbes, Ana Montebon, D.C. Crys-tal, Inc., Josy Limkaichong, Security Bank.
With the success of the Clean and Green Contest, CAI is now on the monitoring phase, mak-ing sure that the schools in-volved will continue with the projects they initiated. CAi is currently brainstorming ideas on how to ‘level up’ the contest. In the next phase, other areas of sustainable com-munity living will be involved such as: sustainable energy, sustainable homes and class-
rooms, sustainable transportation, deeper understand-ing of biodiversity and food production, sustainable wa-ter use and waste consciousness.
