I n t h i s i s s u e : ugust precipitated the launching of more

common service facilities in Central Visayas for MSMEs to access

better technology and address gaps in the value chain of industry

clusters.

On August 4 , DTI turned over to the Candabong Rural Improve-

ment Club Multi-Purpose Cooperative a Shared Servie Facility

(SSF) for the processing of Ginger-based products in Loboc,

Bohol. Also in August, DTI provided SSFs for the processing of

agri-based products to cooperatives in Sibonga and Carcar,

Cebu.

Along with the German Technical Agency Promotion for Green

Economic Development (ProGED), DTI also spearheaded a

monitoring and replanning meeting for green growth advocates

from other areas of the country. The purpose of the meeting was

to assess progress of the project to date and identify the gaps in

the implementation of outcomes of activities while addressing

new and emerging challenges.

Meanwhile, the SME Roving Academy (SMERA) project in the

four provinces of Central Visayas continues to provide entrepre-

neurs with business seminars to increase their competitiveness.

The Department of Trade and Industry

(DTI) launched the Shared Service Facility

(SSF) for Ginger Processing on August 4,

2014 in Candabong, Loboc, Bohol.

DTI turned over to Candabong Rural Improve-

ment Club Multi-Purpose Cooperative the com-

mon service facility in order to provide ginger

processors access to better technology and ad-

dress production gaps

Market demand for quality ginger products has

increased with the awareness of consumers and

standards imposed by international and local

tourists.

The ginger processing facility helps coopera-

tive members maintain the quality standard in

the production of ginger candy and ginger

tea, improved the marketability of their ginger

-based products, and ascertained that these

products comply with the requirements of

food safety standards.

The DTI’s Shared Service Facility program

granted the Candabong RIC MPC a set of pro-

duction equipment including Cooker Mixer for

cooking the Salabat, Electric Form-Fill Ma-

chine for the packing of salabat, Pillow-Pack

Machine for the packing of ginger candy, Digi-

tal Weighing Scales, and Stainless Steel Ta-

bles.

The Department of Trade and Industry has

been supportive in the development of the gin-

ger based business through business consultan-

cies and capability trainings, specifically on food

safety and Good Manufacturing Practices.

A Shared Service Facility or SSF is a project

that entails the setting up of common service

facilities to give MSMEs access to better tech-

nology and address gaps in the value chain of indus-

try clusters.

Our minds are like radio devices, they send and receive different

messages based on the frequency they are tuned to.

If you currently believe that its impossible to change your reality

then you will always be tuned to find obstacles instead of possibili-

ties.

But what if you started thinking about possibilities instead of diffi-

culties? Won't you be tuning your mind to think of possible ways to

change your reality?

Yes that's absolutely right, the first step to changing your reality is

to tune yourself to the frequency of possibilities by

believing that a change is possible.

False beliefs might prevent you from changing

reality

As soon as you will start to think of possibilities

your false beliefs will emerge to the surface such as

assuming that few failures in the past will lead to

new failures in the future. In this case you must

remind yourself that all people who succeeded in this world failed

numerous times before.

The second step in changing your reality is to spot these false

beliefs and question them until they weaken.

The past doesn't determine the future

Our brains usually assume that a certain bad mood will remain

forever just because we have been living with it for a while but

that's not true.

Who said that feeling bad today means that you will feel bad to-

morrow?

Who said that tomorrow will be like today?

Who said that nothing can be changed?

Of course nothing will change if you didn't take

actions and if you didn't start moving. If you want

to change your reality then know that you are the

only one who can change it and unless you move

now things will remain the same. (Source: http://

In two separate ceremonies, the Department of

Trade and Industry (DTI) 7 turned over on Au-

gust 18 common service facilities for the process-

ing of agri-based products to farmers’ coopera-

tives in Sibonga and Carcar in Cebu.

The Gabay sa Bagong Pag-asa (GBP) in Barangay

Napo, Carcar and the Nagkahiusang Mag-uuma sa

Balaas (Namaba) in Sito Balaas, Barangay Guim-

bangco-an in Sibonga are two of the beneficiaries of

DTI’s Shared Service Facility (SSF) Program com-

mon service machineries and equipment for the

processing of agri-based products.

DTI turned over to the farmers’ cooperatives a de-

shelling machine, chopping/grinding machine, des-

iccated dryer machine, carbonizing drums and char-

coal briquetting machine.

Namaba chairman Zosimo Olanda has expressed

appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to the DTI for

the machineries and equipment that are expected

to help increase the coop’s production capacity to

15 percent.

DTI believs that the project has the potential to

benefit neighboring towns in the south in terms of

supplying raw agricultural products that will then

be processed by SSFs in Carcar and Sibonga.

The SSF project aims to improve the quality and

productivity of microenterprises and small and

medium enterprises (MSMEs) by addressing gaps

and bottlenecks in the value chain through the

common use of processing machines and equip-

ment.

The DTI-Negros Oriental conducted a seminar on the Intellectual Property Rights in cooperation with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPO). This was attended by members of the aca-deme and some entrepreneurs in the province. The seminar was meant to raise the public’s aware-ness on the role of intellectual property on trade and how it can be used to make businesses more

competitive.

The following tips for greening your office is by no means an

exhaustive list, but a way to get started in making the work-

place more environmentally friendly.

1. Use electricity wisely.

Turn off all equipment that doesn’t need to be left on at the

end of the day. When leaving a room for more than a few

minutes, switch off the lights. Take advantage of natural

sunlight as much as possible.

2 . Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Simply put: Don’t buy stuff you don’t need. And, when you

do make a purchase, bring your own bags.

3. Use environmentally friendly office products.

Start small – 100% recycled paper, refillable ink cartridges,

non-toxic highlighters, etc.

4. Use non-toxic cleaning products.

Encourage your cleaning company to use green cleaning

products and if they won’t, switch to one of the many com-

panies that o use environmentally friendly products.

5. Make eco-friendly food choices.

When ordering lunch for an office meeting, how about going

vegetarian (or even vegan, if you dare)? Cutting down on

meat can have a huge impact on the health of the planet.

6. Telecommuting

Encourage working from home, particularly for workers who

would normally drive to work. This cuts down on pollution

and increases time availability.

7. Transportation

For those who do come to the office on a regular basis, en-

courage (and help arrange) carpooling, use of public transit,

biking, or walking.

8. Aim for a paperless office.

Though the paperless office may still seem unrealistic, at

least try to cut down on printed material when possible. Use

100% recycled content paper products in the office.

9. Institute a casual dress code.

Not having to wear suits in hot summer months can help

keep cooling costs down (and make for a happier work-

place).

10. Fair trade & organic.

Buy fair trade, organic coffee and teas for the office. If em-

ployees prefer to go out for their hot beverages, encourage

them to take their own mugs. More importantly is the reduc-

tion in waste from not having to throw out paper or Styrofoam

cups.
