Philippine exporters urged to join the 2022 National Exporters’ Week

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) through the Export Marketing Bureau (EMB), in partnership with the Export Development Council (EDC) and the Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc. (PHILEXPORT), is set to resume the onsite conduct of the National Exporters’ Week (NEW) activities on December 1-7, 2022.

Last year, the NEW focused on global trends, export empowerment, and recovery through innovation, digital transformation, and new technology. This year, the NEW focuses on discussions and activities that will pave the way towards “Exporting Breakthroughs” for Philippine-based exporters and the Philippines as an exporting nation. It emphasizes the need to harness the experience, expertise, and knowledge of both public and private stakeholders in international trade and the need to build on our competitive advantage by pursuing innovation and diversification and cultivating a competitive mindset among all stakeholders.

“The thematic discussions and activities during 2022 NEW aim to capacitate Philippine exporters, particularly MSMEs, as they go through their exporting journey from developing their products and services, creating their marketing and promotion strategies, and delivering to their customers. We urge all our exporters to grab this opportunity to listen, learn, and participate in the diverse export-related topics and export marketing activities that will happen this 1st week of December. To be globally competitive, we must actively engage, learn and seek opportunities for continuous development,” Trade Promotions Group (TPG) Assistant Secretary Glenn G. Peñaranda said.

Meanwhile, PHILEXPORT President Sergio R. Ortiz Luis Jr. expressed optimism that despite the many challenges, the export industry can achieve its growth target of nearly $120 billion to $130 billion from exports of goods and services in the next five years.

“The next Philippine Export Development Plan is more aggressive, highlighting technology and stronger collaborations towards innovation, skills upgrading, and integration to help counter the negative impacts of issues such as red tape, supply chain disruptions, increasing business costs, climate change, and other challenges,” said Ortiz Luis Jr., also EDC Vice Chairman.

Every first week of December is declared Exporters’ Week per Presidential Proclamation 931, Series of 1996. The government and the private sector commit to working together continuously to sustain export promotion and development.

For this year’s celebration, a series of activities are organized for the Philippine exporters and would-be exporters free of charge. Four (4) Usapang Exports sessions will be lined up with extensive export-related topics, business-to-business matching activities, and an exhibition featuring exporters, export enablers, and e-commerce platforms and service providers. The event will be held at the Marriott Hotel, Pasay City. To register, visit the link: https://bit.ly/UsapangExports2022

Exporters will also be able to reach out, network, and seek guidance from our Export Enablers in the Exporters and Export Enablers’ Exhibit on December 5-6, 2022, which will feature export-related services of government agencies, financing institutions, startups, and other trade-related organizations.

As part of the 2022 NEW activities, DTI-EMB also collaborated with the International Trade Centre (ITC) and European Union (EU) Delegation to the Philippines for the ARISE Plus Philippines’ The Green Transition: Opportunities and Challenges for Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Philippines.

It will bring together international and national experts and practitioners to create awareness of the new agenda for sustainable growth of the EU, also called the ‘Green Deal,’ and to discuss the related opportunities and challenges for Philippine exporters and MSMEs in accessing the EU market.

Part of this collaboration is the institutionalization of the partnership of DTI and ITC for the SheTrades Hub in the Philippines, which was launched earlier during the 2020 National Export Congress. It aims to increase the international competitiveness of women entrepreneurs.

Philippine exporters with exemplary performance and contribution in 2021 will be recognized during the Exporters’ Night.

The culminating event for this year’s NEW, the 2022 National Export Congress (NEC) will be held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) on December 7,;2022. The NEC will cover the discussions on how the government aims to pave the way for exporting breakthroughs in the next six years. You may register at: https://bit.ly/NEC2022Registration.

The First Asia Internet Congress to be held in the Philippines

* click the image for larger view *

Internet has become a very useful tool for many different purposes. I clearly remember that De La Salle University (Manila) only had the internet connection in 1996. I was in third year college then and it amazed me how we can write "letters" and receive them in real time. People have become so hooked to email and internet and try to discover what the world has to offer. Telnet, the old term for chats, has taken all the computer laboratories by storm (or even by a hurricane!). My initial reaction to this internet phenomena was: How does that thing happen? Students cut classes and skipped meals, just to spend time online and try meeting new friends online within the school, outside Metro Manila and getting to know people across the globe. You'd hear the buzz of the keyboards in computer labs nonstop (take note: all seats taken till 9pm closing time)!

For over a decade now, blogging has played a great significant role in social media, marketing and business. Internet marketing gurus from different countries are gathered to share their expertise in The Asia Internet Congress to be held at the Crowne Plaza Galleria in Manila, Philippines, on March 4-5, 2010. With the theme, "Internet Marketing: A Click to Business Profit," people from the social media, business and marketing will surely gain a lot from this event.  

Who would have thought that email can be instrumental in generating loads of money? I'd like also to know their secrets on how they turn things online into dazzling, shimmering and splendid cash. 

Learn from the internet marketing experts like: Alvin Phang, Fabian Lim, Jo Han Mok and Jaz Lai (Singapore), Simon Leung (Hong Kong), Donald Lim, Ian del Carmen, Lloyd Luna, Nix Nolledo and Joel Disina (Philippines).

The Congress will cover a gamut of topics including (but not limited to):

• Internet Trends and Opportunities
• Best Practices in Internet Marketing
• Search Engine Marketing
• Social Media Marketing
• Email Marketing
• Copywriting
• Blogging
• Corporate Branding in the Internet
• Passive Recurring Income through membership sites
• WordPress
• Everything You Need to Know on How to Start an Online Business

The 7^th National Teachers Congress on Visual Impairment

This year’s National Teachers Congress on Visual Impairment will be held at the APO View Hotel in Davao City on Dec. 4-7, 2008, with the theme: Facing the Challenges of Inclusive Education for Learners with Blindness and Visual Impairment. Educators, school administrators, parents of blind children, and interested parties from all over the country will gather in this event.

Speakers will highlight innovations or new strategies on teaching blind students. The Congress aims to improve the skills of regular and special education teachers for them to be able to mainstream blind students in regular classrooms. It also intends to identify strategies to overcome the challenges faced in providing quality education of blind children.

RBI and the Bureau of Elementary Education will recognize teachers who have demonstrated outstanding performance in their program for students who are blind. Loyalty awards will also be given to teachers who have been in service for more than 30 years.
