PLDT Enterprises, #GoNegosyo continue to propel MSMEs forward

Manila, Philippines: 10 June 2019
PLDT Enterprise, the B2B arm of the country's leading ICT and digital services provider, recently fortified their decade-long partnership with Go Negosyo, the advocacy
group of the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship-in an effort to sustain the latter's digital enablement programs.

The partnership, which began in 2008, has always advocated the empowerment of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by providing them with access to the latest information and technology.

Throughout the years, PLDT has supported the different programs of Go Negosyo via mentorship programs, technology enablement  workshops, and knowledge sharing-prepping next generation business owners to become digital entrepreneurs.

Today, Go Negosyo's headline project is the formation of its Angat Lahat sa Digital Alliance, which brings together 30 digital platform brands in an effort to create an ecosystem that will allow MSMEs to thrive.

Given such mission, the partnership between PLDT and Go Negosyo aims to build digital platforms in order for small businesses to connect their people , data, core applications,  and customers through products that are both accessible and secure.

"Go Negosyo is fortunate to have PLDT as one of our greatest supporters in the entrepreneurship advocacy. Ever since our early yeard, we have partnered with PLDT in providing our micro and small entrepreneurs mentorship, and now in digital age, PLDT equips our MSMEs with better connectivity and business solutions that will enable them to reach wider market. We encourage all MSMEs to maximize digitalization which democratizes the ecosystem for all products and services, making it more inclusive for everyone", Presidential Advisor for Entrepreneurship and Go Negosyo Founder Joey Concepcion said.

Championing for the three M's of entrepreneurship, namely, mentorship, money and market, the advocacy group has given prominence to the tourism sector, youth groups and family enterprises-effectively empowering a greater number of budding entrepreneurs with tools for success.

" With over 900,000 registered MSMEs in the country, we believe that our economy can truly benefit from the steady growth and transformation brought by entrepreneurship," said FVP & Head of PLDT SME Mitch Locsin.

" This year, we at PLDT Enterprise have renewed our commitment to empower the MSME sector with all new products and plans fitted to their needs," said SVP & Head of PLDT and Smart Enterprise Business Groups Jovy Hernandez.

" We are extremely honored to continue our relationship with Go Negosyo to reach even more Filipino entrepreneurs and provide them with the tools they need to compete with industry players," added Hernandez.

Ultimately, the said endeavor aims to uplift the local business landscape to strengthen the economic position of ASEAN-attracting new technologies and investors that will further propel the country's steady economic boom.

" The work that Go Negosyo is doing is good for our entrepreneurs, it's good gor business, it is good for the country. In fact, the contributiond of Go Negosyo are even more valuable today than when this movement started a decade ago," Chairman and CEO Manuel  V. Pangilinan said at the recent contract signing ceremony between the two parties.

Among fruits of the said partnership is the year- long digital mentorship program, Mentor Me Online, as well as ASEAN-centric events and forums.

#DOSTPH Highlights its marine biodiversity efforts as World celebrates Environment Day

As the world prepares to celebrate the World Environment Day on June 5, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) focuses its own celebration with the success of its Councils' efforts on marine biodiversity.

A fitting focus as the Philippine archipelago is part of the " Coral Triangle," an area in the Indo-West Pacific region that contains the world's highest marine biodiversity (coral and reef fish diversity ), with the Philippines known as the center of marine biodiversity with the highest concentration of species per unit area (Carpenter and Springer, 2005 as cited in State Coasts 2012).

Through the Department's Technology Media Conference , a regular promotional activity that introduces the latest DOST technologies, programs, and projeclts, DOST draws attention to the importance of the R&D efforts it has made on the country's very rich, unique, and productive marine biodiversity. This ecosystem encompasses important coastal and marine habitats, which support numerous marine flora and fauna including globally threatened species.

DOST and its two R&D Councils have funded projects on marine biodiversity that cover genetic, species and ecosystem diversity of the different life forms  (e.g. marine plants, animals and microorganisms as well as the genes that they contain and the ecosystem that they form) found in the marine environment for conservation and management, resource and ecosystems assessment and monitoring; and for sustainable utilization of the marine resources.

Some of the initiatives funded under DOST and the Philippine Council gor Agriculture; Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) include the following:

* The Philippine (formerly Benham) Rise Program, which aims to develop a Deep Sea Resources Research Center that will coordinate and implement researches in the Philippine Rise, and subsequently in other deep sea areas of the Philippines. Primary data gathering for basic and applied research has been initiated.

* R&D program on Corals, which conducted the first documentation of the mesophotic resources in Abra de Ilog and Apo Reef Natural Park in Occidental Mindoro. The deep or mesophotic coral ecosystems studies are challenging and the ecosystem itself is poorly documented as they occur at depths of 30-150 meters.

* Studies on the biology and exploitation of commercially-valuable mollusc resources in Western Visayas is an inventory of commercially-important mollusc species in the island of Panay.

* Research on giant clam: Giant clams are essential players in coral reef ecosystems because they serve as food and shelter to many marine organisms. Restocking marine ecosystems with these giant clams enhances local diversity and abundance of organisms on the reef.

* DNA barcoding of selected marine fishes in Davao and Sulu Archipelago; a project which aims to initiate a DNA barcode library of economically and ecologically important fish species in Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and Davao Provinces.

DOST and the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD) also has the Integrated Assessment and Modelling of Blue Carbon Ecosystem for Conservation and Adaptive Management (IAMBlueCECAM) Program. This is the country's counterpart project to Japan's Comprehensive Assessment and Conservation of Blue Carbon Ecosystems and their Services in the Coral Triangle (BlueCARES) Project.

It was conceptualized based on the aims of and considering the need to further advance BlueCARES on the utilization if space technology and geo-simulation.

The numerous R&D efforts and initiatives of DOST and its Councils underscore the valuable role of marine biodiversity in the country's economic and environmental integrity and sustainability.

With the celebration of the World Environmental Day, DOST, as well as PCAARRD and PCIEERD, further commits to the conservation and sustainable management of the country's marine resources and biodiversity through S&T. (DOST-PCAARRD S&T Media Services)

DOST-PH marks 2019 World Metrology Day

The National Metrology Laboratory of the Industrial Technology Development Institute (NML-ITDI ) of the Philippines reopened its newly-renovated Mass Standards Laboratory (MSL) on May 20, 2019 coinciding with 2019 World Metrology Day.

Purchasing of new equipment and renovations were made in the laboratory to provide a higher level in scope of its services. MSL can now provide calibration of OIML Class E2 weights-- increasing its spread from a range of 1 mg-1 kg to 1 mg-50 kg. Meanwhile, for calibration of non-automatic weighing instruments, the addition of new equipment allowed its scope of services to increase from 60 kg up to 300 kg.

Numerous public and private calibration laboratories in the country are availing themselves of these new calibration offerings.  Now, they do not have to ship their equipment to foreign laboratories for calibration--making NML’s services more cost-effective, and yet with the same level of accuracy as those offered by laboratories abroad.
