Kumita talaga.

Maraming may trabahong Pinoy marami ing nakikinabang tulad natin. mayroon ba ang Frito lay nyan o pepsico?

Malakas din dito yung Hany chocnat

Yung kamag-anak ko sa Canada at Dubai aba ay namakyaw ng isang kahon ng boy bawang at hany chocnat at dinala pauwi sa Toronto/Vancouver at sa UAE. Sikat daw sa mga Pinoy dun....

Palace preparing EO compelling agencies to buy local products
By Max V de Leon
Business Mirror
Monday, May 5, 2008
DOMESTIC manufacturers see their hurting businesses getting a new lease on life with the order of President Arroyo requiring government instrumentalities to prioritize locally made products in their procurement.

Jesus Arranza, president of the Federation of Philippine Industries (FPI), said this is a big boost for them considering the government is the biggest market, particularly in infrastructure-related products.
“It will expand the market of local manufacturers and encourage them to expand,” Arranza told the BusinessMirror.

Arranza said with a budget of over P1 trillion, they are just hoping to capture at least 20 percent of the government’s spending and the local industries will be in better shape.
He said even those that are currently experiencing low utilization rate due to stiff competition from imported items will be expanding their production capacity.

More important, Arranza said by blocking government’s procurement of imported items, smuggling will also be curbed.“If the government, which is the biggest consumer, stops buying imported items, smuggling will also stop,” he said.

The government should fully implement this EO.
