NEGOSYO, NOW NA!: Si Aling Danilla – Bagong bida sa negosyo (2)

Mga kanegosyo, kahit chairman na tayo ng Committee on Education at Science and Technology ngayong 17th Congress, hindi pa rin natin iniiwan ang isa sa pangunahin nating adbokasiya sa Senado, ito ay ang pagtulong sa mga negosyanteng Pilipino, lalo na ang mga micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

Kung inyong maaalala,­ ang kauna-unahang batas na naipasa natin bilang senador noong 16th Congress ay ang Go Negosyo Act o Republic Act 10667, na naisabatas noong July 15, 2014.

Sa ilalim ng Negosyo Act, magkakaroon ng Negosyo Center ang lahat ng lalawigan, siyudad at munisipalidad sa buong bansa na siyang magbibigay ng iba’t ibang tulong upang mapalago ang ating MSMEs.

Dalawang taon ang nakalipas, nais kong ibalita sa inyo na 270 na ang Negosyo Centers sa buong Pilipinas. Inaasahan natin na ito’y lalampas sa 300 bago matapos ang taong kasalukuyan.

Ngayon, mas marami nang Negosyo Centers na puwedeng lapitan ang mga negosyante para makakuha ng puhunan nang walang collateral­ mula sa iba’t ibang ­financing institutions.

Makakakuha na rin ng iba pang tulong ang ating mga negosyante, tulad ng training, mga payo sa pagtatayo ng negosyo, pagpapatakbo, product development, marketing, access sa merkado at iba pang suporta.

Isa sa mga nakinabang sa tulong ng Negosyo Center ay ang mag-asawang Melvin at Myrna Rojo, dating OFWs sa Brunei na ngayo’y may-ari ng ‘Myrnz Creation Philippines’ na gumagawa ng masarap na cake sa Iloilo City.

Ngunit isa lang ang mag-asawang Rojo sa libu-libong mga nego­syante na natulungan ng Negosyo Centers.

Sa mga susunod nating kolum, ilalahad natin ang mga kuwento ng tagum­pay ng mga negosyanteng lumapit at natulungan ng Negosyo Centers.

Unahin natin ang kuwento ng tagumpay ng Lemunada de Concepcion, na mula sa aking bayan sa Concepcion, Tarlac.

Ang Concepcion Calamansi Growers and Rice Cooperative, na pinamumunuan ni Nemencio Calara. Noong 2013, nagsimula silang magtanim ng kalamansi na ginagawa nilang juice.

Sa una, limitado lang ang kanilang nagagawang produkto at naaabot na merkado dahil sa kakulangan ng pasilidad at kaalaman upang ito’y maipakilala at maipakalat sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng lalawigan.

Noong December 2015, nabigyan ng pagkakataon ang koopera­tiba na palakasin ang produksiyon at benta ng kanilang mga produkto nang magbukas ang Negosyo Center sa munisipyo­ ng Concepcion.

Sa tulong ng Nego­s­yo­­ Center, nakakuha sila ng kasanayan sa product development kung paano mapaganda ang kanilang produktong calamansi juice, mula sa packaging hanggang sa produksyon.

Nabigyan din sila ng technical support sa paggawa ng calamansi juice at kailangang kagamitan para gumawa nito, sa pamamagitan ng shared service facilities ng Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Malaki rin ang naitulong ng Negosyo Center sa pagpapakilala ng Lemunada de Concepcion sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng munisipalidad, pati na rin ng buong lalawigan.

Ngayon, ibinalita sa amin ni Ginoong Calara na patok na Lemunada de Concepcion sa merkado. Dagsa na rin ang alok sa kanilang dalhin ito sa iba pang parte ng lalawigan.

Isa ang Concepcion Calamansi Growers and Rice Cooperative at ang produkto nilang Lemunada de Concepcion sa mga Bagong Bida sa Negosyo, sa tulong ng Negosyo Center.

Kung mayroon kayong ideya sa negosyo, huwag na kayong mag-atubiling lumapit sa Negosyo Center sa inyong lugar. Malay niyo, kayo na ang susunod nating tampok sa Bagong Bida sa Negosyo.

NEGOSYO, NOW NA!: ‘Mentor Me’ program

Mga kanegosyo, isa sa mga mahalagang tulong na makukuha ng isang nagsisimula sa negosyo ay ang turo at gabay mula sa isang subok o kilalang negosyante.

Makailang ulit na na-ting binanggit sa ating kolum na ang pagkakaroon ng tamang mentorship ay daan tungo sa matagumpay na negosyo.

Ito ang layunin ng Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) nang simulan nito ang ‘Mentor Me’ program tatlong buwan na ang nakalilipas.

Sa aming panayam kay DTI Assistant Secretary Bles Lantayona sa programang Go Negosyo sa Radyo sa DZRH kamakailan, mayroon nang dalawang pilot area ang nasabing programa sa Laguna at Mandaluyong.

Sa paliwanag ni ASEC Bles, napakahalaga ang gabay at payo na makukuha ng isang papausbong na negosyante mula sa mentor na bihasa at may malawak na karanasan sa pagnenegosyo.

Kabilang sa mga mentor na nagbibigay ng tulong ay mga matagumpay na entrepreneurs at mga negos­yante na may puso na ibahagi ang kanilang kaalaman at formula sa tagumpay sa mga bagong negosyante.

Ayon kay ASEC Bles, malaking tulong ang karunungang bigay ng ‘mentor’ o iyong mga nagtuturo sa mga ‘mentee’ o iyong mga tuturuan para magtagumpay.

Sa tulong ng magaling na mentor, magkakaroon din ng inspirasyon ang isang mentee upang masundan ang yapak ng nagtuturo.

Mahalaga rin ang pagkakaroon ng unawaan o rapport sa pagitan ng mentor at mentee kaya tinitiyak ng DTI na naipaparating nang tama ng isang mentor ang kailangang kaalaman sa mga tinuturuan.

Ayon kay ASEC Bles, nakatakda na ring simulan ang ‘Mentor Me’ program sa Zamboanga, Iloilo, Cebu, Cavite, Tacloban, Cagayan de Oro City, General Santos City, Davao City, Baguio, Tarlac at Lanao de Norte.

 

***

Isa sa mga mentee na nakapanayam namin ay si Jay Menes, isang stage performer na naengganyong magnegosyo na kabilang sa mga unang batch ng mga dumaan sa ‘Mentor Me’ program.

Sa kuwento ni Jay, aksidente lang ang pagkakapasok niya sa ‘Mentor Me’ program sa Negosyo Center sa Mandaluyong.

Balak lang kumuha ni Jay ng business permit ngunit naalok ng isang taga-Negosyo Center na sumali sa programa. Sa una, akala ni Jay na isang beses lang ang seminar ngunit tumagal ito ng 12 Biyernes.

Kakaiba ang karanasan si Jay sa ‘Mentor Me’ program dahil nabigyan siya ng daan upang mailabas ang kanilang mga ideya sa negosyo at maranasan ang praktikal na aplikasyon at totoong nangyayari sa merkado.

Para kay Jay, sulit ang 12 Biyernes na kanyang pinagdaanan sa ‘Mentor Me’ program dahil marami siyang natutunan sa iba’t ibang aspeto ng negosyo.

***

Natutuwa tayo sa pagbuhos ng suporta ng DTI sa Go Negosyo Act, ang kauna-unahang batas na aking naipasa noong 16th Congress.

Sa ngayon, mayroon nang 270 Negosyo Centers sa buong bansa, ang huli’y binuksan sa Capas, Tarlac kamakailan.

Ang mga Negosyo Center na ito ay handang tumulong upang matugunan ang pangangailangan ng mga papausbong na entrepreneurs at matatagal nang negosyante para sa lalo pa nilang pag-asenso.

Senate Bill No. 707: National Quality Infrastructure Act

This bill seeks to facilitate the development of a culture of quality through providing a sound and effective National Quality Infrastructure that allows the development and compliance with increasing quality requirements and that can support the national authorities in their mandates for consumer protection, free trade, environmental protection and other societal objectives from a technical point of view.

With the imminent development of the ASEAN Economic Community in 2016, the capacity of the country to develop more competitive products, services and systems and to support industries to show compliance with both internal and external market requirements is a top priority to take full advantage of trade flows in terms of socioeconomic growth.

While the country is making great progress in many competitiveness and ease of doing business indicators, there is still substantial room for improvement, particularly when it comes to facilitating the access of Philippine MSMEs to foreign markets (the 12th edition of the Doing Business Reports shows the need for improvement in the trading across borders dimension).

A critical aspect of technical development and market access is the capacity of the country to implement and show compliance with mandatory and voluntary technical requirements. Technical compliance is supported by a number of interlinked activities, many of them of voluntary nature, which are usually collectively referred to as the National Quality Infrastructure. This includes standardization, accreditation, and metrology.

The need for a coordinated quality infrastructure has been already identified in the Philippines Development Plan 2011-2016: The government shall set up a National Quality Infrastructure to integrate and coordinate a series of activities involving metrology, standardization, testing, and accreditation and certification.

The reason for the existence of the National quality Infrastructure is to have the necessary institutions and practices that allow the different stakeholders to develop and show compliance with technical requirements and strive for increasingly higher levels of quality beyond the mandatory accepted level set out in technical regulations. Therefore it is not only a resource for more competitive products and services, but it is also used by government to support the definition of and compliance with safety, health, fair trade and consumer/environment protection and is used by Government in its dual roles of public purchaser and as overseer of service providers in both the public and private areas.

While the country has already a number of Republic Acts addressing the need for institutions and practices dealing with Consumer Protection, including the usage if National Quality Infrastructure that also address the need to support the Philippine economy in developing products, services and systems of quality levels beyond the mandatory requirements set out in technical regulations. 

Based on all existing institutions mandated to develop National Quality Infrastructure related activities, and on the need to increase coordination amongst them, the need for greater ownership by the private sector in contributing to the governance and strategy of those activities, and the need to promote increasing levels of quality for products, services and systems, there is an urgent need to create a national vision of the quality infrastructure for the country. 

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this measure is earnestly sought.

Senate Bill No. 355: Charter of the Philippine Trade Representative Office

The Center for Global Development in Washington D.C. ranked the Philippines as the most resilient economy among 21 countries studied. Our island nation ranked number one above South Korea and China, second and third respectively.fi]

The country is also considered among the most entrepreneurial countries in the world in a report produced by Approved Index.[2]

The Philippines is now considered a highly competitive player in the market of foreign direct investments thanks to our robust economy and the great potential of our workforce.

In 2014, our country’s net foreign direct investments reached a record-breaking 6.2 billion U.S. dollars – a stark improvement from our 2010 net FDI of 1.07 billion U.S. dollars.[4]

To maintain this competitiveness, we need to improve trade negotiation and facilitation and ensure that we have a cohesive and coherent trade policy that upholds the country’s national interest.

The Charter of the Philippine Trade Representative Office kick-starts this initiative by creating the Philippine Trade Representative Office or PTRO. The PTRO is tasked to consolidate and harmonize all existing functions from various government agencies such as the Bureau of International Trade Relations under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Attaches and Permanent Missions to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Association o f Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and United Nations International Organization (UNIO), and the trade negotiating and policy making functions of the Tariff and Related Matters Committee (TRMC). This is in order to enhance the formulation of domestic and national priorities that should drive our trade positions and negotiations.

The PTRO shall also form the Multi-Sectoral Advisory Committee (MSAC) that will compose members from both government and civil society, including representatives from the agriculture industry, labor sector, small business, service sectors, retailers and consumer groups, to advice the office on trade matters in relation to the country’s achievement of its economic goals.

Our country is now open for business. Let’s pass the Charter of the Philippine Trade Representative Office to bolster our positions and voice in the international trade community.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

Senate Bill No. 349: Inclusive Business Promotion Act

In the recently concluded Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation or APEC Summit held in the Manila, we had the first ever high-level discussion on Inclusive Business, which promoted the idea of companies taking part in development, not just through philanthropy but also through their products and supply chains.

Under this inclusive business umbrella are social enterprises as well as large corporations that utilize their products, services, or even their supply chains to help poor communities create a sustainable industry and become financially successful.

This concept of business taking part in nation-building and social development is finally catching on and all over the world, allies in the fight against poverty have found an effective weapon – conscientious entrepreneurship – to beat poverty and create prosperity.

There is no better time than now to establish policies in support of this movement.

“Inclusive Business (IB),” as defined in this measure, refers to “a business approach that provides decent work and economic opportunities or relevant and affordable goods or services for poor and low income and/or marginalized sectors of society by making them part of the organization’s core operations as producers, consumers, workers, owners or business partners, directly contributing to improved living standards, poverty reduction and systemic inclusion in a manner that is sustainable, in scale or scalable, and replicable.”

The Inclusive Business Bill provides for the establishment of a national strategy for the promotion of Inclusive Businesses to be implemented by a new office, the Inclusive Business Center. The bill also provides policies for IB accreditation, and providing support and incentives for IBs and their community partners, including social enterprises.

A key strategy for providing sustainable livelihood and reducing poverty, especially in the countryside, is by integrating poor communities as suppliers of goods and/or services in the value chain of large businesses.

Inclusive Business companies can serve to link poor communities to more viable markets, enhancing economic opportunities and sources of income, and enabling them level up from subsistence livelihood.

Let us enjoin the private sector to take part in the creating shared prosperity in our nation.

In view of the foregoing, that passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

Senate Bill No. 176: Poverty Through Social Entrepreneurship (PRESENT) Act

This measure provides the framework for the planning and implementation of a National Poverty Reduction Through Social Entrepreneurship (the “PRESENT”) Program. The PRESENT Bill provides a nurturing environment for the growth and burgeoning of strong and innovative Social Enterprises as tools to reduce poverty.

A “Social Enterprise” or “SE” as defined in the proposed bill, refers to a social mission- driven organization that conducts economic activities providing goods and/or services directly related to its primary mission of improving the well-being of the poor, basic and marginalized sectors and their living environment. A social enterprise explicitly declares and pursues poverty reduction as its principal objective by purposefully rendering both transactional and transformational services. An SE engages and invests in the poor to become effective workers, suppliers, clients and/or owners and ensures that a substantive part of the wealth created by the enterprise is distributed to or benefits them.

In addition to reinvesting its surplus or profits back to the enterprise to sustain the fulfillment of its social mission, a SE also uses its surplus or profits and mobilizes other resources to assist the poor to become partners in SE or value chain management and governance and to become partners in community, sectoral and societal transformation.

This is in line with Article XII, Section 1 of the Philippine Constitution which states:

Section 1. The goals of the national economy are a more eqilitable distribution of opportunities, income, and wealth; a sustained increase in the amount of goods and services produced by the nation for the benefit of the people; and an expanding productivity as the key to raising the quality of lifefor all, especially the under-privileged.

The challenge for Social Enterprises is how to become an effective poverty reduction tool. In the face of this challenge, government must play a supportive role to ensure that the appropriate systems, structures, and resources needed to support Social Enterprises are put in place. Government must help these new breed of entrepreneurs to acquire resources, build successful organizations, and achieve significant positive impact. 

A nation’s economy is not stagnant – a new social investment models, ways of doing business, and impact measurement tools continually arise. These changes at times distort and blur the once clear boundaries among the traditional nonprofit, for-profit, and public sectors. It is time that a Social Enterprise be officially recognized and defined in order for the government to be able to give it adequate support. 

In view of the foregoing, approval of this bills is earnestly sought.

Senate Bill No. 1532: Innovative Startup Act

At the 2015 APEC Summit, the world saw a glimpse of Philippine innovation as Aisa Mijeno shared the story of her SALt Lamp, a lamp that is powered by saltwater, suitable for households along the rural coastal villages that have little or no stable access to electricity.

It is vital that we give all such ideas the chance to come to life. Through this bill, Filipinos with excellent startup business ideas will benefit by being given the necessary support—in terms of registration, incentives, subsidies, funding, technical assistance, accreditation and assessment, and a budding pool of talented workers that will aid them in the steep uphill one faces when putting up a business.

This bill aims to put in place the ecosystem necessary to cultivate startups in the Philippines.

By supporting the startup ecosystem from focal points, we ensure that startups have a reasonable chance at success and are given the opportunity to impact society with innovative business and products that can truly help us achieve our imperative of inclusive economic growth. 

By creating the ecosystem for startups to operate, we bring more citizens into the fold of inventive and socially conscious entrepreneurship.

In view of the foregoing, the passing of this bill is urgently sought.

Senate Bill No. 170: Trabaho Center In Schools Act

This year marks the final stage of the K-12 curriculum roll out with the nationwide implementation of Senior High School (SHS). An additional two years of secondary schooling will provide specialized academic tracks to prepare students for postsecondary education or alternatively, equip them for employment directly after high

school.

There is a need to follow through on the intent of K to 12 and provide the infrastructure for Senior High School graduates who chose to enter employment to be able to find those opportunities.The creation of a job placement office through the Trabaho Center aims to address this need.

There are three main things that the Trabaho Center shall focus on: Career Counseling Services, Employment Facilitation and Industry Matching.

Career Counseling Services shall be offered to help guide the students on the tracks they choose in Senior High School.

Employment Facilitation is envisioned to assist the needs of a job seeker or the senior high school student. This includes but shall not be limited to resume writing, pre-employment seminars and job fairs.

Industry Matching on the other hand aims to address the needs of the industries by providing graduate listings and resume profiling of students to companies. Close coordination with PESO and TESDA are also needed to have a thorough database of job opportunities in the localities and to immediately coordinate further training that might be needed with TESDA based on particular employment opportunities.

The Trabaho Center is envisioned to be the first institutionalized office in all senior high schools that is mandated to aid in facilitating employment for all Senior High School graduates. 

Through the Trabaho Center, the needs of our nation’s graduates, businesses in the country, and the vision of the Department of Education come together to make the most of our curriculum reform and help us move closer to shared prosperity. 

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.

NEGOSYO, NOW NA!: Negosyo mula sa bente pesos

Mga kanegosyo, una sa lahat, humihingi ako ng paumanhin sa matagal na pagkawala ng kolum na ito.

Ilang buwan din tayong nawala dahil tumayo ako bilang campaign manager ni vice president Leni Robredo noong nakaraang halalan.

Kasabay nito, pansamantala ring nahinto ang ating programa sa radyo – ang Status Update – sa DZXL 558.

Sa ating pagbabalik, nais kong ibalita na nagbabalik tayo sa radyo bilang co-host ni Cheska San Diego sa programang Go Negosyo sa Radyo – sa DZRH 666 KHZ — sa pakikipagtulungan ng Go Negosyo at MBC.

Mapakikinggan ito tuwing Biyernes, mula alas-dos hanggang alas-tres ng hapon. Mapanonood din ito sa livestream sa dzrhnewstelevision.tv.

Sa nasabing programa, pinalitan natin si Mon Lopez, na itinalaga ni Pangulong Duterte bilang kalihim ng Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

***

Kabilang sa mga naging panauhin namin sa programa ang mag-asawang Rosiell at Rudy de Leon, may ari ng Bianca and Nica’s Ice Candy Factory.

Maganda ang istorya ng mag-asawa dahil sinimulan at pinalaki nila ang negosyo gamit lang ang bente pesos na puhunan.

Kung titingnan ngayon, malayo ang kalagayan sa buhay ng mag-asawa nang simulan nila ang negosyo noong 2011.

Walang trabaho noon si Rudy at naubos na ang kanilang ipon sa bangko. Nag-aaral din ang dalawa nilang anak, kaya desperado na si Rosiell sa paghahanap ng ikabubuhay.

Hawak ang bente pesos na natitira nilang pera noon, naisip ni Rosiell na magtinda ng yelo dahil sila lang ang may refri­gerator sa kanilang lugar noon sa Antipolo.

Ginastos ni Rosiell ang bente pesos para bumili ng 100 pirasong plastic ng yelo. Nang maibenta ito, lumago ang kanilang puhunan sa P300.

Ginamit naman ito ni Rosiell para bumili ng sangkap sa paggawa ng 100 piraso ng ice candy. Ibinenta niya ito sa ha­lagang limang piso kaya lumago sa P500 ang kanilang kita.

Dito na nagsimulang lumaki ang negosyo ng mag-asawa, na ipinangalan nila sa dalawang anak.

Ayon kay Rudy, nakuha nila ang ideya na magtinda sa paaralan mula sa kanilang mga anak.

Upang pumatok sa mga bata ang kanilang produkto, itinakda nila sa tatlong piso ang presyo ng ice candy at dinagdagan pa ang flavor.

Nagbunga naman ang hakbang na ito dahil sa unang buwan, kumita ang mag-asawa ng P400,000 sa eskuwelahan ng kanilang mga anak.

Sa sumunod na dalawang taon, umakyat sa labintatlo ang mga eskuwelahan na naaabot ng kanilang produkto.

Sa kasalukuyan, nagbebenta na ang Bianca and Nica’s Ice Candy Factory ng 24 flavors sa mahigit 100 paaralan sa National Capital Region at sa lalawigan ng Rizal.

Ang kuwento nina Rosiell at Rudy ay magandang inspirasyon at aral sa mga nais magnegosyo. Walang imposible sa pagnenegosyo, basta’t tama ang lokasyon at swak ang ibebentang produkto sa merkado.
