PBBM, aprubado ang Export Dev’t Plan para ipuwesto ang Pinas bilang exporting hub-DTI

INAPRUBAHAN ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., ang Philippine Export Development Plan, naglalayong palakasin ang mga industriya ng bansa at ipuwesto ang Pilipinas bilang isang ” potential exporting hub.”

Kinumpirma ni Department of Trade and  Industry (DTI) Secretary Alfredo Pascual sa briefing  ng Presidential Communications Office (PCO) na napag-usapan ang Philippine Export Development Plan sa isinagawang sectoral meeting kasama ang mga cabinet officials sa Palasyo ng Malakanyang.

“We presented to the President the proposed Philippine Export Development Plan, which the (Department of Trade and Industry) DTI formulated pursuant to the EXport Development Act of 1994. As already mentioned, this defines the country’s export thrusts, strategied, programs, and projects and we sought the President’s approval which we got this just some of couple of additions to the plan,” ayon kay Pascual.

“The PDP aims to address challenges that we face in various  sectors of the economy, particularly those sectors taht are involved in or potentially could be involved in exports. Our proposal is actually in line with the Philippine  Development Plan, which was earlier released  by the administration,” dagdag na wika nito.

“This export development plan will capitalize on export growth opportunities considering market trends, and the available or existing competencies in the Philippines, among our industries. It seeks to undertake an industry development-centric approach to make the Philippines a major player in the global economy and achieve sustainable development goals,” lahad ni Pascual.

Inamin naman ni Pascual na ang Philippine Export Development Plan ang “susi” para mapahusay pa ang export industry ng bansa.

“So we must develop reliable, design-driven, techonology-drive,sustainable, and forward-looking exporters to become or to make the Philippines an agile export powerhouse.As you may know, the Philippines is lagging behind our neighboring  countries when it comes to export,” aniya pa rin.

” We can consider ourselves as laggards currently, so this plan will help us uplift the government’s or  I mean, the Philippines’ performance in exports. It may not be to yet, match the levels achieved by the more-progressive neighbors that we have, but it will certainly improve the volume of our exports,” dagdag na wika ni Pascual. (Daris Jose)
