The following are the areas were Pres. Arroyo tackled the issue about the Human Resource Management.
1. Science and Technology Human Resource Development Programs
PhP3.194 Billion was allotted in 2001-2009 to support 25,392 scholars under the Specialized Secondary Program of the Philippine Science High School. Of these scholars, 5,817 (22.9%) students have already graduated in SY 2000-2001 to SY 2008-2009.
Provided scholarship grants to 87,562 college and post-graduate students leaning towards the Natural Sciences and Mathematics with a total budget of PhP3.097 Billion from 2001-2009.
2. Entrepreneurship/MSME Development.
As of 2007, micro-, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) comprised 99.66% of the total establishments in the country. Given the significant role of MSMEs in the country’s development, the Arroyo Administration committed to provide credit, technology and marketing support for three million MSMEs and empower existing SMEs to generate additional employment through increased lending and promotion. With the launching of the SME Development Plan under President Arroyo in 2004, the government implemented various SME development programs such as financing, marketing and promotion, human resource development, product development, and advocacy, integrated into one enterprise development cycle.
Small Unified Lending Opportunities for National Growth (SULONG)
The SME Unified Lending Opportunities for National Growth (SULONG), established in 2003, simplified the lending procedures and guidelines for SME financing. The program features lowered and standardized interest rates and transaction fees, relaxed financial hurdles, uniform loan documentation, and relaxed collateral requirements.
The SULONG released PhP167.96 billion to 146,451 SME accounts from 2004 to May 2009, six (6) times more than the PhP26.76 billion released in 2003. These supported 2.5 million jobs, 30% of which or 750,337 were new jobs. Of this number, PhP73.24 billion worth of loans were released to 95,597 new/unique SME accounts/borrowers from 2004 to April 2009.
Microfinance
Government Finance Institutions (GFIs)/Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs). From 2001 to first quarter of 2009, around PhP165 billion in microfinance loans have been released to more than 6.9 million microfinance clients for their livelihood activities. This amount is about 46 times more than the PhP3.49 billion that was provided in 2001.
From 2004-2009, some 2.6 million new jobs have been created, surpassing already by about 30% the 2 million new jobs targeted through microfinance until 2010.
The Microfinance Lending Program for Government Employees. A total of PhP2.55 billion in loans was released to 183 government associations and cooperatives from 2007 to 2008.
One Town, One Product (OTOP)
To support local enterprises, promote entrepreneurship and create jobs, the One Town, One Product (OTOP) Program was launched in 2004 as a priority program of the government consistent with the 2004-2010 Medium Term Philippine Development Plan. The Program offers a comprehensive assistance package which includes business counseling, training, product design and development, and marketing, among others.
From 16 regional model OTOPs in 2004, a total of 1,353 municipalities and 129 cities are now active participants in the program. OTOP has assisted 29,639 MSMEs from 2004 to March 2009. For the same period, OTOP has generated 312,118 in employment, US$417 million in export sales, and PhP9.99 billion in domestic sales.
Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP)
For more focused programs of assistance to MSMEs, the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) was launched in 2002 to enhance the competitiveness of MSMEs through technological interventions. (see details in Science and Technology section)
Other MSME Accomplishments
Human Resource Development through SME Centers. From 2001 to 2008, business development services were provided in 84 provincial SME Centers. Eighty-eight (88) DTI-Business Counselors and 35 participants from partner LGUs and other agencies were trained to enhance their capability in providing business development services.
Community-based Enterprises. A focused program targeting community-based enterprises (CBEs) was initiated to establish and strengthen clusters, such as communities and cooperatives, linked to anchor firms to become a reliable supply base for export of indigenous material-based products. The program infuses interventions in the areas of skill and business/management trainings, consultancy services and product design, among others.
MSME Advocacy. To promote entrepreneurship, the advocacy campaigns were aggressively carried out by utilizing the media particularly radio, print, internet and various infomercials. Partnership with the private sector on advocacy campaign for MSME development has been intensified and synchronized under the banner of Go Negosyo.
To demonstrate MSMEs’ social payback role as well as its position in hunger and poverty alleviation, the President provided an assistance of PhP10 million to the Benguet State University (BSU) for the establishment of the Benguet Vegetable Processing Center and the commercialization of veggie noodles. She also directed MSME agencies to provide credit assistance to the project.
To date, the first floor of the facility has been completed and is fully operational. It has developed squash and other veggie-based noodle variants (e.g., malunggay, carrots). The project is also transferring the veggie noodle technology to other small-scale noodle processors and the private sector.
Through the production of affordable and nutritious food alternatives, the project hopes to contribute to the fight against hunger and malnutrition.
• Barangay Micro Business Enterprises (BMBEs). Signed into law on 13 November 2002, Republic Act (RA) 9178 or the Barangay Micro Business Enterprise (BMBE) Act encourages the formation and growth of BMBEs through rationalization of bureaucratic restrictions and granting of incentives, among others. The law exempts all BMBEs from income taxes and fees arising from the operations of the enterprise and exemption from the coverage of the minimum wage law. DOF released its Department Order 17-04 giving further guidelines on this matter. To date, 960 cities/municipalities have participated in the program.
• Magna Carta for MSMEs. On 23 May 2008, the President signed into law RA 9501 or the Magna Carta for MSMEs which aims to promote entrepreneurship and support the development of MSMEs through more coordinated government services and other benefits for MSMEs. RA 9501 makes credit more accessible to entrepreneurs by increasing from 8% to 10% the mandatory allocation of a lending institution’s loan portfolio for MSMEs, and imposing more penalties for non-compliance with this mandatory credit allocation. The law’s implementing rules and regulations were issued as DTI Department Administrative Order No. 09, series of 2008.
• Credit Information System Act. RA 9510 or the Credit Information System Act was signed by the President on 31 October 2008. The said law provides for a comprehensive credit information system for the collection and dissemination of accurate information on credit and credit-related activities of all entities participating in the financial system. This will address the need for reliable information on the credit standing and track record of borrowers to facilitate the decisions of lenders, thereby improving access to credit of borrowers.
3. Industries.
Under the Business Development Program (BDP) of the Arroyo Administration, opportunities were channeled for businesses and growth by developing further the priority industries identified in the Medium Term Development Plan. These priority products/sectors include: 1) processed food and beverages; 2) marine products; 3) organic, herbal and natural products; 4) mineral products; 5) home-style and living; 6) fashion; 7) construction materials;
motor vehicle (parts, accessories and assembly); 9) electronics; 10) ICT services; 11) logistics services and 12) health and wellness.
The Science and Technology Human Resource Development Programs of Pres. Arroyo is really help me because, as of now I am the beneficiary of the scholarship that the administrative had given. In this area, there are many Filipinos can go to school and have their college education by the help of the scholarship. When the Filipino people is educated, it makes us improved the quality of life.
The Entrepreneurship/MSME Development was Pres Arroyo was tackled. This program that the President was accomplished also helps us because of many jobs that the company was offering to the people. But when we see the reality, I saw many jobless people here in the Philippines. The other Filipinos were sacrificing their families and went to other country just to find a good job or even not good job at least a job. When we asked them why they need to do so, the answers are there are not enough jobs here in the Philippines. So, is really this program accomplished? Maybe some of this program was really helpful in the country all so to the Filipino as well.
The Industries was discus during SONA of President Arroyo was stated that under the Business Development Program (BDP) of the Arroyo Administration, opportunities were channeled for businesses and growth by developing further the priority industries identified in the Medium Term Development Plan.
