Bohol Can Supply the Global Market

PIA

BOHOL non government organizations (NGOs) want the administration to take a closer look at the onset of globalization as a convenient vehicle for Bohol’s communities to hitch ride on out of poverty.
 
At least this was one personal view of a veteran organizer involved in community development work here.
 
Admitting he is not as familiar with the new administration’s development directions compared to the Aumentado Administration, Engr. Vicente Loquellano said he wished communities could engage the government in regaining the bid for Bohol to supply the global market with its products.
 
As executive director for People’s Fair Trade and Assistance Center (PFTAC), Loquellano has his NGO assisting small banana planters and in exporting their produce to Japan, a marketing strategy that they still could not fully maximize due to limited production.
 
“There is a big market of local bananas for chips,” Loquellano reminds Boholanos during the recent Kapihan sa PIA, which was aired live over DyTR Thursday.
 
He said there is still an open market in Leslie Foods Corporation which demands around 15,000 kilograms of bananas every other day, “one that we have seen but could not really supply because of the few number of banana producers.”
 
Loquellano hints that a provincial government support in this area could formally boost production and spur more jobs in the sector.
 
Loquellano was with Emiia Roslinda and Maithe Palo of the network of organizations under the Bohol Alliance of Non-Government Organizations (BANGON) to discuss prospects of community development for Boholanos.
 
The Kapihan Forum was also the capping celebration of the Community Development Week, celebrated every first week of January all over the country.
 
BANGON has been coordinating community development and has adopted focused area approach system to maximize resources and create bigger project impacts on scale, Roslinda explained.

Now into playing with convergence to the hilt, Bangon and its member NGOS have partnered with Local Government Units in providing technical support and in complementation of resources as cash investments, manpower in developing sustainable solutions to community issues, he said.

More than being a global agri products supplier, Bangon also hopes that the new ecotourism products of Bohol would find acceptance by foreign and local tourists who are truly into eco-adventure which are managed by communities, said Maithe Palo of BANGON. (racPIABohol)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
