Message from the Secretary

Technology Upgrading Program that mainly involve the micro enterprise sector illustrate the commitment of DOST-MIMAROPA to enhance the economic opportunities in the region. This technology-based business improvement drive complements the Aquino administration’s vision to expand economic activities and wealth distribution in the country.

Meanwhile, I have noted DOST-MIMAROPA’s slogan, “Discover, Invest, and Uncover the Potentials“, as actually a challenge integral to its mandate to alleviate poverty, improve productivity, and promote competitiveness in the island-provinces it covers. It is also a declaration of its pioneering work as a two-year old Regional Office, in introducing technology products, and services in MIMAROPA.

I am hopeful that DOST-MIMAROPA’s management and staff will continue to bring hope, innovation, and life-enhancing services to its regional communities.

Congratulations!

HON. MARIO G. MONTEJOSecretary

The Department of Science and Technology-MIMAROPA Regional Office has made substantial progress in putting together the building blocks of a people-oriented service institution. This mirrors a clear and conscious effort among its management and staff on the nature and mission of an accountable and responsive public service organization.

The achievements it has made so far - most number of proposals approved and third in value under the flagship Small Enterprise

Secretary Estrella F. Alabastro’s statement that indeed the Filipino technopreneurship has arrived is true for DOST-MIMAROPA. Its effectiveness in transferring DOST technologies is anchored not only in its committed and competent human resource but in its linkages with various public and private organizations. This is one strength that DOST-MMAROPA has nurtured through the years.

To the men and women of DOST-MIMAROPA, my congratulations. Start harvesting the fruits of your hard work and persistence but never rest in planting the seeds of science, technology and innovation for DOST-IVB is called to respond to more challenges in the countryside.

DR. CAROL M. YOROBEUndersecretary for Regional Operations

Message from the Undersecretary

The Year 2009 marked the enthusiasms and eagerness with which DOST agencies, including DOST-MIMAROPA, responded to the challenges on science and technology (S&T). And this is clearly manifested in DOST-MIMAROPA’s accomplishments and achievements for the year particularly in improving the productivity and product quality of MSMEs in the island provinces of Mindoro Oriental and Occidental, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan.

a 57% increase in the number of technology interventions compared to last year.

With great demands from our clients and with a sense of urgency to provide quick response to their Packaging and Labeling (P&L) needs, we made significant innovations in this program as we built our in-house capacity for P&L designs, thereby institutionalizing our own P&L service. Instead of more than a year of waiting, our clients retrieve and implement their label designs in less than half the waiting time before.

Needless to say, we did not consider our limited human resources as a weakness. Rather, the selfless dedication and great passion for excellence and hard work of the management and staff who worked as a team complimented our limited number.

And after undergoing series of training and establishing our Quality Management System based on ISO 9001:2008, we can only say that we aim for better services. In the next years, we see our office continuing these great achievements of higher quality and quantity. And as the youngest DOST Regional Office, I modestly announce that our hard work has started paying.

Let me express my deep gratitude, first and foremost to God Almighty for without Him, none of these is possible. To the DOST Top Management especially to the Undersecretary for Regional Operations, Dr. Carol M. Yorobe for her unwavering support, the DOST-MIMAROPA personnel, our local counterparts, and the DOST Agencies for their help had been invaluable. Let us move into another year achieving excellence in the services that we offer, and being advocates of responsive service, we create new trails as route for our region’s development.

Thank you and congratulations to us!

DR. MA. JOSEFINA P. ABILAYRegional Director

The Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) is a flagship program of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to encourage and assist micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to adopt technological innovations to improve their operations and thus boosts their production and competitiveness. SETUP enables firms to address their technical problems through technology acquisition and upgrading, new product development, product quality enhancement, packaging and label designs, facility improvement including waste management, and skills enhancement through training. The Regional Office assisted 17 firms by providing 49 technology interventions such as technology needs assessment (TNA), consultancy, training on current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), product analysis, and/ or improvement on their packaging and label designs.

The bulk of the firms that were assisted were engaged in food processing such as fish and by-products processing, baking, meat processing, confectioneries, noodle production, coconut by-products, peanut butter and ginger tea.

A small number of firms engaged in metals and engineering, biodiesel production, rice hull ash cement production, marble processing, and handicraft also availed of SETUP assistance. The firms engaged in metals and engineering were given skills enhancement training on shielded metal arc wielding (SMAW) and oxyacetylene welding (OAW).

With an average improvement in productivity of 23%, 806 individuals were given employment during the year in 38 firms compared to 388 individuals in 16 firms in 2008.

MANUFACTURING PRODUCTIVITY EXTENSION PROGRAM (MPEX)

Performance Indicators2009

Targets AccomplishmentsNo. of Firms Assisted 15 19

The Manufacturing Productivity Extension (MPEX) Program assists small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector to attain higher productivity through improvements in the overall operation of the firm. With funding assistance from the TAPI - Department of Science and Technology (TAPI-DOST), DOST-MIMAROPA outsources industrial engineers and experts to undertake on-site productivity consultancy services for qualified firms throughout the region.

On May 2009, MPEX was implemented for the first time in the MIMAROPA region with approved TAPI-DOST funds of PhP948,636.00. Nineteen firms from Palawan, of which, 13 are from Puerto Princesa City, two each from Brooke’s Point and Roxas, and one each from Narra and Taytay, availed of the MPEX consultancy services for 2009. Of the 19 firms, there were 13 food processing firms and 6 gifts, house wares and decors (GHD) enterprises. These firms passed the prequalification requirements in terms of total number of workers, value of business, annual volume of production, size of the factory, and more importantly, on the need for MPEX intervention.

Consultancy services include firm lay-out, operational and materials management schemes, 5S training, quality control assurance system, food safety, and packaging options. Initial impact assessment indicated that labor costs was reduced by 3% to 20% upon implementation of MPEX recommendations; an average increase of 12% in production capacity; a projected PhP20,000 - PhP200,000 of overall annual savings; with payback periods ranging from 1 to 3.5 years to implement all short- and long-term recommendations of the program.

CONSULTANCY FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY ENHANCEMENT (CAPE) PROGRAM

To improve agricultural productivity of farms in the region, the DOST-MIMAROPA, with funding support from TAPI-DOST, continues to implement the Consultancy for Agricultural Productivity Enhancement (CAPE) Program. Through CAPE, experts are deployed for a period equivalent to one complete farming cycle to help farmers in the implementation of the recommended S&T interventions.

The program thrives well in MIMAROPA region since its populace primarily depends on agriculture. In 2009, 46 farms composed of 17 aquaculture farms, 19 mango farms, and 10 banana farms in Mindoro Oriental, Mindoro Occidental, and Romblon, respectively, benefitted from the two CAPE proposals approved in 2008 amounting to a total of PhP1,593,180.

Through MPEX, the tedious process of assembling drums manually at the Origin Crafts and Concepts in Puerto Princesa City has been made easier with the use of fabricated tools.

Romblon 5 Mango Farms 21.5 Mango

Ten tilapia farmers -- of which eight were engaged in grow-out production and two in hatchery-nursery production from the municipalities of San Jose, Rizal, and Magsaysay in Mindoro Occidental -- improved their production through various interventions provided under CAPE. By clustering these 10 farms into one group, the perennial problem of inadequate and irregular supply of high quality tilapia fingerlings was addressed through the two hatcheries-nurseries in the cluster. Factors

After participating in the CAPE program and despite having exceptionally frequent rains during the current fruiting season, the Gonzalvo mango farm increased 300% of its total gross income from 2008 to 2009.

18

that contributed to low productivity in grow-out ponds such as improper pond preparation, poor pond water management, inappropriate fertilizer application, and poor quality feeds and feeding management were studied and discussed with farm operators. Suggestions were given resulting to increase in the net income of three grow-out operators. On the other hand, five grow-out tilapia farmers declared break-even or suffered losses. These five operators could have also experienced increase in income if not because of the typhoons Jolina, Kiko, and Ondoy during the project period. However, farmers are expected to increase in farm outputs in the forthcoming harvests with the application of improved farming practices learned through CAPE.

Despite the program’s desire to warrant immediate success, fish farming in brackish water ponds in Mindoro Oriental was faced with problems such as poaching, non-compliance on the discussed and agreed technological interventions, and incomplete recording of inputs, outputs, and activities. CAPE consultant reported the need for fish farmers/pond owners to strengthen their knowledge on proper accounting and to actively participate in pond management and operation, instead of leaving these tasks mostly to pond caretakers, to ensure compliance with agreed technical interventions.

The biggest drawback in mango production in the provinces of Mindoro Occidental and Romblon is the presence of unfavourable weather conditions particularly strong winds and rain showers coinciding with the crucial production stages of flowering and fruiting. To negate the ill-effects of weather disturbances and pest incidences, early flower induction and forced flushing were emphasized along with other appropriate crop protection and production management technologies such as proper sanitation, pruning, thinning, and fruit bagging. Farm visits were done regularly to motivate the farmers to take the necessary activities more seriously and ensure proper dosage applications of flower inducers, fertilizers and pesticides. To maximize farm productivity, agricultural practices such as diversified or integrated farming and organic farming were introduced. Aside from augmenting farm income, these agricultural practices reduced pest and disease incidences.

CAPE participants and other interested mango growers from the municipalities of San Jose, Magsaysay, and Rizal in Mindoro Occidental were trained on fruit processing and marketing by the consultants.

Comparing the production during pre- and post-CAPE periods, average yield increased from 420 kg/ha to 1,163 kg/ha in Mindoro Occidental based on yield data from 9 out of 14 mango farmers that were assisted while the rest suffered losses due to typhoons. Romblon mango growers were successful in early flower induction. Most of the underproductive trees when treated were able to flower and bear more fruits. In general, farm productivity improved except for those farms that were greatly affected by the typhoons during the project period.

Recognizing the utmost importance of appropriate product packaging and labeling to improve product presentation and quality, consumer recognition and recall of product, and market share, the DOST-MIMAROPA intensified its packaging and labeling assistance to MSMEs. For 2009, there were 35 firm beneficiaries. This is twice higher than the year’s target. Improved packaging allowed some firms to penetrate other markets and increase their sales. Increase in sales amounted to PhP174,000 during the year.

Of the 35 firms, seven received packaging and labeling assistance through SETUP amounting to PhP1,440,500. Also, the local GIA project entitled “Development of Innovative Packaging and Labeling for Selected Food Products in MIMAROPA” provided PhP281,500 to 14 firms to enable these MSMEs to purchase the recommended packaging materials and implement the recommended package and label designs in order to penetrate new market and/or increase market share.

Aside from financial grant, DOST-MIMAROPA also provided 38 package and label designs to 22 firms for products such as dried fish, chocolate and cassava cakes, processed and/or frozen meat products, kalamayhati products and other sweets, pastillas de leche, virgin coconut oil, sampalok-based products, pancit canton/miki, bukayo, soap, ginger tea, ube cookies, iodized salt, fruit candies, banana chips, rice cakes and peanut butter.

DOST-MIMAROPA was able to assist a large number of package and label designs because it enhanced its internal capability and lessened its dependence on external services in graphic design, product package, and label requirements to meet increasing clients’ demand. Concerned staff attended relevant trainings to improve skills in graphic design and product package and labeling.

Packaging and labeling assistance has increasing demand from micro and small enterprises and will remain as one of the top priorities of DOST-MIMAROPA.

The Science and Technology Volunteer Pool Program (STEVPP) is a DOST program that allows experts/resource persons to provide technical expertise/advisory and troubleshooting services, training and seminars that promote technology transfer and commercialization, productivity enhancement and skills upgrading in the countryside. Priority sectors covered by the program are food processing, metals and engineering, furniture, GHD, information technology, agriculture, biotechnology, and textiles, among others.

In 2009, STEVPP has made possible twenty-one Technology Needs Assessments (TNAs), training courses and/or consultations on food processing and cGMP, biogas technology, metal works, climate change and textile-dyeing among others. These were participated by a total of 423 clients, mostly from the food, handicraft, metals, and engineering sectors.

Members of the Arya Coconut Farmer’s Multi Purpose Cooperative (MPC), Romblon’s largest coconut processor, listen while an expert discusses and demonstrates the operation and maintenance of an MIRDC-designed twining equipment.

Thirty-three experts from different DOST Research and Development Institutes (RDIs), State University and Colleges (SUCs), and private sectors were tapped to serve as resource persons and/or consultants. On the second quarter, after the trainors’ training for cGMP, the Provincial S&T Directors (PSTDs) started conducting TNAs and food safety training for assisted MSMEs. This local sufficiency led to the deployment of fewer experts to the provinces, hence, the decrease in STEVPP assistance for 2009.

DOST-ACADEME TECHNOLOGY-BASED ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT (DATBED)

DOST-MIMAROPA promotes the development of entrepreneurial competencies among students and out-of-school youths by providing funding assistance through TAPI-DOST to implement entrepreneurial projects under the DOST-Academe Technology-Based Enterprise Development (DATBED) Program.

As of 2009, four SUCs were already accredited under the DATBED Program, namely Occidental Mindoro State College (OMSC), Mindoro State College of Agriculture and Technology (MinSCAT), Romblon State University (RSU), and Marinduque State College (MSC). There were 44 OMSC students and 10 RSU students that received funding assistance through DATBED amounting to PhP592,950.00 to implement their chosen entrepreneurial activities. There were eight MSC students whose proposed entrepreneurial activities have been approved with funding assistance amounting to PhP219,270. While these students are gaining entrepreneurial skills through DATBED, most of them have already started earning from their projects.

FOOD SAFETY

The DOST-MIMAROPA organized the Food Safety Team (FST) to ensure a quick-response core group for the region’s food manufacturing sector. The FST is composed of the five Provincial S&T Directors, a representative each from BFAR and DOH, two professors from Western Philippines University (WPU), and one food technologist from the DOST-MIMAROPA. The FST is tasked to provide food-based MSMEs with the technical knowhow on current food safety practices, regulations and requirements. To enhance their capability, the FST

The DOST-MIMAROPA also promotes its S&T services and recent technologies through conduct of technology clinics/ investors forums. There were 28 technology clinics/forums that were conducted with 1,306 individuals and 195 firms. The participants were DOST’s target serviceable sectors and groups. They were interested in DOST funding mechanisms, SETUP assistance, HRD opportunities, technology and livelihood opportunities for women, scholarships, MPEX pre-qualifications, CAPE, packaging and labeling services, food processing technologies, and technologies on fiber-based industries, among others.

Cooperators’ participation in DOST-sponsored fairs such as the National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) and provincial fairs allowed marketing opportunities for the firms’ competitive advantage. In 2009, DOST-MIMAROPA sponsored two provincial fairs and participated in 10 fairs in the provinces. Rejano’s Bakery of Marinduque which has been a SETUP beneficiary twice and an active participant in S&T fairs received the Gawad Saka Outstanding Food Processors award (regional level) for the improvement of its arrowroot cookies and increase in gross sales, amounting to PhP5 million in 2009. In the South Luzon Cluster Fair, the provinces’ tourist destinations and the delectable food products assisted by DOST-MIMAROPA were showcased.

DOST-MIMAROPA facilitated the Techno-Forum on biogas technology during the Southern Luzon Cluster Science and Technology Fair in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna.

S&T SCHOLARSHIPS

Recognizing the importance of enhancing the region’s human resources in science and technology, DOST-MIMAROPA actively promotes and participates in the administration of the DOST-SEI Science and Technology Scholarship Program.

RA 7687

Republic Act No. 7687, also known as the Science and Technology Act of 1994 provides scholarships to deserving students especially (but not limited) to those whose families’ socio- economic status do not exceed the set cut-off values of certain indicators, except for Merit A scholars. Qualifiers pursue priority fields of study in the basic and applied sciences, engineering, science and mathematics teaching, technology and technical courses. Of the 709 fourth year high school students from the MIMAROPA provinces who qualified to take the exam, 109 students or 15.37% passed and were qualified to receive the scholarship. There were more male qualifiers (54%) than females (46%) although there were more female examinees (66%) than males (34%). Of the 109 qualified students, 20 are enrolled in SUCs in MIMAROPA. The rest of the qualified students are enrolled in other accredited colleges and universities in the country.

Under RA 7687, DOST scholars are categorized into various groups. The Bachelor of Science (BS) regular and the Merit B are the regular scholarship categories under RA 7687. There are other categories such as ladderized program, BS with bridging program, or Bridging Education for Science and Technology for indigenous people (BEST for IP). Merit A is formerly known as the NSDB or NSTA scholarship that begun in 1958. Scholars under Merit A pursue priority courses in the basic sciences, engineering, other applied sciences and science and mathematics teachings at identified universities. Under the ladderized program, qualifiers are allowed to take a 3-year technician course first. In the event that the scholars meet all the requirements to continue in a BS course, then they may avail a BS course in the school where they are enrolled. Scholars under the BS with bridging undergo tutorials. BEST for IP scholarship program is specific for indigenous people who want to enrol in a technician course.

Junior Level Science Scholarship (JLSS) Program

DOST-MIMAROPA also administers the JLSS Program of DOST. JLSS is a scholarship grant to qualified third year college students who are enrolled in priority fields of study in engineering, basic and applied sciences, science, and mathematics teaching. Unfortunately, while there were 33 examinees, none qualified in 2009.

There were 143 Grade VI students from MIMAROPA provinces who took the entrance exams for the Philippine Science High School (PSHS), of which 11 passed and were qualified to enrol at PSHS. Unfortunately, none of those who qualified actually enrolled in any PSHS campus.

Administration, Coordination and Monitoring On-Going Scholars

For SY 2009-2010, DOST-MIMAROPA administered, coordinated and monitored 48 scholars enrolled in various SUCs in MIMAROPA region.

DOST-MIMAROPA used tri-media (TV, radio and print) coverage to promote various DOST services and technologies that are relevant for MIMAROPA, announce scholarship and activities like training courses, seminars, forums, and call for SETUP proposals. To maximize dissemination of information with no additional cost to DOST, Romblon PSTC hosted a 30-minute radio program every Thursday in Odiongan and Looc Radyo Natin discussing various science and technology related topics relevant to the province. More, Engr. Bilshan F. Servañez, Romblon DOST Provincial S&T Director is a regular contributor to Romblon Sun, a local newspaper that features updates and discussions on DOST programs and services.

in Marinduque continue to be regular S&T promoters while other PSTCs rely on the local Philippine Information Agency (PIA) and local cable TV channels.

On November 12, 2009 during the South Luzon Cluster S&T Fair held in SM City Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Dr. Ma. Josefina P. Abilay, DOST-MIMAROPA Regional Director discussed the region’s SETUP assisted projects in the morning show “One Morning Café” of NBN 4 hosted by Ms. Cutie del Mar.

Intensified efforts on S&T promotion resulted to increase in the number of clients who availed of the DOST-MIMAROPA services particularly on scholarships and SETUP innovation support mechanism. The Region will continue to use tri-media and enhance the use of information communication technologies to reach greater number of clients.

Visit from the DOST Secretary

Sec. Estrella F. Alabastro visited Marinduque, dubbed as “S&T Projects: A Showcase”, on May 20-22, 2009. In connection with this, a press conference was conducted on the afternoon of May 20 where Regional Director Ma. Josefina P. Abilay presented the DOST-SETUP and the on-going / existing assisted projects in Marinduque and the whole region.

Discussions were made concerning the packaging and labeling strategies of the region, consultancies on arrowroot processing technology, proactive techniques of the PSTCs towards stakeholders, adopting other technologies from other regions seen suitable for the province, project assistance to market expansion through identification and development of linkages, and development of more projects for coastal communities.
