Calamba City,
Laguna โ The Laguna
Provincial Office of the
Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI-Laguna), in
collaboration with the Cooperatives and Livelihood
Development Department (CLDD) of the City
Government of Calamba
City, recently organized
an SME Roving Academy
on the basic principles of
good manufacturing practices and consumer education which was held at
the CLDD Training Room,
located at Mercado de Calamba, Calamba City, Laguna, last June 09, 2023.
A total of fifty-seven (57) participants from various barangays in Calamba City attended the said seminar.
The topic on the basic principles of good manufacturing practices was delivered by Ms. Lovely Anne A. Rome,
a business counsellor at DTI-Laguna. During the seminar, she discussed the proper manufacturing procedures including but not limited to
creating, implementing,
documenting and validating standard operating
procedures, as well as designing and using working
systems and maintaining
such systems, facilities
and equipment.
Aside from the
proper procedure, the
seminar also focused on
the manufacturing practices that will minimize or
permanently avoid any
mistakes and/or risks to
consumers and will upgrade the capability of
industries/entrepreneurs,
consumers and government personnel in ensuring the application of
learnings from the discussion into their respective potential and existing
business operations.
During the SME
Roving Academy, another
topic was tackled by Mr.
Carl Eric L. Villanueva,
also a business counsellor
at DTI-Laguna. He shared
basic knowledge on consumer education and provided awareness on the
consumer rights and responsibilities. This is also
to educate and provide
developmental opportunities to both potential and
existing micro, small, and
medium enterprises in the
province. (CELVillanueva,DTI-Laguna)
