This 2010 Annual Report highlights the programs and activities of the Regional Office and is a testament to its accomplishments in the service of its constituents in MIMAROPA. I wish to take this opportunity to commend its management and staff for carrying out the Department’s thrusts in key areas such as Disaster Mitigation, Poverty Alleviation, Economic Development, Health, and wherever S&T promises to be of great value in the region. I hope that DOST-MIMAROPA will continue rise to the day-to-day challenge of delivering exceptional service and performance to the public. Let us be guided and be inspired by the key message that local technology works, so we must always find ways to apply tools and knowledge that we can call our own to address local problems and concerns. May we remain committed in discharging our mandated duties with an eye toward the development of a forward- looking, knowledge-investive economy. Let’s do it through innovation, hard work, and an unwavering devotion to our Republic. Mabuhay and DOST-MIMAROPA! HON. MARIO G. MONTEJO Secretary MESSAGE FROM THE UNDERSECRETARY The year 2010 was both challenging and inspiring for DOST Region IVB officers and staff. They pursued priority programs and projects while challenged with minimal resources at hand. Through collaboration with stakeholders, other national government agencies (NGAs), non-government organizations (NGOs), private sector, the academe, and industry, projects of the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) were successfully implemented, with more than 1,000 individuals provided employment opportunities. Adoption by beneficiary firms and communities of local technologies such as styre-densifier, bioreactor, bleaching and dyeing of natural fibers among others, made a difference in the people’s lives. Truly, with commitment, team work, and passion, anything is achievable. And DOST- MIMAROPA has shown this in concrete form. My sincere congratulations to DOST- MIMAROPA team for its accomplishments. Rest assured of our support to your projects and activities for the betterment of the lives of our fellowmen and the development of out ocmmunities in the island provinces of Region IVB DR. CAROL M. YOROBE Undersecretary for Regional Operations MESSAGE FROM THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR 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. Thank you and congratulations to us! DR. MA. JOSEFINA P.

  • Introduction MIMAROPA
    The Use of CBMS as a Tool for Implementing Development Strategies* “With CBMS, there is more to gain.” Introduction MIMAROPA Region was created through Executive Order No. 108 issued by Her Excellency PGMA on May 17, 2002 dividing the Southern Tagalog Region into CALABARZON Region and MIMAROPA Region. It is composed of the five island provinces of Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan. It has 2 cities, 71 municipalities and 1,458 barangays. As of 2000, it has a total population of 2.3 million, with 2.67 percent growth rate. Total land area of the region is 27,456.01 square kilometers representing about 9 percent of the country’s total land area. MIMAROPA Region is a major source of agricultural products and host diverse tourist destinations. It is a major producer of palay, coconut, banana, citrus, cassava, vegetables and marine products which can be utilized for various food/agri-processing industry. The region is also the home of natural wonders, which can be tapped for tourism development. With these, the Regional Development Council (RDC), the highest policy and coordinating body in the region, adopted the following vision: to become the food basket of Metro Manila and CALABARZON, a gateway to Southern Philippines and a major tourism destination. Status of CBMS Application in Region IV-B The provinces of Palawan and Marinduque were earlier included as pilot areas of CBMS implementation. Presently they are already in the fourth and second round of updating their CBMS, respectively. Romblon province is in the stage of processing its first CBMS data.
