Packaging and research designs proposed for Baguio
A BUSINESS group has proposed to make a packaging industry as a potential tourism showcase in Baguio City.
In a letter to Mayor Braulio Yaranon, Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) governor for Cordillera Delfin Balajadia said the City Government should immediately identify a prospective location to accommodate the proposed facility.
City Planning and Development Officer (CPDO) Art Orig, however, suggested that as a pioneer concept, a research work be immediately conducted to determine the need for such a facility.
A preliminary project proposal, he said, should be conducted by the Project Development Division of the Planning Office (PDDPO) as support to the proposal.
Orig said his office concurs with the idea since the "city needs to aggressively promote its products to gain a competitive edge locally and globally." Housing the proposed facility within the Baguio Convention Center, however, should be studied and validated pending research, he said.
He said an administrative order from Yaranon with a very specific objective for a constitution of a study group is also recommended. First hand information, he added, could then be gathered and observed from similar existing facilities in Bulacan, Taguig and Cavite by the group.
Considering the optimistic outlook for the project, coordination of the involved entities with the City Government should be done soon to firm up bases for the proposal, Orig said.
