The new set of officers thanked CDC for its support to their group especially their plans and projects including the development of a state-of-the-art showroom that will feature innovative and export-quality products.
“This mandate is not only humbling and overwhelming, but also challenging – a challenge that gives me much resolve in pursuing more than what has been set before me and steer the organization and our industry to greater heights,” Repato said.
Repato also enumerated the ongoing projects of Philexport 3 which includes the conduct of more competency enhancement programs that would better address and be more inclusive of the other sectors within our members; expanding a growing membership base to other sectors in order to widen the reach of our organization, and serve more sectors within the industry; the redevelopment of updated, more informative and relevant websites for both Philexport R3 and Deco Central that will allow members to remain informed and updated of the various events, programs and happenings in the organization and the industry as a whole among others.
Deco Central, a major project of Philexport R3, was born to provide members from the furniture and furnishings sector with a home store to cater to the domestic market.
