Dominador Clavejo said most of the equipment needed by the local food industries such as stainless tables, machine parts like grater, among others, will be readily available in the community as Marte Technova shop is capable to undertake the production of such food utensils. | |||
“Instead of purchasing the needed equipment of the local food industries from Cebu City, these will soon be locally available with lesser expenses will be involved,” Clavejo reported. | |||

SOUTHERN LEYTE, March 28 (PIA) -– The National Statistics Office (NSO) – Southern Leyte will be updating the list of establishments (LE) in the province on May 2 by conducting a comprehensive door-to-door canvassing of establishments. | |||
Provincial Statistical Officer Mae R. Almonte said the LE is a database of all establishments throughout the Philippines. | |||
The updating will be conducted by trained NSO statistical coordination officers and hired statistical researchers. | |||
Almonte reported that in updating the LE, it involves capture and listing of the characteristics of “new” establishments; updating of the status and characteristics of “old” establishments or those that have already been included in the database; de-listing of “closed” establishments; and identification of out-of-scope units. | |||
She added that an updated database of establishments will provide the NSO a reliable sampling frame for its business and industry censuses and surveys. “The data that will be collected also serves as a guide to government planning, policy making and monitoring, bases of marketing plans, opportunities and prospects and gives input to evaluation , market research, and comparative studies,”. | |||
"NSO looks forward to the full cooperation and support for the said undertaking not only from national and local government agencies but also from the private sector, particularly the business associations," Almonte expressed. | |||
She added that three levels of training will be conducted to ensure that NSO field staff will be equipped with the knowledge and field operations strategies. | |||
The said trainings include task force training held last March 6 to 9 at the NSO, Central Office, second-level training at the regional office for regional and provincial supervisors on April 11 to 13, and it will be cascaded to the provincial offices on April 24 to 27, this year.
