-CALAPAN CITY, Philippines – Local authorities released some 35 sea turtles in a fish sanctuary in Mansalay town in Oriental Mindoro.
+CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Feb. 21 (PIA) -- To increase awareness on the benefits under free trade agreements, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) provincial office will conduct seminar on ‘Doing Business in Free Trade Areas (DBFTA)’ on February 23 at the Filipiniana Hotel in Calapan City.
-Governor Alfonso Umali Jr., together with town officials, simultaneously released the turtles in the waters off Sitio Palaypay in Del Mundo village.
+According to Oscar M. Agbay, DTI provincial director, the seminar will focus on free trade agreements specifically trade in goods, trade in services, investments, tariff classification of the product, customs procedures and movement of natural persons that can provide opportunities for Filipino professionals, including nurses and skilled workers.
-Local fishermen recovered the turtles after they roamed confusedly along the coastlines of Mansalay municipality.
+"These free trade agreements bring a number of benefits, primarily tariff elimination or reduction which will make Philippine exports products more competitive," Agbay said.
-Umali said the provincial government is bent on protecting the endangered animals as part of his administration’s environmental protection.
+He also added the other benefits which include lower costs of inputs to production, wider range of choice of goods for consumers at lower prices and job generation. (LBR/LTC-PIA4B/Calapan)
-Through coordination and support extended by all local government units, almost all towns in Oriental Mindoro have their own turtle habitats.
