think, do act, exports daily.,,www. salmanila2100exports.blogspost.com, is the advertising and publishing arm for reario's crafts inc., who is the marketing arm of reario's enterprises for its agricultural, forest and aquamarine products, and which added tonits new line, arts,which is more varied and right now has the most valued exports from india recently higher than real state, call centers or any product as of the 2dn quarter of the year 2006.. the concept of researching and getting suppliers from the sm malls of metro-manila is a gallant idea for focusing on the metromanila or rather metro luzon grid as redefiend in the vision planup to the year 2010 by the president gloria macapacal arroyo in her sona address datedjulyn 24, 2005.thrpough my digital camera, i could probably get the latest products in the malls, within the 5th district area of manila.. and poost it in my computer. this could be updated weekly or regularly by, coordinating with my digital expert and post it in the site....of course with carefull examination. this could already entail a lot of works for the next six months and of course, orders for the company....the most recent classification of the philippines by the president gloria macapagal arroyo, as four regions, namely the norterhn luzon super region(composed of regions I,II and CAR, focusing on agriculture), the metro-luzon super region(coomposed of regions 3,4 NCR, focusing on industrial products, with its number 1 exports, as the electronics, which includes mindoroand marinduque islands), the central philippines(composed of regions 5,(bicol),region6,western visayas, and region7, central visayas and a part of mindanao the camiguin island)- focusing of the trilliondollar industry, the ttourism industry,which willnhelp my eco-lodge, tourism project in the balugo area, the future, religious town center of the bicol region.(which) i will coordinate with senator pimentel, and other political alliances,as well as strong relative, entrepreneurs and military connections.and the tri-media. group. and religious group....the third, the mindano superegion( composed mostly of the mindanao areas, focusing on agriculture, with coconuts has its major export prducts).and the fourth is the cyber region, refrerrrign to the palawan and bicol area, focusing on the internet, communication(call-centers) and telecommunications industries., which now has started in camarines sur, with the initiative of governor el rey villafuerte. as an exporter these vision especially on exprotsof manpower, products and services will be greatly enhancedwith more partner investors coming to thenphilippines.....thuspresident gloria macapagal arroyo will no longer be impeached or accused with reference to the article 15 of the constitution referring to the "solidarity of the filipino family" meaning, mom and dad will no longer go abroad, but with the familyfor guidance and wisdom., just imagine 8 million filipinos now are abroad working for money, how about the neglect of time they spend for their family?, money is not everything. our best resosurce is still our people, brilliant people...that is why in my college days, we have formed a group of 12, mastermind, wherein,we are to remain in the philippines to focus here....and passsed on to our next generations....

heloo everyone! exports must have top priority, among government leaders, religious leaders, educators, non government institutions and studentry.. in my vision of creating an export community for every barangay in the philippines, whether it is an export of service or export of manpower or export products. an example of export of service is the call center or electronic data processing in encoding services. callcenters, export of manpower where we have abundance, like the nurses and the products we manufacture. just as prseident gloria macapagal arroyo addressed in her 6th SONA, today i congratulate her for having a clear vision of development before her term ends in2010, by creating super regions, composed of northern luzon super region compose of regions 1,2 and the cordillera.the metro luzon super regio composed of regions 3, 4, metro-manila, including mindoro and marinduque., central philippines, composeof the bicol are( regions 5, 6, 7, romblon , camiguin), and the mindanao super region. both the orther luzon and mindanao super regions are focused on agricluture development, the metro luzon super region on industries, wehre 50% of GDP is obatined, and the central philippines will be developed into tourism area, now balugo could be develo0ped as a meditation and religious center, thereby creating it into a town, and generating livelihood via cooperativism. the number one export of the philippines is located in the metro luzon super region wherein electronics is the number one product.mindanao number 1 export is the coconut, and it is blessed with almos a typhoon free area. and the central philippines for its trilliondollar potential generating employment in the countryside. the ict gateway is already being developed in the palawan area, wherein at least two airports will be built..in general hte legacy of the arroyo adminitraion is more on increasing the infrustructure of the entire philippines . as per arlenes confirmation it is really true, that the arroyo administration has really fulfilled its it vision entitled against all odds and i, myself have also witnesssed the on-going infrustructure especially in our town, wherein almost 100% of our barrios have now electricity,and mosst of the barrios in the urban area ahve now good roads referring to our town oas, even on balugo, mountain roads, wherein it is my vision to make it into a town., wherein it will be our place of retirement and our familys legacy for the next generations to come as given by our forefathers..we have now sixth generation on the familynof the alejandro reario, elonila patasin union, which could start the township movement.. of balugo., as an exporter, started in the area(balugo), i will also write senator pimentel, to ask for the lcoal government code, on making, converting a bariio into a town, wherein a town now, has more allotment in the ira than cities...considering its land area, and the population of the people....of course with a mastermind from my fellow exporters, governor el rey, wherein their family has already been in politics in bicol in a sapn of about 3 generations with a complete and successful record. we could possibly pattern our poilical base, starting in balugo. as fellow exporters i think this coul be achievable... of course with gods blessings.,,,with nthe next six months i, could visualize myself in a very healthy poistion and well maintained health, plus more involvement in the internet tarde, toastmaster club, knights of colum bus, and arrangement of antons room and my office. i could also visualize that everyone in our family are all in good health....always under the protection of our god through the kingdom of our lord jesus christ....exprots . export export,, anybody who wants to learn export whether still a student , aprofessional, a businessman in a different field, can contact me, consult me so i can share my expertise...and we coudl learn from one another...

hello everyone! this is saldy. exports is my life. i had a conversation yesterday with my brother in-law bob, also with an indirect export industry support, that exports has been affected by chinas exports. i told him its true, but how long can they sustain it?.. we are involved in handicrafts basically, bicol handicrafts but in a recent visit by a buyer from italy, he explained a design they buy from china and its no good quality, the embroideries they made could easily be destroyed., even when i went to the mall, china products are really cheap, but it depends on the buyer what they are looking for. when i say exports, it refer to different products aside from handicrafts.coming from bicol, we have laing, coconuts, abaca, rice and corn, services, manpower(seamen, nurses, laborers, specially in the middle east other parts of asia, and the americas), as per conversation with my cousin, benjie, deploying nurses to the carribean is just like exports of handicrafts. in 1976, we only have aro0und 6,000 filipino overseas workers, while to this date 2006 around after 30 years we have now around 8 million filipino workers, most of them, speak english very well and very much skilled.,, so exporting is really much diversified, and only if i focus in our area, i could find a lot of items that could be exporter traded with other areas in the world. again we have this complexities of the international trade, but we can simplify, it with the use of technology now, wherein new systems are being offered to make life easier and enjoyable, in the pursuit of this international trade. this coming week i am going to have an export documentationfor our buyer going to guam, we hope this will continue to have monthly sales.
sti;;prospects and opportunities are always around, like the japanese market is bouncing back again, thus we have to focus on this market. but we have to devote more time in the webuducation as this is a trillion dollar industry nowadays, like forex industry, its also part of the export and import trade... i am devoting my time more on internate research and slaes for the next six months of the year2006,which i hope will let me increase the sales of reario's crafts and arts for at least 20%. the idea is, we only have to focus on the present buyer, then promote to them our present products, ideas like, putting additional experties on our site, like, arts,(thishas wider coverage than just crafts, it could even include martial arts, dances and related materials to it. recently i read in the fortune magazine, that the number sales now in india is its works of arts, wherein indian paintings are being bought by fellow indians from other parts of the world, in millions of values.. much even higher than computer and real state growth transactions. so reario's arts and crafts could increase sales. another point for improvement maintaining the status quo, and focusing just on the present buyers, we could explore other sources of products, other than our present, supply sources, of course, have to study on the cost of expenses, for example the sosurce is in leyte, how much could be spent, lets, sat 10,000.00is spent, could we get an order of about 2million pesos to cover the expenses? otherwise we only have to focus on our area, to minimize expenses, but the products are also greatly reduced..in terms of coverage.

till next time. on the life an exporter, the daily life of an exporter....

helo everyone!, yesterday, a forwarder, dimerco, called me,following up some business proposal for their promo rate in germany, the name of their account executive is victoria nazal, a very entrepreneurial lady, with a good view in business world, but still new in the forwarding world. i usually give equal interest for organizations directly or inderectly involved in this kind of business exporting equal opporunities to grow, by sharing with them my know how in the export world for about 38 years( i was ingrade 2) when i was introduced in the world of business, knowing first the supply side and market of a certain product(in my case, my fathers partime business/hobby, was then buy and sell of copra, palay, abacaand other forest products, plus aquamarine products too, as our town is blessed with amplecentral ricelands, forest mountains(where the towns water supply come from) and coastal barangays., and in 1979 was introduced in the export/international world, c/o happag lloyd shipping line by exporting to the benelux countries, initially hammocks.and it is how i got to know the operation of different forwarding companies in the philippines, where some come and go and some get bigger and buy-out or merge with other companies and some close operations,all basically to management syle differences. as i personally believed that all businesses are alright, the only thing that makes the difference is the "management" all businesses are best. it depends on how one manages it.

going back to dimerco forwarding, they are following up if there are shipments we have now. yes we have, in fact next week, we have a container going to guam and by august 10, we have sample deployment to italy.the thing is, all these shipments are all nominated by this buyer, however, which is 90% of all philipppine shipment, and if you are a forwarder not nominated, your chance is 10% but we can work together ednless possibilities if the forwarder can give us information on the present actualmovement of their goods of handicrafts, so we weill knowntheir specialty and can refer to them whenever a buyer go bo us from that place, or send us their existing clients of handicraft buyers in the philippines , so we can promote our products to them and when they order , that forwarder get the business.

i have a special situation, wherein an account executive, i was dealing with for 5 years in kuhne and nagel, finally got a break to have his own forwarding company, being nominted by a taiwanese company. he called for an appointmentto me one time, and he got lucky, because, one of our shipment has no nomination yet, and he got the business in america for that client. the name of the guy was dinio, but i have know him for 5 years before he got that break. after 3 years we met again in a trade show and now he is making good.

so, what i can really say is in this business, the system of give and take applies, or the golden rule. the world is always changing in this information age, tanks god we have this technology, to give / update information with our colleagues in the industry, to have an efficient operation. thus, you set your limits or limitations with this business.

have a nice day and god bless us all!!!

exporting is my life. wednesday july 19, we had a repeat buyer from italy, by the name of TONUTTI ALMA, for the first time, that my sister and I discovered that the name of the company, was the complete name of the mother of christian and fabio vicario, alma tonuttim the family name being palced first. it was the first time also, that i met the father of fabio vicario, Mr. vicario. the company has existed for the past 60(sixty) years, which was originally owned by the grandmother or other of mr. vicario, and passed on to mr. vicario since around 1940's. they are a manufacturer of bags. they are focused on bags. if i remember it right, i saw in the internet, a bag from tonutti alma selling maybe about for US3,000.oo. theysell througout europe. they manufacture, import, and at the same time distribute. i really admire this italian system of doing business, that even,the children, of the family owned businessess are still guided by the the parents, even if they have family of their own already. one of the fringe benefit of this business is you get to travel with your family members and even have bonding with one another., that is why it is it is good to have a family business most specifically, exporting. our family business, was started by my parents, in 1969, 38 years ago. (this is part I of the series of this wrtie up regarding, exporting, specifically to italy, which really inspired me to have a business. wherein, they based their acumen and skills, the roman system wasy.. and one of the is the roman catholic system, wherein, it has a recorded history of about 2006 years already, since the birth of our lord jesus christ. how about, the time before jesus christ, better known as b.c. (or before christ?), belief in god has been in existence for so many years even before christ was born...the business systems of the italians ahs been patterned after this most specifically after the roman catholic system, and to quote from another italian exproter based in the philippines, that, it is quite ordinary in rome, where businesses exist for thousands of years, if you a hotellike "nicola", it it most possible that the owner of that hotel, is the family of nicola,thousands of years before passed on to the next son, next sons generation ect.., etc...and it could also be observe in their family and educational system, where they value it most. children are schooled even at conception and even if still on the mothers womb, the bonding starts already...and also their orientation that, that they graduate with a doctorate degree..., like the dal pozzos, also our buyer from the orther part of italy.,,the region of ferrara, and town of artegianato., italy, the business has its own cycle too.this time the vicarios have better business situation. we have not yet heard from the dal pozzos this time. everytime we had a meeting at hyatt regency at this time of the year about 2nd quarter,we always have a good time, with specifially fabio vicario. he is very articulate, like my daughter nikki, and anton also just like christian, a very robust, with a heavy built body.,mr. vicario, their father is also a robust man, as well as alma tonutti, their mother, with a well built physique, just like lola liling., i also observe their well to do conversation, meaning when thay talk, they talk as if all of them are in harmony, listening very well to each others opinion, respecting its others views. but its the son, fabio vicario, who takes the initiative of the majority decision, of course with all humility, of the other and father when vicario speaks, as well as when, the other speaks, the father and fabio also listen very attentively, but interact harmoniously, and the decision with the approval of the other too. i still have to learn italian and according to the father of fabio mr. vicario, it is very similar to spanish. also another pattern of the italian/spanish system is the, presence of the religious group in the philippines, a very concrete example of the strong roman catholic system in our country, please take note. roman. it is from the roman state of italy, the strongest kingdom in italy during the dark times of the papacy., thus in my opinion, the best system of handling business is the family oriented italian way, with a close family tie like the chinese, and anchored in the belief in god, like the jews of israel., but this time, with a belief in the saving power our lord jesus christ, who is the sole preserver of the kingdom of god. agai this was strengthened by the roman(italian) cahtolic system.

i love the place, Manila, that is why, i am focusing to export the ready products to other parts of the world, that can be sourced in metro-manila area. i could see when my wife and kids stroll to bonding times in metro manila malls, we could see beautiful products that have local and domestic base that we could export to other countries. name it probably we have it. i have chosen the blog name salmanila2100exports, becuse it has a relevance in the 21st century information age exports, the number one business in the world,2100, stands for the 21sat century information age, manila, the premier trading hub of the philippines since times immemorialand sal, meaning peace, what the world really needs now.. from the rural perspective of giving employment opportunities to the countrys poorest of the poor, we now go to the metropolies to further boost its economy, probably to give employment to the unemployed i n the cities. our buyers(reario's crafts inc.) buyers from europe or japan who cannot come to our headquarters in the province, are just entertained to the hotel where they check in and we just bring the items to their place for selection. tomorrow we have an high end buyer from italy!!!!!
