The Philippine Exporters Confederation Inc. (Philexport) is encouraging exporters to improve themselves by innovating and collaborating to strengthen their capabilities toward reaching their $122 billion-to-$130 billion target until 2022. “We now lean on more innovation and collaboration to work our way [toward]sustainable and inclusive progress. Note that in both cases, it is human beings [who]are still at the heart of the process,” Ortiz-Luis said. Roberto Amores, Philexport trustee for the food sector, said collaboration is vital to address the country’s trade deficit. We have to benchmark our performance with” those of our Southeast Asian neighborts, he added.
