It recognized the need to go outside the box and bring a new perspective to its programs and activities. Likewise, it took a more proactive approach in facing task and time-driven challenges. Recent global economic realities have brought about a slowdown in global exports. Trade fairs, both locally and abroad, are challenged by the decreasing number of exhibitors and buyers with less budget and less time to travel to Asia. Financial Times reported that even the Canton Fair, which is the biggest trade fair on earth, reported a decrease in the number of foreign buyers and orders since 2011. Recognizing these challenges, CITEM’s 2012 strategic directions pushed for breaking boundaries and finding creative solutions to hurdle obstacles. This strategy allowed CITEM to meet its targets and even accomplish way more than expected in its key performance indicators. CITEM assisted 744 export companies, equivalent to 100 percent of its target. It generated 14,863 trade fair inquiries with the potential for realized business, representing 169 percent of its target. CITEM’s projects generated US $184.59 million in initial export orders (106%); and Php 165.53 million in local sales, 828% beyond targets. As declared by our client exporters, 98,811 jobs continue to be supported by CITEM’s programs. 2 Manila FAME, one of CITEM’s signature events, was repositioned as “The Design and Lifestyle Event,” and continued its co-location (which started in 2011) with the country’s major sourcing events: ManilaNow, CebuNext and Bijoux Cebu. Continuous brand-building activities here and abroad were implemented to demonstrate CITEM’s commitment to elevate the status of the “Philippines” brand. In 2012, CITEM organized 14 trade events: two signature events in Manila and participation in selected overseas trade fairs and exhibitions. HallOne, the permanent showroom showcasing the best of Philippine products, was launched to expand CITEM’s services to its stakeholders. CITEM’s performance in 2012 is more than encouraging; it is inspiring. The coming year 2013 will certainly pose another creative challenge to address increased clientele expectations and a growing demand for our services. I would like to extend my warm and grateful thanks to Trade and Industry Secretary Gregory L. Domingo for his vision and leadership; to our Supervising Undersecretary Cristino L. Panlilio for his unwavering support; and to the CITEM officers and staff for their dedication and commitment to the creative process which we all believe in. Our gratitude as well goes to our many industry stakeholders for their continued support. I am confident that we will become a stronger and more effective organization in the coming years, better able to operate flexibly in a fastpaced and ever-changing environment. ROSVI C. GAETOS Executive Director 3 CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE EXPOSITIONS AND MISSIONS SIGNATURE EVENTS CITEM opens doors and expands business opportunities in the global market. CITEM is the proud owner and organizer of signature events that provide global trade platforms for Philippine exports; primarily in the design-driven (home and fashion lifestyle) and food industries. Manila FAME SHOW DETAILS: 2x/year March and October Metro Manila, Philippines The International Food Exhibition (IFEX) SHOW DETAILS: Biennial: every May Metro Manila, Philippines The International Food Exhibition (IFEX) Philippines: Asia’s Ethnic Food and Ingredients Show is a biennial event organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) through CITEM, in partnership with the Philippine Department of Agriculture-Agribusiness Marketing Assistance Service (DA-AMAS). It is a global showcase of Asia’s tropical food and a platform for the country’s fresh, processed, Halal-certified, and organic food sectors in the Philippines. 4 Manila FAME, The Design and Lifestyle Event is the country’s premier trade platform for exports and design, providing opportunities for small and medium scale entrepreneurs to showcase their products in the world market. Manila FAME is one of the longest running trade shows in the Asia-Pacific, featuring the latest Philippine-made creations from artisans and manufacturers and is the only trade event in the country approved by UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry. INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS In support of its mandate, CITEM launched institutional programs that facilitate the country’s export promotions programs. Design Week Philippines is a celebration of DESIGN through programs and events that foster creativity among Filipinos to strengthen the country’s positioning as Asia’s Design Destination. Proclamation No. 277 signed by President Benigno Aquino III on October 20, 2011 declares the third week of March and October of each year as Design Week Philippines. www.citem.gov.ph/designweekphilippines HallONE: Design for Exports is a design showcase of the best Philippine export products, a year-round sourcing venue for local and foreign buyers, and a venue for industry meeting and events. It offers year-round services; from business matching and appointment scheduling, factory visits, export order-taking and shipping assistance, retail sales, design clinics, to seminars and workshops. 5 CITEM in 2O12 CITEMs ultimate vision is to create a distinct “Philippines” brand that is widely accepted and recognized in the global market – one that signifies quality, value and reliability. CITEM’s programs are geared towards the creation of a “Philippines First” mindset among global buyers. By setting the highest standards for creativity, excellence and innovation, CITEM continually works towards positioning the country as “Asia’s design trendsetter” in export products and services. 6 CONTENTS The year 2012 posed many challenges amid realities on the ground which called for CITEM to: RETHINK, REGROUP AND REFOCUS. CONTENTS CITEM adopted a four-pronged approach to meet challenges head on: consolidation, differentiation, precise marketing, and transformation. Show Consolidation and Rebranding of Manila FAME From commerciality to design – this shift allowed CITEM to position one of its signature events, Manila FAME: The Design and Lifestyle Event, as Asia’s design trendsetter. Recognized as a Country Brand and a source of national pride, Manila FAME serves as the platform to showcase the design superiority of the country in the home and fashion sector. Taking Manila FAME to the next level became a reality when the country’s major sourcing events – Manila FAME, Manilanow, CEBUNEXT and Bijoux Cebu joined together under one roof, bringing to buyers and exhibitors a wider selection of furniture and furnishings, holiday and gifts, and fashion wearables. This partnership between the government and private sector was a show of unity and a message of strength: bringing back old buyers to the show; as well as creating a new corps of buyers. The two Manila FAME editions in 2012 successfully showcased the Filipino’s superior craftsmanship and material ingenuity; with the support and cooperation of the industry’s Business Support Organizations: • Chamber of Furniture Industries of the Philippines (CFIP–National) • Cebu Furniture Industries Foundation, Inc. (CFIF) • Chamber of Furniture Industries of the Philippines –Pampanga (CFIP–Pampanga Chapter) • Fame Foundation Philippines, Inc. (Cebu FAME) • Association of Negros Producers, Inc.
