Bukidnon Pineapple Jam Producer Earns FDA Certification with DOST Consultancy

Mama Nene Homemade Delights locally known as Paula’s Bukidnon Delight earns its Certificate of Product Registration (CPR) for its Pineapple Jam, through the consultancy and training services of the Department of Science and Technology.

The Certificate of Product Registration (CPR) is a requirement of the Food and Drug Administration for food products (beverages, water, canned goods, etc.), food supplements, medicines, and others if such products will be exported. It is also a requirement of institutional buyers such as malls and supermarkets. With the newly acquired CPR, this woman-led enterprise can now expand its market reach and offer its delicious and high-quality pineapple jam throughout the country through various malls, pasa- lubong centers, and others.

Ms. Paula Chiong, the owner, considers this achievement a significant milestone since pineapple jam is the very first product of the business.

“I thought na imposible para sa isa ka micro na negosyante na maka kuha og FDA LTO and CPR but with the help and guide of DOST napa sayon and napa dali and I have proven na walay impossible basta naay pasencya, pag kugi, perseverance and determination. Karon challenges nasad ang atubangon which is to conquer the Phil-

R.A.Form No.10.1(LCRO) ippine market”. She relayed how DOST has assisted her firm to acquire FDA License to Operate, and now her CPR. She also said that with this new milestone, she is ready to face a new challenge: conquering the Philippine market.

The firm first acquired the SETUP program. Aside from the technology upgrading they have acquired, they are also a licensee of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI)’s Enhanced Nutribun Technology. The firm is also a beneficiary of the Manufacturing Productivity Extension (MPEX) Program through the consultancy services of DOST. These programs have helped the company improve its plant layout, food safety, and halal training, which can help boost the firm’s competitiveness and productivity. The firm was also assisted in its laboratory analysis through the DOST 10 Regional Standards and Testing Laboratories.

Ms. Paula is currently producing 1,000 kilograms of pineapple jam every month

– an increase of 66% after DOST intervention and has produced seven additional products such as Pineapple muffin, pineapple ensaymada, Paula’s Mango Jam, Paula’s Langka, Paula’s vinegar, Paula’s vinaigrette and Paula’s Chili Sauce.

Paula’s Bukidnon Delights products are now becoming among the most sought-after pasalubong products from the province. The firm also caters walk-in visitors of their newly opened café at the Kaamulan Ground, Capitol Compound, Malaybalay City –where their enutribun facility is also at. (Goldy Cordero/DOST 10)

Poor reading performance does not only affect learner’s attitude toward reading but it also affects their interest in studies for they need to develop their higher order thinking skills. The Department of Education firmly believes that through partnership service, reading culture will be inculcated and strengthened every learner’s reading proficiency. Thus, bringing reading program outside the four corners of the classroom could be an effective technique. Institutionalizing reading program as part the annual activity of the municipality is a fresh start. This has been discussed and approved by the Sangguniang Bayan of one of the Municipality of Misamis Oriental. Having the Sangguniang Kabataan designed reading activities in a creative way captures the interest of youth to engage the activities. More creative minds, interactive environment, and learning with friends are some of the factors that motivate the learners. Volunteers are encouraged. Both private and public figures, may it be community professionals, local officials, business owners and more may help in different forms they could. In consideration that the reading program is spearheaded by the SK Federation along with the Committee of Education, the reading motivators such as public and private school teachers and administrators are to facilitate and assist the implementation of the program. Remarkable things happen when people in the community come together. This is a realization of the old African proverb which goes, “it takes a village to educate a child.” As a result, learners are able to compete in this dynamic society.

This is to inform the public that

Any transaction made and offered by Ms. Ereno on behalf of the company after the above-mentioned date will no longer be honored or authorized by the company.
