                    [Summary] => 



A Bicol lawmaker says abaca fiber — the region’s principal export — can be blended and made a composite material for spare parts and accessories for motor vehicles.


According to Camarines Sur Rep. Luis Villafuerte, abaca fiber can be used as a substitute composite material for fiberglass, which is used for making quality car interior and exterior components.

Temic’s other, much larger plant in Taguig produces electronic brake systems.

It turned out that this was Mayor Jejomar Binay's earthquake drill, with Makati City in the middle of an earthquake. It was the first time I heard of any major city in this country that did a drill.
