[Summary] => The Confederation of Garment Exporters of the Philippines (CONGEP) has initiated ground work on securing a sectoral agreement with the United States for duty-free access of Philippine garments and textile to the profitable US market.

[Title] => RP eyes new export tack as garment quota ends
[Summary] => The Philippines is adopting a more complementary garments export strategy with its ASEAN neighbors in the advent of a quota-free market.
Garments and Textile Export Board (GTEB) executive director Serafin Juliano said the Philippines has agreed to a planned complementation program for garments with its ASEAN neighbors.
The planned complementation scheme for garments, Juliano explained, would mean that the Philippines, for example, would specialize on design and branding, while another ASEAN neighbor like Indonesia would concentrate on fabric manufacture.

[Title] => Potentials of local fibers cited
[Summary] => The Garments and Textile Export Board (GTEB) foresees a potential growth area for the Philippine garments industry in high-end indigenous and organic fiber materials.
According to GTEB executive director Serafin Juliano, there is a growing trend for garments made out of indigenous and organic fibers.
Juliano said the markets for such garments are mainly the United States and Europe, specifically buyers who want high quality and specialty products.
The Philippine garments industry can easily tap such market with indigenous fibers such as abaca and piña.

[Title] => Garment exports continue to drop
[Summary] => Dollar earnings from garment exports amounted to $1.092 billion in the first five months of the year, down by 3.62 percent from $1.133 billion recorded in the same period last year.
Garments and Textile Export Board (GTEB) Exective Director Serafin Juliano said the continued decline has slowed down as a result of the expansion in May export figures which posted a growth of 2.78 percent compared to the May 2003 exports.
GTEB figures show that garments and textile sales amounted to $231 million in May this year compared to May 2003’s export of $224 million.
