the achievement of Sustainable
MANILA -- Health Secretary
Francisco T. Duque III, during
the 19th Philippine National
Immunization
Conference,
stressed
to
fellow
health
workers and participants that
vaccination has been proven to
be the most successful and cost-
effective medical intervention
ever
introduced,
saving
millions of lives every year and
preventing countless illnesses
among individuals, families,
and communities. He added
that vaccines play a key role in
national health and development
but their broader value today is
still highly underestimated.
The
Philippine
President...
during the ABAC meeting was
really about the digitalization
of MSMEs and it was also
discussed during the Sunday
morning session.
“The
messages
of President were obvious
regarding making sure that again
‘yung globalization should not
really affect the small countries
and, at the same time, the smaller
players in small countries,” Sec.
Lopez said about the President’s
intervention on the discussions
on MSMEs.

“So, in other words,
he mentioned that we have to
make sure that the globalization
will really benefit everyone,” he
continued.

The President insisted,
according to Sec. Lopez, that
MSMEs can be empowered if
given proper training, human
resource development, and
preparation for businesses’
digitalization.

“He recognized that not
all MSMEs are empowered to
operate their respective digital
operation regarding entering
into e-commerce or, in fact,
even getting access sometimes
to a stable internet. And that is
the reason why he is saying iba-
ibang level ‘yan,” Sec. Lopez
said.

MSMEs
must
be
provided with strong internet
infrastructure or the ability to be
able to maximize their access to
information, data, e-commerce,
and
financial
technology
regarding e-payments.

“He
knows
that
eventually, the economy is really
going towards that direction.
Digitalizing business. So, at
this point, ang sinabi niya talaga
very important to provide a lot
of training, retraining, education
for the MSMEs,” Sec. Lopez
Development Goals and a huge
step towards the realization of
these goals is reducing child
mortality and morbidity from
vaccine-preventable diseases.
Over
the
years,
vaccination has improved the
lives of the people, especially
the poor, with the collaborative
efforts of diligent health workers,
development partners, as well
as other government and non-
government affiliates. However,
in the light of recent controversies
hounding the government’s
immunization program, Duque
appealed to all Filipinos to
work together in changing the
prevailing mindset to win back
vaccine confidence. (DOH)

With
regards
to
globalization, Sec. Lopez said
that the President emphasized
the principle of having a ‘win-
win’ arrangements and respect
for sovereignty.

administration’s
diplomacy

APEC
Economic
Leaders created ABAC in
November 1995 to provide
advice for the implementation
of the ‘Osaka Action Agenda’
and to respond when the various
APEC fora request information
about business-related issues
or to provide the business
perspective on specific areas of
cooperation.
The
ABAC
International
Secretariat is based in the
Philippines.

After the dialogue with
ABAC, the leaders gathered for
the APEC Leaders’ Dialogue

countries to cooperate on how to
address climate change that will
affect not only their economy
but also their existence, ” Sec.
Lopez said.

The Pacific Islands
include Papua New Guinea, the
Cook Islands, Fiji, Micronesia,
Niue, Samoa, Tonga, and
Vanuatu.

While Papua New

the leaders of the other island
nations have been invited to
participate in the APEC summit
here as observers.
