TANGGAPAN NG ALKADE
As the country’s premier organization for the printing and digital companies industry, I congratulate the Printing
Industries Association of the Philippines, Inc . (PIAP), on your 9th PRINT PHILIPPINES event, 16th National
printers Convention, and 50th Anniversary! This occasion really provides the ideal venue for information and
technology exchange for the industry. The PIAP is indeed “Solid and Trailblazing @50”!
The contributions that your industry brings and will continue to bring to the country in terms of investments,
employment and other drivers of growth are seen to be unparalleled compared with other countries.
The Philippine printing industry has always aimed high to achieve global competitiveness. As it is, the industry
remains a major player in the economy, giving our country the potential to become a printing press, digital arts and
graphic design hub, bringing with it unparalleled opportunities for our countrymen.
It is my fervent hope that your industry will continue to grow and be able to contribute further to domestic economic
growth, and become the primary source of quality graphics and images both here and internationally as well.
