EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Camarines Sur Provincial Office of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has donated to the City Government of Naga units of machines, tools, and equipment for the establishment of a Shared Service Facility (SSF) inside the Naga City People’s Mall.

For its part, the City Government of Naga constructed a Good Management Practices (GMP)-compliant facility at the Meat Section of the Naga City People’s Mall to house the donated machines, tools and equipment that will be used by the meat vendors and food processors inside the People’s Mall.

Accordingly, the City Government entrusted to the Market Enterprise and Promotions Office (MEPO), to be assisted by the City MetroPESO, the efficient management of the Shared Service Facility.

To ensure its continuous and efficient operation, the MEPO has been tasked to establish a mechanism that will generate funds by collecting “participation fees” from those meat processors who will use the equipment and tools inside the Shared Service Facility based on the schedule of fees provided for in this proposed Ordinance.

With the new equipment and tools and a GMP-compliant facility, it is ensured that hygienic practices and better quality standards are observed in the handling and processing of meat products that will eventually be sold to the general public.

Considering the importance of this facility in the furtherance of the interest of our local entrepreneurs, particularly those involved in meat processing and distribution, approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
