[Title] => Exporters press for duty-free entry of RP garments in US market
[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.
This was confirmed yesterday by Garments and Textile Export Board (GTEB) president Serafin Juliano who said that informal talks for a possible sectoral free trade agreement have been started since an official bilateral agreement between the Philippines and the US is more complicated and takes more time.

[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] => GTEB sees post-quota marts for RP garments
[Summary] => The expiration of the garments quota system this year will open up new opportunities for Philippine brand garments, according to Garments and Textiles Export Board (GTEB) executive director Serafin Juliano.
Juliano disclosed that Philippine garments brands such Bench, Penshoppe, Bayo, Kamiseta, Folded & Hung have been wanting to penetrate the US market.
Unfortunately, because of the quota regime system, they were not able to do so because they did not have the necessary quota allocation to access the US market.

[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] => Garments sector seen to grow 15%
[Summary] => Garments and Textile Export Board (GTEB) executive director Serafin Juliano is optimistic that the garments sector will recover in 2005 with a growth of 15 percent, in dollar value, even though the sector is likely to register a flat growth this year.
However, in achieving the 15-percent growth in 2005, Juliano warned that the garments industry would have to undergo some consolidation and even possible closures just to be able to maintain its dollar business.

[Title] => US sets condition for retention of RP garment quota
[Summary] => The Philippines is optimistic that the US will agree to allow the country to continue availing of the six-percent carry-over on garments quota allocation for this year provided that the government agrees to return to the negotiating table on the stalled World Trade Organization (WTO) talks and begin discussion on some of the so-called Singapore Ministerial Conference (SMC) issues.

[Summary] => Garment shipments for the whole of 2002 are expected to drop by more than five percent to $2.8 billion from $2.974 billion in 2001, the Garments and Textile Export Board (GTEB) said yesterday.
For this year, GTEB executive director Serafin Juliano said garment exports are still expected to contract by three percent due to the generally weak global demand for locally-made garments and the stiff competition poised by other low-cost producing countries.
The country’s major markets for garments are the US and Japan.
