Grateful for the privilege to be invited to the Philippine Statistics Authority’s Provincial Product Accounts (PPA) Dissemination Forum. This account is the most recent economic performance data of Palawan and Puerto Princesa City covering 2019-2021.



Palawan and City LGU are among the pilot provinces and cities of PSA to conduct and analyze the provincial- and city-level economic outlook. For the past years, this information generally applies in the regional context; now, it’s more localized — providing the LGUs a more specific, high-quality, and timely data which are crucial for us, our leaders, policymakers, private sectors, and other stakeholders as we co-create, co-design, and co-innovate appropriate projects, platforms, and programs to restore progress toward a strong and sustainable economic growth for Palawan.


The recent economic outlook gives us a macro-level picture and understanding of Palawan’s economy. And at the same time, provides us with necessary information on what sectors, industries, and services we should prioritize.


This will help us regenerate our efforts and resources towards more collaborative partnerships to maneuver our way back for us to rebound and recover from the impact of the pandemic and Typhoon Odette, among others, and achieve inclusive growth and the net zero-goal environment — not only for Palaweños but to our adjacent regions as well.



PPA will be up on the PSA’s website in weeks' time. And am glad because our economy has now been slowly bouncing back. We still have a lot to do, though, but I believe we will get there. We just need to continue to walk the talk together.


PZC's She Roa was able to update what the company has achieved with its Eco Kolek and Farm Konek projects to the Provincial Chief Statistical Specialist Lalaine Rodriguez, Assistant National Statistician Vivian Ilarina representing the PSA’s Undersecretary Mapa, and the PSA Regional Director Leni Rioflorido.

Three of Project Zacchaeus' staff: Jan Aldwin Bermeo, Yen Lipay, and Jofer Malolos got their certifications as Solid Waste Management Community-Based Trainers with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).


The 5-day training was a great opportunity to learn and be equipped with methodologies that would help improve training competencies and skills to become effective mentors in the field.

A thorough discussion on how to formulate session plans, terminal reports, and information sheets has been emphasized because they are critical in conducting capacity-building activities.


Thank you TESDA for this wonderful chance to be trained and to be certified so we can upgrade our level of service to the communities we serve through our Project Eco Kolek.

We are grateful for the opportunity to be invited by the San Vicente LGU, as one of the resource speakers during their Resource Management Forum cum Launching of their Second Cluster Marine Protected Areas.




She Roa of Project Zacch shared with the local community leaders of San Vicente, Palawan what we have been doing in Eco Kolek — the learnings we’ve got both from the expertise of our Eco Warriors and capacity assistance provided by USAID CCBO regarding waste classification and promotion of 3Rs/SWM, national and local SWM regulations, and of course, the narrative stories of our Eco Warriors.



It was a great moment to discuss and explore collaborative partnerships with locals and grassroot leaders, to listen to their societal pains when it comes to coastal and marine management, MPAs, SWM, and food security (we also shared our Farm Konek), among others, and then co-create innovative solutions to address them.


Congratulations, San Vicente LGU, especially to the Municipal Agriculture Office!
