The provincial government of Misamis Oriental on Monday expressed its openness to collaborating with Taiwan.
In a weekly report, Administrator Ruel Gayoso said Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) Representative Wallace Minn-Gan Chow’s visit last July 22 opened possibilities for linkages between the province’s agriculture and labor sectors.
“This will bode well especially for our overseas Filipino workers,” he said.
Gayoso said Gov. Juliette Uy has also looked at the benefits for the agriculture sector’s sustainability through potential supply chains.
The Provincial Tourism Office facilitated Chow’s recent visit to the province.
“Misamis Oriental is one of our priorities for cooperation, and we will work closely together,” Chow said in a separate statement.
Celso Abucejo, special assistant to the governor, proposed the creation of a comprehensive development plan and a technical working group to further strengthen the partnership between Misamis Oriental and the TECO. (PNA)
