SME in Focus
Empowering the SMEs
Being an archipelagic country, pushing development is doubly challenging for the Philippines. Thus, there is a need to develop a strong and robust nautical highway that will complement the development of roads under Strong Republic Nautical Highway project of the government.
It has been proven that the Strong Republic Nautical Highway (SRNH) or Roll On-Roll Off (Ro-Ro) has increased regional trade, boosted tourism and agricultural productivity and the development of the countryside. Further, the Ro-Ro contributes a lot in making the cost of goods cheaper
The $220 million worth of loans provided by French financial organizations to the Department of Transportation and Communications for the construction and and improvement of 70 Ro-Ro ports nationwide is a good development towards the making of a more robust Ro-Ro.
The emergence of a stronger nautical highway is certainly a big boost to the SMEs in the countryside because it gives them greater mobility to transport and sell their goods.

Yellow Coco: Born out of love for gardening
Veteran insurance and multi-awarded Philippine American Life and General Insurance Company (Philamlife) agent Yolanda Mortel thought her working life would evolved only around insurance. Being a member of the Million Dollar Roundtable circle of Philamlife, Mortel is one of the reasons why Philamlife is the country’s leading insurance company.
She was not aware that the gardening pursued by husband Reynaldo gradually developed and later they’ve become addicted to it. The mother of two recalls they bought lots in the provinces whenever they have the opportunity to pursue gardening. Mortel used her earnings from her commissions to buy the lots.
