Year 2006, Metalock Philippines located at Makati, Philippines was bought by Mr.
Cabotaje and renamed it to Fleet Maintenance and Consultancy Services, Incorporated having
the same service offering with Metalock Engineering. Metalock Engineering allowed
FMCS to use the brand “Metalock” or represent the
Metalock Philippines by not using the name of the
company. From meager resources and personnel in its
early years of operation, the company grew and increased
in all aspects of operations. The successful growth of
FMCS has been achieved through their quality of work
and emergency services provided. The FMCS services
have its application in almost every field of the industry.
The company started as an all-in place service firm. “It
has no shop nor plant but only tools plus the know-how”.
Today, the FMCS shop support facility is being developed. Steps are being
undertaken to further improve and expand company’s service capabilities. The company
availed the SETUP program through the DOST PSTC Batangas for technological
interventions in upgrading their production facilities. The project was approved in December
2015 with the provision of the Vertical Turret Milling Machine which will be implemented in
the first quarter of 2016. The project aims to speed up the production process and increase
sales, to eliminate the subcontracting practice of the company, strengthen the capability of
FMCS in terms of fabrication, improve their product and service quality, reduce rejects,
generate savings and increase the production capacity.

Technology Upgrade of the Sortidos Production of Panaderia Pantoja, Inc. Mr. Arthur Anthony G, Pantoja (President / COO)
Panaderia Pantoja, Inc.
#81 A. Mabini Ave., Tanauan City Batangas
In 1950, the couple Aurelio and Celinda Pantoja arrived in
their inherited house in Barangay IV, Tanauan City, Batangas and
found a worn out brick oven in the backyard. The oven inspired
Aurelio to start a bakery business. With only a capital of Php 50, 000,
Aurelio rehabilitated the oven and hired few bakers from neighboring
towns. During that time, there were no mechanical equipment such as
mixers, rounders, dough rollers and slicers. Everything was made and
processed by hand. Aurelio performed multiple jobs and functions
from being the purchaser, delivery man and production manager while
Celinda handled the day-to-day operations of the bakery. There were
only two bakeries in Tanauan, Panaderia Pantoja and Almeda Bakery.
The couple relied only on “word of mouth” to market their products
which at that time were only limited to pandesal, jacobina, paborita, and a few other old time
favorites.
The couple has six (6) children and their eldest son Arturo had a strong interest in the
business. Arturo, after obtaining a degree in Business Administration from the University of
the East, took over the business in 1970 and started mechanizing the operations and hired
more people. By that time, new bakeries have emerged in town. Panaderia Pantoja was no
longer affected since it has already established its name and a loyal customer base. Panaderia
Pantoja has become one of the largest bakery chain business in the province of Batangas with
franchisees, dealers, and company owned branches in different towns in Batangas, Cavite,
Laguna and the Greater Manila Area. Panaderia Pantoja has also entered the international
market by exporting some of the products from the Sortidos (biscuits) line through a
consolidator.
In 2012, Panaderia Pantoja was awarded their first SETUP project in upgrading their
production facility. DOST interventions provided to them were the following: acquired
equipment to increase production capacity and compliance to GMP and HACCP through
SETUP; nutritional and shelf-Life Analysis of jacobina
(SETUP) and biscocho product; manpower training on GMP,
5s and HACCP; conduct of Energy Audit; and consultancy
(MPEX) and technical advisory services on production
process and plant lay-out and facilities. Over-all impact of the
project is 33% increase in the production and sales. Seeing
other needs for improvements and upgrades due to increasing
market demand, Panaderia Pantoja applied again for DOST
assistance through TAPI Venture Financing in upgrading their
sortidos production line. Through TNA, they identified the
need for acquisition of cookie forming machine and senior
Page 5 of 54
dough roller. MOA signing of the project was conducted last December 2015 and equipment
acquisition will be in the first quarter of 2016. Expected outputs of the project include
elimination of backlogging in the rolling process and maximizing the production line,
improve in production of sortidos, ensure product quality for fixed roller adjustment for
sortidos line, improvement in production time, reduction of remnants of dough using the
machine, savings on man-hours, reduction of rejects from deformed cuttings and
maximization of mixer capacity.

Marcelo M. Mendoza (Proprietor)
Marzel Woodworks and Sash Factory
Brgy. Malinis, Lemery, Batangas
The Marzel Woodworks and Sash Factory began its
operation in the furniture industry in the year 2003 in Brgy.
Tubigan, Lemery, Batangas. However, the business was
stopped in the year 2005 to 2008 because his brother went
abroad. Engr. Marcelo Mendoza decided to continue the
business in the year 2009 for his son, an student in college
with a Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship to have this
actual experience in the field of entrepreneurship.
He established Marzel Woodworks and Sash Factory
in Brgy. Malinis, Lemery, Batangas because of its
accessibility to the customers. At first, he did not know who
their customers are but with the help of old customers and
referrals, he continued to grow the business. It is a family
business with his wife as the manager and his son as business
adviser.
To upgrade their production facility, Engr. Mendoza
tapped the assistance of DOST PSTC Batangas for SETUP
program. The project proposal was submitted/endorsed for TAPI Venture Financing
Program to acquire the FPRDI-designed kiln dryer and other equipment for furniture
business. The TAPI/DOST Team already visited and validated the project proposal. The
project is expected to be approved and implemented in 2016 with target outputs of increased
production volume and sales, improved the processes on planing, sanding, cutting, curving
and drying from 30 to 75%, eliminated the sub-contracting system for metal works and saved
on its production cost, installed one unit of kiln dryer to ensure the desired drying
requirement of the wood for better quality of finished products, utilized the wood waste as
kiln dry fuel and reduced the production cost on raw materials, processes and subcontracting
of some metal works.

Upgrading of Condiments Production Facility of Cristie Food Seasonings
Cristie Food Seasonings
Maria Cristina Maranan (Proprietress)
Yakal 2, Fuentes Subdivision, Brgy. Maruhatan, Lian, Batangas
The root of this business started in the old times when
her parents went to Lian Public Market to individually
distribute their first products, vinegar and soy sauce to market
stores. Her parents said that “di naman ganoong kahirap.
Sipag at tiyaga lang ang kailangan.” to put the business. Due
to their astonishing diligence and dedication to their work, it
started to grow exponentially, from selling the products until
such time that they distribute to the stores as their outlets.
In 2010, this success was followed by the additional
product to the industry, the Cristie Banana Catsup. It leads the
company into a new surrounding and an opportunity to
increase the capability in providing Filipinos distinguished
condiments and spices for their kitchen needs.
As of today, Cristie Food Seasonings is delivering
food products in the whole province of Batangas as well as
some parts of nearby provinces of Cavite and Laguna.
In June 9, 2015, the firm started to coordinate with PSTC Batangas the SETUP
assistance to upgrade her plant site. The project proposal was already approved and will be
implemented in the first quarter of 2016. The S&T interventions to be provided is the
acquisition of automatic liquid and pouch filling machines, steam boiler and GMP training.
On the other hand, the GMP implements such as installations of foot bath, stainless steel
tables and sinks as well as renovations of the production facility to align to the layout
recommended by the Food Safety and TNA Team will be the counterpart of the proponent.
The expected outputs of the project is to increase the production capacity, reduction in
length of time conducting equipment maintenance, increase in sales, improve the quality of
the products, processes and production site in compliance with FDA requirements.

Equipment Upgrade to Maximize Productivity Of Rapid Curing Production Line In
Manufacturing Of Quality Chicken Salted Eggs
Eggciting Products Manufacturing
Ambrocio Kerwin A. Perez (Proprietor)
Brgy. Taysan North, San Jose, Batangas
Eggciting Products Manufacturing is a company with
a VISION for every Filipino to enjoy our culturally rooted
love affair with salted eggs without the usual quality
disappointment. It was established in 2013 with the
MISSION to migrate the family-owned salted egg business
that started in 2008 from traditional methods of salted egg
processing to the present technology-based salted egg
manufacturing with GOALS of achieving higher productivity
and better product quality; thus, enhanced competitiveness
and profitability.
Today, Eggciting Products Manufacturing stands as the
only company in the Philippines and the world that
commercially manufactures salted eggs using accelerated curing,
requiring only half the time of traditional methods (i.e. 14-30
days in clay smear or brine solution method), or lesser. This
technology innovation delivered higher productivity and
maintained egg’s freshness better than traditional processes.
With the company's product quality, institutional and retail
clients are able to develop end-consumer loyalty whilst
eliminating inventory losses from premature “best before”
product spoilage (public market & institutional client, e.g.
Binalot sa Dahon).
Driven by the quality of its salted egg products using its rapid hygienic curing
technique introduced in 2013, the company enjoyed unprecedented market acceptance and
growth particularly within the institutional market segment.
In view of this, the company sought to overcome the manufacturing challenges posed
by its antiquated rapid hygienic curing production line with upgraded equipment as it starts to
open its doors to toll manufacturing arrangements with small and large egg farms,
institutional clients, and egg traders, as the more "inclusive" market strategy that can "rapidly
respond to market situations", accelerate its quality-product reach, expand market base to
better manage market situations risks, and ensure sustainable revenue growth and
profitability. The company decided to request DOST SETUP intervention to implement
equipment upgrade and achieve the above objectives. As identified in the Technology Needs
Assessment, in order to maximize the use of all equipment in the production line, provision
of the following is needed: disinfection equipment, pulse pressure control equipment, heating,
recirculation, and recycling equipment, rack and tray equipment, vacuum pump, vacuum egg
lifter equipment, and scroll pump. The project is for implementation in 2016 and expected
output are to reduce the egg breakage due human handling; improve the processes and
product quality, generate saving due to lower production cost and raw materials on curing,
Page 8 of 54
longer shelf life of the product, reduce energy input but comply the cGMP requirements,
safe control and operation and eliminate motor breakdown and increase the useable life of
the curing solution and reduce the salted egg production time.

In 1999, the father and uncle of Mr. Gerard
Mendoza planted hectares of mahogany trees registered
with DENR in Laurel, Batangas. While waiting for these
trees to become productive, the family ventured into fuel
business in partnership with Caltex Philippines and Rental
business. In early 2011, the land with mahogany trees
was transferred to Mr. Gerard Mendoza and his wife, Liaa
Encarnacion. Since then, the couple started to venture into
furniture business. In 2012, when the couple
already gained knowledge on furniture business,
they eventually established their own furniture
shop. The business is registered under the name of
Mauro Zamora Design Furniture which is derived
from the name of their children. It is managed and
operated by Ms. Liaa Encarnacion-Mendoza assisted by experienced and dedicated
workers during the start of its operations. Her ability to
run the business made her realized on how to enhance the
production and improve the quality of their products for
better market opportunity in the nearby municipalities and
even outside the province. They have attended schooling at
SoFA Design Institute, attended trainings and seminars
organized by Chamber of Furniture Industries of the
Philippines and benchmarked other well-established
furniture shops such as Marsse Tropical Timber
Plantation, Inc. In 2014, they tap the assistance of Forest
Products Research and Development Institute for the establishment of their kiln dryer.
FPRDI’s Ms. Grecelda A. Eusebio advised the company to seek the assistance of DOST
SETUP to upgrade their production facility.
Through the Technology Needs Assessment, the provision of the following
equipment is needed to upgrade their production facility: horizontal vertical sander, auto
one sided planar, double bag dust collector, radial arm saw, cutter head, and finishing

Pelletizing Technology to Upgrade Production Capability of PADECO
Josephine D. Comia (General Manager) / Christopher B. Comia (Chairman)
Padre Garcia Development Cooperative (PADECO)
Brgy. Pasol, Padre Garcia, Batangas
Padre Garcia Development Cooperative (PADECO)
is a producer cooperative duly registered under Cooperative
Development Authority. It was established in 1988 and now
classified as Medium Enterprise in terms of capital and
categorized as Small Enterprise because of the number of
workers. Its main product is to produce feeds for swine and
cattle and provide services on artificial insemination of hogs.
One of the biggest programs of PADECO is Feeds
Dispersal Program. The cooperative produces and supplies
feeds to the members for the consumption of their livestock
farms on a credit basis. It has exclusive haulers to ensure
that the hogs are sold and payment is properly collected.
PADECO tapped the SETUP program through PSTC
Batangas office. The project proposal was submitted and
endorsed by DOST IV A to TAPI Venture Financing for the
adoption of pelletizing technology in producing pellet-type
feeds with improve palatability and nutritional content.
Expected to implement in the first quarter of 2016 with an output of reducing the shrinkage
cost, conversion of mashed to pellet type feeds, increase volume and sales and increase the
milling revenue.
Product Quality and Process Upgrading of Panaligan Bagoong and Patis in Balayan,
Batangas
Panaligan Bagoong and Patis
Cesar M. Javier (Proprietor)
Brgy. 8 (Poblacion), Balayan, Batangas
Sometime in 1950s, Mrs. Efifania Atienza-Panaligan
started the bagoong business using tapayan (traditional) way
in making bagoong for additional income as fish vendor. She
was selling these bagoong in bulk as the whole tapayan
(including the container) to other bagoong (fish-paste)
producers in Balayan for repacking / bottling. The business
was eventually handed down to her children knowing what's
best for the business will be best for the family.
In 1987, when one of Mrs. Efifania’s daughter,
Virginia Panaligan Javier, married Mr. Cesar Javier, the
couple ventured into bottling the bagoong produced by Mrs. Efifania. Mrs. Virginia
Panaligan resigned from her job as bank employee at the City Trust Branch in Calamba,
Laguna in which her savings from her work was used to start the repacking business. During
Page 10 of 54
the start of their business, their mother was still the one
making bagoong while they are repacking them and do
the marketing. They produced around 50 bottles for 2
weeks and delivered it in Tanauan, Batangas and
Calamba, Laguna. Eventually, they hired workers who
will deliver the products until such time their business
turned into a huge success. The volume of production
have increased in number and become extremely large.
After putting 5 years of hard work into bagoong business
they already purchased a vehicle and in the year 2000 her
father gave her a vehicle as a gift which they used as
service vehicle for delivery of bagoong from 1000 bottles
per day. They now owned 2 delivery vehicle due to expansion of their products to the market
which produces 5,000 bottles per week.
To comply for FDA LTO acquisition, they need to upgrade their production facility
and tapped the assistance of DOST PSTC Batangas for this improvement. The project
proposal was submitted/approved and will be implemented in 2016 with the S&T
interventions of the pneumatic liquid filling machine with compressor to upgrade their
bottling process. Other recommendations by the Food Safety and TNA Team are the
acquisition of stainless steel grinder, packaging and labelling design improvement, conduct of
cGMP training, and renovation of production layout to comply with FDA standards which
will be handled by the proponent. The project is targeted for implementation in 2016
with the expected outputs of improving the filling process, increase production volume
and meet market demands and comply the FDA standards on the product and production
facility requirements.

Community-Based Projects
Improvement of Salt Industry in Lobo, Batangas to support the ASIN Law
Implementation in the Province
Mr. Leo Glenn Macatangay (President)
Samahan ng Nagkakaisang Mamamayan Para sa Pagsulong at Pag-unlad sa Brgy. Sawang
Brgy. Sawang, Lobo, Batangas
Samahan ng Nagkakaisang Mamamayan Para sa
Pagsulong at Pag-unlad sa Brgy. Sawang (SANAMAPPBS) was organized under the leadership of
Hon. Mayor Gaudioso R. Manalo of Lobo, Batangas. It is one
of the organized associations in the locality for the coastal
community. The LGU-Lobo aims to establish different
sectoral groups in the municipality to develop them as
People’s Organization who are independent from the
municipal government and to develop their own livelihood
projects. The association was registered to DOLE-Batangas
with the assistance of Mayor Manalo.
In 2007, the LGU-Lobo established salt production
facility using fractional crystallization technology that they
adopted from Pangasinan. Before, the production facility was
operated by the local government. Due to change of
leadership caused by local election, the salt production was
not prioritized by the new leadership leading to its closure.
As part of the Community Empowerment thru Science
and Technology (CEST) Program of DOST IV-A, one of the
livelihood identified by the Local Government Unit of Lobo was the rehabilitation of the salt
industry due to its market viability and acceptable by the locals of Lobo due to its adjacency
with sea waters and good quality of salt. The salinity of the sea water in the area is 4.5°Be as
tested by Engr. Armando T. Mallillin of ITDI-DOST. The assessment was conducted and
reported that the salt facility can be rehabilitated and restored for production of salt in the
locality. Through DOST IV-A GIA fund, the project proposal was approved and for
implementation in the first quarter of 2016 with the support from LGU-Lobo. The joint
funding of DOST IV A and LGU- Lobo will materialize the rehabilitation and re operation of
the salt industry in Lobo. It is the first salt project in Region IV that can be operated using
the fractional crystallization technology. The project is expected to generate income for the
fisher folks, increase in employment opportunities, create livelihood in the area and
produce the quality iodized salt.

Bucket
Proving Tank
Regional Volumetric Calibration Laboratory rendered the total of 1,159 services
for 2015. These were distributed as 717 vehicle / trailer tank, 439 buckets and 3 proving
tanks. The month of July was the peak month for calibrating vehicle tank and trailer trucks
while November was the lean month. Compared with the 2014 data, there was drastic
increased on calibration rendered for both vehicle tank, trailer trucks and buckets due to
temporary stopped operation of ITDI/NML Calibration Laboratory. Slight decreased of
calibration services rendered were observed in the months of January, April, May and
November 2015 which was attributed to early calibration of some trucks prior to their
expiration date.

In terms of calibration services rendered, June was the peak season while
November was the lean month.
Regional Volumetric Calibration Laboratory served 260 firms in CALABARZON
and other neighboring Regions for 2015. There was 35.4% increased in the number of
firms served due to temporary stopped operation of ITDI-NML and its accessible
strategic location and quality service.
RVCL had generated an income deposited to the Bureau of Treasury and TAPI
Account. The amount of monthly collection was directly related to the number of
calibration services rendered.

Attitude of Staff
Over-all Perception
Regional Volumetric Calibration Laboratory had conducted Customer Satisfaction
Measurement for the improvement of its quality service. Based on the graph, staff
attitude is the most rated among satisfaction measurement (SM) with 1.19 rating (closer to 1)
and delivery time is accounted to have lowest rating (1.29) because of over target capacity of
customers per day due to the customers who have just arrived without schedule. These
customers have spent long waiting time to calibrate their calibration item resulting to lower
rating of delivery time. The cost is still on its excellent rating equal to the rating on the
quality service provided.

Consultancy Services
MPEX
Manufacturing Productivity Extension for Export
Promotion (MPEX) is a program intended to help increase the
productivity of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) in
the Philippine manufacturing sector. The Technology
Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI) of the
Department of Science and Technology (DOST) implements
MPEX to cover the following objectives: identify strategies to
improve productivity of small and medium manufacturing
enterprises in the export sector and potential exporters;
recommend productivity improvement measures for
immediate implementation; and develop capability to provide
other forms of assistance to develop the manufacturing sector.
A consultancy team from the Summit Consultancy and
Research Services served to cover enterprise beneficiaries in
Batangas namely Joshua’s Bread House in San Pascual,
Batangas, Taliba Soap Manufacturing in San Luis, Batangas
and Pantoja Bagoong and Patis Balayan in Balayan, Batangas.
The MPEX team prepared a Work Program for the
activity. Each firm designated their own personnel to assist
the team during project implementation. Basic performance
indicators assessed/measured at the start of the study included
capacity utilization, output per worker, wastage levels, existing manufacturing systems and
related operations.
The MPEX team in consultation with the customers selected
an area where productivity improvement potentials are great. An in-
depth study on the selected productivity improvement concern was
conducted and recommendations were formulated for
implementation of firm beneficiaries. A technical report was
submitted by the team documenting the assessment, analysis,
evaluation and recommendations made.
Participation to the program was free of charge and firm
level reports are treated with outmost confidentiality.
As of December 2015, the consultancy services for the
enrolled three (3) firms is on-going and expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2016.

to their feeding programs.
DOST IV-A also extended the assistance to the group by
providing the equipment as packaged in the project entitled
“Enhancement of Complementary Food Products through
Packaging and Labeling Assistance and Feeding Program
Evaluation / Assessment” which was approved and released the fund
on April 29, 2014.
Presently, the FNRI, DOST IV A and E. Zobel Foundation have
collaborative projects to use the food blend and crunchies for the feeding
programs of LGU Magdalena, Laguna and LGU-Lobo, both were the
beneficiaries of the Community Empowerment thru Science and
Technology (CEST) Program of DOST IV A.

Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Program
DOST is the Vice-Chairman of the Prevention and Disaster Mitigation Program.
DOST IV-A initiative projects include fiberglass rescue boat, Hazard Notification
Dissemination and Awareness (HANDA) and LGU Information Dissemination System
(LGUIDS) and Hydro Meteorological Devices consisting of Automatic Rain Gauge, Water
Level Monitoring Station and Automatic Weather Station which are under the project
Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (NOAH). Presently, there were total of
twelve (12) Automatic Rain Gauges and one (1) Automatic Weather Station and one (1)
Water Level Monitoring System strategically installed in Batangas.
On November 20, 2015, The projects on “Sensing Environmental Parameters
Through Telemetry (SENTRY)” and Tactical Operative and Amphibious Drive (TOAD)
were launched at PUSOD TLCC, Mataasnakahoy, Batangas as one of the highlight activities
in the 52nd DOST IV A Anniversary Celebration. It was attended by the partners agencies
such as NGAs, SUCs, Media Men/Women, LGU/Barangay officials and residents of
Mataasnakahoy. The occasion was graced by the DOST Undersecretary, Dr. Amelia P.
Guevara who rendered her inspirational message.
SENTRY is an innovative project for the real-time water quality monitoring in Taal,
Lake. This was deployed at the Lipote River under the bridge connecting the Municipalities
of Mataasnakahoy and Balete. The TOAD on the other hand is an amphibious vehicle to be
deployed on areas experiencing calamities during rescue operations. The development of both
devices were in partnership with Batangas State University. The SENTRY was deployed
through collaborative efforts of DOST IV A, PUSOD Inc., LGUs Mataasnakahoy and
Balete, Batangas State University and Barangay residents and officials of two municipalities.
Through the Management Information Unit (MIS) of DOST IV A, the total of 12
Automatic Rain Gauges and Water Level Monitoring System were installed to the different
municipalities in the province of Batangas (see Listing of Hydromet Devices).
