Batangas Action for Services and Development - CSR Initiatives

The following are some of the Professional and Business Groups already existing in Batangas which we are aware of: 1. The Batangas Province Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (BPCCI) is an organization of businessmen and company official representatives. Membership is open only to those whose businesses are duly registered with the appropriate regulatory body and has a permit to operate. (www.batangaschamber.com) 2. The Philippine Marketing Association (PMA), Batangas Chapter is an organization of marketing, promotion and advertising professionals who either represents their company, or are employed by a company with a Marketing or Promotions Department. 3. The Batangas Industrial Security Alliance (BISA) is a group of Security Professionals and Security Officers representing the Industrial and Manufacturing Firms which are mostly situated along the coastal areas of Batangas Province. They are now trying to attract more members from the Industrial Estate locators and inland towns. 4. The People's Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP) Calabarzon Chapter is an organization of companies and their management executives engaged or interested in human resource management (HRM) and industrial relations (IR) work. With the above groups: trade and commerce / investments ; marketing and promotions / advertisements ; peace and order and industrial peace / security ; human resources management and industrial relations / labor and employment -- are properly addressed. Most of the ordinary / rank-and-file personnel cannot gain entry into these groups. Some micro-small-medium enterprises (MSMEs) cannot also gain entry into these groups,. The membership fees and dues may also be beyond their means. The Batangas Action for Services and Development - CSR (BASeD) is now being organized to admit members from the rank-and-file or from Batangas OFWs who want to contribute their time and effort to address CSR Initiatives and concerns of the small-and-medium enterprises in Batangas Province. We have received pledges from companies for some of their employees to join BASeD as soon as it is registered. If you have a group, non-profit organization which is related to industry, business, enterprise, trade and commerce, and other economic activities and you want to network with us, please feel free to get in touch. We have been organizing a database since 2004 and we would appreciate your help and feedback. We have four e-mails which are batangascham and batangaschamber with yahoo.com and gmail.com extensions.
