02:56Please note your calendar.

02:57This will happen on May 8th.

03:00Okay?

03:01May 8th.

03:02And it's just a few weeks.

03:03So, let's cut to the chase and introduce Angie Barrios and Dennis Chan.

03:10Good morning to you, Angie and Dennis.

03:14Morning.

03:15Good morning.

03:16So, tell us, paano ito nabuo ito?

03:21How did you ever come up with this kind of event?

03:24Actually, for metalworking or for IMTOP, it's been existing for a long time na rin po.

03:32Although, it's a new exhibit, but the people or the industry itself, it's very long na.

03:41So, they already know about the industry.

03:44So, alam na namin kung sino yung i-approach.

03:47But, yung medyo naging medyo nahirapan kami, of course, is buuin ang PSMX, in which this is basically the idea of Mr. Dennis Chan.

03:57Oy, galit pala ni Dennis.

03:59Oh, Dennis, paano mo naman ito na-form?

04:02Kasi, you know, I've been exposed to some events, you know, but never have I seen such a back-to-back, you know?

04:08Madali bang mag-organize ng event, Dennis?

04:12Ayan.

04:12Yung concept.

04:14Ayan.

04:15Siguro, galing doon sa background ko.

04:16I've been an event organizer yun nga lang, sa pang-disco lang yun dati.

04:20But anyway, so, the reason why we came out with this exhibition,

04:24I've been through a lot of exhibition, not only in the Philippines but around the world.

04:30So, sabi ko, you might not do it also in the Philippines.

04:33Kaya lang, madalas, we've been showcasing machineries exhibition lang.

04:38So, ang naging battle cry ko talaga when I set up my own company also is that I have been dreaming that Philippines will be one of the manufacturing hub,

04:50which I believe right now is a battle cry of America rin.

04:53And also, they thought buying is the best solution.

04:56But everybody is now understanding manufacturing is the solution if we want to grow up.

05:03Siya, nandung doon ni manpower na magtatrabaho, and you produce parts.

05:07Kasi if you just keep on buying, then people don't sell to you, then you cannot do anything about it na.

05:13Yeah. So, the reason why we were able to partner with Angie, sabi ko, if you buy, if you sell the machine, somebody has to buy it, right?

05:22Correct, correct.

05:23So, we come up with a holistic na idea.

05:27So, kung nagbebenta ka, tapos yung manufacturers, katabi mo na rin, baka doon palang nagkakabentahan na tayo.

05:34So, the manufacturers, our exhibition, PSME actually means Philippines Subcontractor and Manufacturers Exhibition.

05:44So, kami yung supposed to be bumibili ng mga machines na sinoshowcase ng IMTAP.

05:51So, sabi ko, we put them together.

05:53Number one, we have to get more, we have to let people in the Philippines know first that there's a manufacturing company in the Philippines

06:01na pwede rin natin puntahan.

06:02Hindi lang naman, lahat kailang imported natin.

06:04So, that's our, really, our battle cry namin na bakit, kaya nga, before nagkaroon ng issue,

06:10and when we talk about our, ang tawag natin doon, yung tagline namin, it's called Make in the Philippines.

06:18So, akala nung una namin, launch ng PSME, it's wrong spelling, Make in the Philippines.

06:24Make, M-A-K-E.

06:27Oo, gawa.

06:28Oo.

06:28But hindi, mate.

06:29Sabi ko, siyempre, manufacturing is gagawin pa lang.

06:32So, that's why, at least, it's caught the attention din, parang famous secret din yun.

06:37So, it caught the attention of people that they talk about it.

06:40Eh, wrong spelling, then we have to explain about it.

06:43And luckily, I think now we also heard that our DTI is also coming out with a Make it in the Philippines naman.

06:49So, they make it a little bit longer na Make it in the Philippines.

06:52Yes, definitely, you, hindi pwede made na, tapos na.

06:56No, this manufacturing is, it is a continuous na battle cry natin.

07:01We want to make parts in the Philippines.

07:03We just don't want to rely on buying.

07:08Of course, marami tayong OFW, we used to, nagtatrabaho tayo sa malayo, just to feed our family, iiwanan natin.

07:17If we come with a good manufacturing hub dito sa Pilipinas, maybe people, our family doesn't have to go out of the Philippines to work.

07:25But dito pala, marami na oportunidad.

07:27So, yun ang ginawa ninyo ngayon.

07:32See, how did you ever, you know, okay, you fine-tune everything, you want to be different.

07:37Kasi, diba, sa mga exhibit, Angie, parating mga nak-exhibit, kala nila, ano ba ito, buy and sell.

07:43Pero you introduced something innovative, Angie.

07:46Ano yung, yun ang ginawa mong, ginawa ninyong dalawa na parang makaka-attract ata ito ng maraming tao.

07:53Oh, not only from the Philippines, I guess, diba, Angie?

07:56Yes, we actually have highlights sa event.

07:59Like, we have the free technical seminars that everyone could join.

08:04It's free.

08:05These are for the technical people because it's also one way for us to increase more technical people in the Philippines.

08:14So, if there are a lot of technical people, there will also be a lot of, you know, manpower that this manufacturer can hire naman po.

08:25So, it's actually a good give and take between PSMX and IMTAP po.

08:31So, I believe this one is one of the highlights that everyone should basically attend and take the opportunity.

08:41Kasi, for the seminars to be organized, I mean, it's going to be around, what, 15 to 20 seminars for the 30-day event.

08:49So, we have, of course, magkasabay na dalawang seminar yan that they can choose.

08:56So, marami silang pwedeng pagpili ang seminar that they could attend.

09:00This is, for IMTAP, it's also involved with the plastics.

09:06We also have the sheet metals, we have the machine tools, we have the welding, hardware, robotics.

09:15So, everything that, everything na sabi nating high-end or high-tech machines, computerized machine, they can see there naman po.

09:27So, for PSMX naman, it's going to be a different one because these are manufacturers which involves different industries naman which is motorcycle, automotive, electronics.

09:41We have the boat and vessels and, of course, the aerospace.

09:46Yun naman po.

09:47So, parang ano, parang it's all under one roof na parang, ilang araw ba ito?

09:53From 8 to May 8 to?

09:5610 po.

09:5710.

09:57Pero parang, parang magbitin, you know?

10:00Like, for example, di ba, Dennis, pag kung ako a-attend, no?

10:03Yung sabi mo, Angie, 20 seminars soon.

10:07Anong oras ba kayo magbubukas?

10:09So, we will be open at 10 o'clock po until 6 p.m.

10:12O, birmo, 10 o'clock up to 6, no, Dennis?

10:14Parang, yung bang, what, ano ba mga tip na, kasi minsan ako ganyan, no?

10:20Pag na-attend ako ng seminar, parang, parang pagod na pagod ka na, na-stuck ka na doon sa pinuntahan mo,

10:26o, hindi mo makover.

10:27Ano ba mga sikreto dyan, Dennis, mga Angie?

10:30Parang naman yung mga ating viewers, eh, malubos-lubosan yung pagkaka, yung exhibit.

10:35Kasi this is only what?

10:36So, how often do you hold this exhibit?

10:40Every other year po.

10:42O, birmo, every other year, eh, 2 years old na ako by the time, di ba?

10:46Tatandaan na tayo niyan, di ba?

10:48So, ano ba mga tips, Dennis?

10:49Ah, kayo, mga veterano kayo dyan.

10:51Ano ba yung mga tips na, or yung mga maling ginagawaan na mga nagpupunta sa show?

10:57Yan.

10:57Ano yung mga dapat hindi gawin?

10:59Ano ang tingin mo?

11:02Angie, matagal ka na sa events.

11:04Ayan, veterano na kayo, ha?

11:05Dennis, laging ginagawaan sa international event yan.

11:09Oo, yan, yan.

11:10I'm sure, Dennis, ikaw ay talagang, ano, no?

11:13Talagang famous na secret, no?

11:16So, ano ba talaga mga tips na dapat gawin na mga,

11:20number one, exhibitor?

11:23Number two, yung mga pupunta sa exhibit, yan.

11:27Okay, um, just for the experience lang, ano,

11:30our exhibition right now,

11:32luckily, ang considered natin diyan ay maliit.

11:35When you go to Japan, we're talking about maybe a hundred times bigger than the show.

11:38So, talagang, you have to plan for it.

11:41So, sa atin naman, um, as long as they know already sino pupunta,

11:45kasi may mga nakasulat naman dun, sino mga exhibitor,

11:48what are the machines na kailangan nila,

11:50normally, alam na nila sino mga gusto nila mapuntahan.

11:53That's one.

11:54Number two, on the sideline naman,

11:56meron ka pang nagpupunta dun.

11:58You walk around, you see other things na binibenta dun,

12:01may makikita ka biglaan,

12:03out of na minsan,

12:05oh, meron pala rin dito.

12:06So, that's the way they want it to be.

12:08Sa ibang bansa kasi, talagang,

12:11yung di mo mapupunta lahat,

12:12even for three or four days,

12:13binabalik-balikan namin yan, ano?

12:15So, doon talaga,

12:16naka-ready na kami sino gusto namin makausap,

12:19sino gusto namin makunta,

12:20meron na kaming naka-ready.

12:22So, dito sa Pilipinas,

12:24I would say,

12:25one day, as long as maaga ka pumunta,

12:28talk with everybody,

12:30then, I think one day will be enough.

12:32Pero kung kinapos ka,

12:33meron ka lang talaga ng gustong bilhin,

12:35you can easily go back on the second day.

12:38Okay.

12:39Pero, so that means, Dennis,

12:40para bang gumawa ka muna na listahan,

12:43no,

12:43ng mga target mong gustong primary na gustong mong kausapin,

12:47pangalawa,

12:49yun na muna puntahan mo,

12:50wag ka muna mag-i...

12:51or is it,

12:52iikot ka muna,

12:53o diretso ka na sa dapat mo pupuntahan?

12:56Yung dapat mo pupuntahan,

12:58normally,

12:58alam mo na rin pag-uusapan.

13:00So, if you come in early,

13:02then, normally,

13:03you go around first.

13:04Ah, sige,

13:04babalikan ko ito.

13:05Ito, hindi.

13:06Kasi baka mamaya,

13:07may snuck ka na sa isa,

13:08doon sa gusto mong puntahan,

13:10then,

13:10hindi ka na makakaiut.

13:11So, it depends on what time you have.

13:13So, kung sinabi mo na lang,

13:15basta ito yung importante,

13:17may bibili na o ganito,

13:18I have three customers to...

13:19ah, suppliers to talk to,

13:21you can fix with that one.

13:23So, Angie,

13:24papano naman yung mga seminars?

13:25Sabi mo,

13:2520 yun, eh.

13:26Birmo,

13:27tatlong araw lang kayo.

13:28Eh,

13:29papano naman ako magpo-program ng aking...

13:31May mga nakikita kasi ko,

13:33na patalon-talon,

13:33e-enter,

13:34papasok,

13:35uupo,

13:36after five minutes,

13:37aalis na.

13:38Yung bang,

13:39para mang sa akin,

13:39walang ano,

13:40walang effect, no?

13:41So, and the organizers kayo,

13:44ah,

13:44you're taking time to organize all these seminars.

13:47Hindi naman to,

13:48ah,

13:49hindi naman to run of the mill, no?

13:51These are expertise, no?

13:53Or experts talking.

13:55So,

13:55ano mga tip mo ba dyan sa mga dapat mag-attend?

13:57Ano mga gagawin?

13:59Actually po, ah,

14:00beforehand naman,

14:02we are publishing the list of seminars,

14:05and disseminate it to all the group, no?

14:09Um,

14:09sa Facebook,

14:11sa social media.

14:12So,

14:13and then of course,

14:14kasi this,

14:15this,

14:15um,

14:15uh,

14:16industry is,

14:17uh,

14:29um,

14:29actually,

14:29we're lucky enough that we have the,

14:31we have PESA,

14:33the Filipino Migzone Authority,

14:35who's basically,

14:36um,

14:36in cooperating with us,

14:39and,

14:39um,

14:39our partner also in PSMX,

14:41and,

14:42um,

14:43they're bringing in the manufacturers also in the show.

14:47Uh,

14:47we will take a booth also.

14:49And of course,

14:50we are also very lucky that DTI,

14:53uh,

14:54is also helping us in attracting naman po international,

14:58um,

14:59uh,

15:00manufacturers for PSMX naman.

15:03So,

15:03we,

15:04we have,

15:05um,

15:06prepared a lot of things for everyone,

15:09including the,

15:113D printing,

15:13isa sa mga highlights namin.

15:15Oo nga,

15:15no,

15:16yung 3D,

15:18uh,

15:18para bang,

15:18para bang ngayon lang bag,

15:20parang bago ngayon,

15:21ngayon lang ba nag,

15:25di ba,

15:25Dennis,

15:25sa mga ibang shows,

15:26no?

15:27Yung mga 3D na yan?

15:30Yes.

15:31Oo,

15:31yeah.

15:31Kasi nag-improve na,

15:32dati plastics lang,

15:34ngayon,

15:34papunta na kayo sa bagal,

15:35uh,

15:36maraming mga changes na in the technologies.

15:38So,

15:38it's really a lot of new technologies na makikita ninyo.

15:42People are,

15:43uh,

15:43our exhibitor will be bringing mga state-of-the-art machines.

15:47So,

15:47it's nice for people to go there,

15:49para ma,

15:50ah,

15:50meron pa na mga ganito ngayon.

15:52Ano bang,

15:52mahawakan nila,

15:53makikita nila yung mga bagong latest,

15:56uh,

15:56technology na available.

15:59Pero nakaka,

16:00maganda,

16:01no?

16:01Because we're,

16:02sa Filipinas,

16:02we're now being considered as part of a destination,

16:06no?

16:06Because,

16:06like,

16:07what you're doing,

16:08aba eh,

16:09hindi naman to baliwala,

16:10I'm sure the whole Asian countries natin,

16:14eh,

16:14and neighbors will be visiting as well,

16:16no?

16:17So,

16:17uh,

16:17and we have also the facilities,

16:19right?

16:19And Angie,

16:20I think we're now ready for our international convention na mga para,

16:25mga,

16:26you know,

16:26parameters,

16:27right?

16:27We're,

16:28we're at par.

16:29Uh,

16:30di ba?

16:31Actually,

16:31yes po.

16:32Um,

16:32kung tutusin,

16:33there are a lot of,

16:34um,

16:34exhibitions right now that,

16:36um,

16:36in an international standard.

16:39So,

16:39yeah.

16:40And just imagine this,

16:41um,

16:42for example,

16:42like these exhibitors of ours,

16:44they are really preparing,

16:46they are doing their,

16:47their efforts just to bring in the new technologies,

16:50and in different countries.

16:54So,

16:55you can see also fiber laser,

16:57sheet metal,

16:58press brake.

17:00So,

17:00yun po.

17:01Pati robotic,

17:02na-mention mo robotic.

17:03Yes,

17:03robotic.

17:04Tell me more about robotic,

17:06kasi iba yun,

17:07ang nasa isip ko yung robotic na AI,

17:09eh,

17:09parang ganun ba yun,

17:10Dennis?

17:12Tama ba yun?

17:13Tama yun?

17:13Tama yung mga may maglalakad na robots,

17:15ganun ba ang isa sa mga attraction ng ating,

17:18ano?

17:18Meron na kaming mga nailalagay,

17:21but I think the robotic pa lang sa area of manufacturing natin,

17:24may mga kamay na unload,

17:26nag-unload,

17:27before meron na rin nagdadala,

17:28yung mga parang nakita nyo dati sa Jollibee,

17:31yung nagdadala na ng pagkain,

17:33yung mga...

17:33Oo, nakita ko.

17:34Will that be,

17:35will that be part of the show?

17:37Will there be an exhibitor doing that?

17:40Kasi lahat nagtatanong, eh,

17:41paano ginawa ng Jollibee yun?

17:43I mean,

17:44words,

17:44yung take out, no?

17:46Tapos biglang merong dumaratin,

17:48na lang.

17:49Yeah, Angie?

17:50Actually,

17:51sa ngayon,

17:52hindi ko po ma-identify.

17:54However,

17:55they expect that there will be robotic welding

17:58na mati-display doon,

18:01which is basically doing the welding

18:02without human...

18:05sa binating...

18:07robotic arm na siya,

18:07basically.

18:08Using robotic arm.

18:09Yes.

18:10Robotic arm.

18:12So, fantastic po.

18:13Alam mo,

18:14nakakainggan nyo.

18:15Alam mo,

18:15para ko nga,

18:16sabi ko nga sa mga kaibigan ko,

18:19alam mo,

18:19meron ako interview,

18:20pero dapat umattend kayo

18:21kasi whether you're not in the manufacturing,

18:25but see the technology at work,

18:27di ba?

18:27Para bang,

18:28so advanced, no?

18:30Na para bang,

18:31hindi na akalain natin na,

18:33oh,

18:33sa ibang,

18:34sa YouTube lang natin nakikita,

18:36but it's really before our eyes,

18:38di ba?

18:39So,

18:39yun ang ano doon.

18:40But,

18:40tell me,

18:41kung ako ang exhibitor pala,

18:43meron pang tip.

18:44Ano ba dapat ang mga naintindihan

18:46ng mga exhibitor?

18:47Kasi minsan may mga exhibits,

18:49no?

18:50Minsan,

18:50yung mga nagmama na exhibit,

18:52hindi rin na alam,

18:53ma-explain yung product.

18:55Or they're just there to hand out flyers.

18:57Uso pa ba yung mga flyers?

18:59May?

19:00Ano?

19:01Angie?

19:02Uso pa ba yung mga nagbibigay ng mga flyers?

19:04Meron pa naman din, sir.

19:06Meron pa rin naman.

19:08Kasi yung kagaya ng nakikita ko sa likod mo,

19:11QR na lang yan,

19:12di ba?

19:12Para bang,

19:13meron akong inattend sa Amerika na,

19:16panay QR na lang,

19:17QR,

19:17at saka yung mga handouts,

19:19they just ship it,

19:21no?

19:21Or they just send it by email.

19:23Less paper.

19:25Di ba?

19:25Ganun na ba ang nangyayari sa trend ng mga exhibits ngayon?

19:29Si Sir Dennis is a suma-exhibitor din.

19:32Ah, okay.

19:33Sige.

19:33Paano ka nag-train ng mga tao mo

19:35to man the exhibit?

19:36Yan, yan.

19:37Yan importante.

19:38Kasi nakakapagod mag-exhibit, no?

19:40Dennis, I'm sure

19:41sanay na-sanay na kayo,

19:43yung mga legs ninyo,

19:44standing ilang oras,

19:45the same time talking,

19:47di ba?

19:49Yes.

19:49Anyway,

19:50I used to be exhibiting also,

19:53joining di sa IMTOP dati.

19:55Kasi I used to work with a company called Mesk.

19:58Mga machine tools nilang binibenta ko,

19:59which I joined.

20:00That's why where I,

20:01nakilala ko si Angie doon.

20:04So,

20:04what people first expect muna,

20:06by the way,

20:07hindi lang brochure.

20:07They expect machines really running.

20:10Sometimes,

20:11they also set it up,

20:12nag-produce na rin ng parts.

20:14So, talaga,

20:14kaya gusto nila pumunta sa mga exhibition.

20:16They will see it,

20:17they will touch it,

20:18they will see how the machine is running.

20:19That's one.

20:20Number two,

20:22people should be well-trained.

20:24Lalo na sa machine tools,

20:26these people should be well-trained.

20:27Sa site ko naman,

20:28where,

20:28how we make the parts,

20:30we should be there.

20:31We should tell the people

20:32how we make those parts.

20:33Kasi ang importante doon,

20:34we will showcase our parts.

20:35So,

20:37yung mga alam nila,

20:38nagpapagawa ng piyesa,

20:39ah,

20:40pwede pala magpagawa sa Pilipinas.

20:42You might be surprised,

20:43ah.

20:43Yes.

20:43The 90 to 95%

20:45do not know that

20:46Philippine can make those parts.

20:48You know,

20:4995,

20:5090 to 95% din of my client

20:52is in UK,

20:54is in Europe,

20:55is in America.

20:56Imagine mo,

20:57I have to go all the way,

20:58pagpalayo.

20:59Pero yung marami sa Pilipinas,

21:00they don't consider us

21:02or want to buy from us.

21:04So,

21:04yun,

21:04kaya nga nga,

21:05yung PSMEX,

21:06now with the help of PESA,

21:08marami kasi,

21:08they don't know.

21:10Ah,

21:10pwede pala sa Pilipinas

21:11because,

21:12ah,

21:13at least right now

21:14what's happening with the world,

21:16nakakaroon na ng realignment,

21:17so they,

21:18they are starting to

21:19consider us.

21:20We have a number of meetings already

21:22with a number of aerospace company,

21:24a number of Japanese company,

21:26nag,

21:26nag, ano na kasi sila,

21:28nag-check na sila.

21:29Meron pala sa Pilipinas.

21:30Can you do this?

21:31Can you do that?

21:32Ngayon lang sila na aware.

21:33Meron pala.

21:34Kami naman,

21:35wala tayong magagawa.

21:36They want to buy

21:37sa imported,

21:38feeling nila,

21:39mas makatipid,

21:40but of course,

21:41kasi sila lang nakatipid

21:42because of

21:43the free trade agreement.

21:45But now,

21:46sabi ko,

21:47even with the free trade,

21:48we're selling it

21:49all the way.

21:50Aeroplano pa,

21:51nag, ano,

21:52kaya namin labanan yung presyo

21:53sa ibang bansa.

21:54Bakit ito kaya sa Pilipinas,

21:56hindi pa muna kami

21:57nagkoconsider,

21:58itong PSMEX

21:59is to bring first

22:00mga Pilipinos

22:01to buy,

22:02kaya holistic approach

22:03muna eh.

22:04Magbebenda kata sa Pilipinas.

22:06Yung mga gumagawa,

22:07mga Pilipino na company

22:08na gumagawa na sa Pilipinas,

22:10yung muna natin

22:10dapat i-ano,

22:11marami hindi pa kasi

22:12nakakalam.

22:13So,

22:13with PESA joining us,

22:15that would be nice.

22:16Tsaka Dennis,

22:16diba,

22:17and Angie,
