The Quezon-Lucena Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in cooperation with the Community Business Development Center and Fundacion Santiago Inc. held its annual South Lucena Area Business (SOLAB’06) Conference and Trade Faire at SM City Lucena and Queen Margarette Hotel last July 20-23, 2006 at Lucena City.

PUP Lopez Branch was invited to participate in the annual major event and the JMAers actively responded to that invitation.

The Junior BBA Students learned more about the topics discussed such as: Investment guide: Sustainable Coffee Production given by Dr. Jose Reaño of Nestle Philippines, Laboratory Analysis for processed food products including the nutrition facts, microbial analysis, shelf-life and other laboratory analysis given by Ms. Sandra Bucao of Intertek Labtek and Business as Opportunities by Medardo M. Noscal of Fundacion Santiago Inc. and CBDC-Quezon.

The JMAers also learned from the interaction with the businessmen coming from CALABARZON, MIMAROPA and Bicol Provinces. Through their sharing of business opportunities, several expressed their interest on livelihood trainings, food cooking, franchise opportunity, information and communication technology and others.

This was an opportunity for the PUP – BBA Students to familiarize themselves with possible business interest, livelihood skills and e-commerce trends.
