Davao City, Philippines – The RTWPB-XI held a Productivity Enhancement Program for a beneficiary of the Mindanao Productivity Project on 4 September 2025.

The program was for the Sta. Ana Fisherfolks Operators Association, a dynamic community-based association of 30 members engaged in tilapia production through fish cages. The association is also a beneficiary of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Integrated Livelihood Program Beneficiary.

The morning session was divided into two parts. First, Ms. Jessielee R. Bilog, RTWPB-XI trainer, introduced the basic concepts of Productivity, Stock Control, and Bookkeeping. This was followed by a rundown of the 7S of Good Housekeeping and Business Ethics, facilitated by fellow RTWPB-XI trainer Ms. Arlene L. Tuboro.

RTWPB-XI trainers Ms. Ethel Sigrid A. Burgos and Ms. Ivory Diane P. Genovia capped off the day by discussing ISTIV Values. The ISTIV Productivity Awareness Program (ISTIV-PAP) is a values-driven human resource intervention for quality and productivity improvement by developing five key attributes in employees: Industrious, Systematic, Time-Conscious, Innovative, and a Strong Value for Work.

This productivity enhancement program is one of the many projects of RTWPB-XI in fulfillment of the Mindanao Project Portfolio on Productivity Initiatives for workers and enterprises.
