In their public seminars, the DTI and its partner organisations offer information concerning market opportunities for Philippines-based firms in the country’s FTA partner countries, step-by-step discussion on tariff reductions, rules, and custom procedures, among others. Seminars also include an ‘FTA Clinic’ which allows individual representative of firms to seek more in-depth guidance from relevant officials on how to make more effective use of the country’s FTA initiatives. The DBFTA’s public outreach program, which has been implemented nearly across the country, had reached 11,169 private sector stakeholders in 2012 alone, and another 1,746 stakeholders in the first quarter of 2013 (BETP-DTI 2013a; 2013b).19 The result of such an endeavor speaks for itself (Chandra, 2013). Although the Philippines was already rated the highest user of FTAs among AMS by the ASEAN Secretariat in 2010, many more Philippine-based firms are now using FTAs.
