[Title] => GTEB sees post-quota marts for RP garments
[Summary] => The expiration of the garments quota system this year will open up new opportunities for Philippine brand garments, according to Garments and Textiles Export Board (GTEB) executive director Serafin Juliano.
Juliano disclosed that Philippine garments brands such Bench, Penshoppe, Bayo, Kamiseta, Folded & Hung have been wanting to penetrate the US market.
Unfortunately, because of the quota regime system, they were not able to do so because they did not have the necessary quota allocation to access the US market.

[Title] => Garment exports continue to drop
[Summary] => Dollar earnings from garment exports amounted to $1.092 billion in the first five months of the year, down by 3.62 percent from $1.133 billion recorded in the same period last year.
Garments and Textile Export Board (GTEB) Exective Director Serafin Juliano said the continued decline has slowed down as a result of the expansion in May export figures which posted a growth of 2.78 percent compared to the May 2003 exports.
GTEB figures show that garments and textile sales amounted to $231 million in May this year compared to May 2003’s export of $224 million.

[Title] => RP joins call for WTO to defer phaseout of garment quotas
[Summary] => The Philippines joined 36 other signatory nations to the Istanbul Declaration (ID) that are asking the World Trade Organization (WTO) to put off for three years or until Dec. 31, 2007, the phaseout of the quota garments system because this will give undue advantage to emerging economic giant China.
The Confederation of Garments Exporters of the Philippines (CONGEP) yesterday became the 37th signatory to the US-led ID initiative seeking to extend the deadline for the removal of the quota garments system which lapses on Dec. 31, 2005.
