 An important facet of the 2015 Deployment of Plans and Activities is leveraging information to update the MIRDC personnel on how new competencies are well-thought-out to further enhance the performance of the agency. Asec. Robert O. Dizon shared with the employees the outputs of the recently concluded Strategic Planning, particularly the vision, mission, strategic objectives/thrusts and core values that have been revised parallel to the goal of the MIRDC to be more relevant to a competitive M&E industries. The agency’s new mission and vision, duly approved by the Governing Council, are set to get off to a flying start as these are attuned not only to the strengths and weaknesses, but also to the programs and outcomes of the agency.

In his message, he shared his observations from his recent visit to Iran and Israel where he witnessed how the government supports technology starting from the development of ideas up to prototyping. In connection to this, he relayed the idea that the MIRDC holds one of the most important tasks when it comes to supporting advancement of technology. His message left everybody inspired and motivated to focus on MIRDC’s function of supporting, empowering and assisting innovations.

  The deployment had also been a channel to a more intensified interest especially in the human resources as it sparked off questions from the employees as soon as the floor was opened for discussion. Issues and concerns were raised but were given appropriate response by the Top Management.  At the end of the assembly, Asec. Dizon’s message marked a point that reflects a push among employees. He stated that being informed about the agency’s plans and projects means that employees will essentially know the significance of every task that are assigned to them and could make them proud. Being proud of one’s task, according to Asec. Dizon, is the key to better performance.

 The Metals Industry Research and Development Center (MIRDC) of the Department of Science and Technology had its new certifying body TUV Rheinland Philippines, Inc. for undergoing ISO recertification on February 27, 2015. This effort of the Center to get serious in the implementation of Quality Environmental and Management System (QEMS) assures the customers that the products and services MIRDC produces met their requirements. The MIRDC top management monitors the non-conformities in implementing and sustaining the effectiveness of its QEMS.

       The TUV auditors are Mr. Rolando Remitar, Mr. John Fausto Faustorilla, Ms. Rosehleen Anjela Buenavista and Ms. Xylene Tagorio led by Ms. Lucia Lopez. The scope of the audit includes: provision of services on research and development of equipment, products, processes and materials; industrial training, technical consultancy, technology transfer, and technical information dissemination; machining, heat treatment, casting, welding, and fabrication of metal products.

       QEMS key personnel has great challenges at MIRDC because of the implementation of various projects which requires more productivity at the same time that the QEMS calls for quality improvement as required by the ISO 9001 standards, 2008 version.

     MIRDC’s continuing registration to ISO 9001: 2008 is a proof of the Center’s commitment to realize its vision to be a center of excellence in science, technology and innovation for a globally-competitive metals, engineering and allied industries by 2025. With the dynamic leadership of the MIRDC managers, and the core values such as Professionalism, Responsiveness, Integrity, Dynamism and Excellence (PRIDE) deeply imbibed in its workforce, the Center continuously maintains a QEMS that is anchored on its commitment to provide the highest level of satisfaction to both its internal and external customers.

     MIRDC’s previous certifying body is TUV - SUD.

Symbolism

A pearl buried inside a tightly-shut shell is practically worthless. Government information is a pearl, meant to be shared with the public in order to maximize its inherent value.

The Transparency Seal, depicted by a pearl shining out of an open shell, is a symbol of a policy shift towards openness in access to government information. On the one hand, it hopes to inspire Filipinos in the civil service to be more open to citizen engagement; on the other, to invite the Filipino citizenry to exercise their right to participate in governance.

This initiative is envisioned as a step in the right direction towards solidifying the position of the Philippines as the Pearl of the Orient – a shining example for democratic virtue in the region.
