Buglas Bamboo Institute gets Bamboo Equipment from DTI

As part of its Bamboo Development Program, the Dept of Trade and Industry yesterday turned over some P146,000 worth of machinery and tools to Buglas Bamboo Institute (BBI) in Maayong-tubig, Dauin. The machinery included rip saw, drill press, side press, electric sander and some power tools. Last November and December, BBI was also the recipient of skill trainings which included Safety in the Workplace, Basic Woodworking and Carpentry,  and Jig Making.

One of the components of the Bamboo Development Program is to supply the Dept of Education with bamboo desks, chairs and teachers tables so the grant will boost the capability of Buglas Bamboo to supply schools especially here in Negros Oriental using engineered bamboo.

After the turnover, a Memorandum of Agreement was signed between DTI and Buglas Bamboo and messages of support were given by  DTI 7 Regional Director Asteria  Caberte and Dr. Emigdio Omictin representing the DepEd City Schools Division Office. Buglas Bamboo or BBI is headed by the father and son team of Frans and Jobert  Koerkamp.
