Congratulations to Galleon One Holdings for successfully launching
b2bpricenow.com, the Philippines' first e-trade site developed solely
to agricultural products, construction materials and energy.
Your pioneering initiative offers small and medium enterprises more
broad-based access to domestic and foreign markets. It gives them equal
opportunities vis-a-vis the big players in reaching these markets. Meanwhile,
it will also bring down costs for SMEs sourcing their inputs through the
electronic trading floor.
We are confident that strategic partners - Unisys Philippines for
technology, Gerry Geronimo Productions Inc. (Ating Alamin) for content
and the Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement (NGO) -
constitute a reliable back-up team to support your business-to-business
(b2b) venture.
As the prime government advocate of e-business in the Philippines, we are
gratified that b2bpricenow.com has promptly thrown in its hat to realize the
commercial benefits possible from the New Knowledge Economy.
