review the guidelines and criteria in choosing Outstanding
Filipino Retailers. The Meeting was held at the Seven Corners
Restaurant of Crowne Plaza on 14 Sept.’16. The PRA Board
brought in the active members of the PRA and PAGASA’s
STC was honored to have been invited for inputs to this
upcoming event which is the most prestigious for the retail
industry. Since 1996, this event has been a joint undertaking
together with the DTI. In view of the changing retail landscape
and with the active engagement of e-tailing and m-commerce,
the Committee ends this Meeting with more queries than
answers. As such, some cleaning and streamlining of the various
categories of retailing have to be considered before the
Committee is once more called to order.
