In creating a culture of peace and addressing sustainable development challenges, UNESCO aims to cultivate the generation and application of scientific knowledge among its Member States. At UNACOM, we facilitate access to UNESCO’s international programmes in the sciences, such as the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme, and International Geoscience and Geoparks Programme (IGGP), among others.

Through this sector, the Commission aims to contribute to the following SDGs: 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities, 13 - Climate Action, 14 - Life Below Water, and 15 - Life On Land. With the overarching vision of the 2023-2028 Philippine Development Plan (PDP), UNACOM targets grassroots-inspired cultural heritage and biodiversity protection and conservation, as well as multi-stakeholder partnerships for SDGs promotion.

  • Fish import service fee set at ₱500/ton
    Arcalas, Jasper Emmanuel Y. (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2021-09-13)
    The government is requiring traders to pay a service fee of P500 for every metric ton (MT) of fish they will import under the government’s small pelagic fish importation program, based on the supplemental guidelines issued by the Department of Agriculture (DA). This means that the government will earn as much as P30 million under the program, which allows eligible and accredited traders to bring in 60,000 MT of fish to beef up domestic supply. The DA has also required importers to ship their allocated volume from the country of origin within 20 days after receiving the sanitary and phytosanitary import clearance (SPS-IC) for their shipments.
