I. INTRODUCTION

A public enterprise is a corporate that is administered by the state or national

government and is autonomous or semi-autonomous. These corporations were established
to assist citizens of the state in their economic and industrial endeavors. The primary goal
of establishing a public enterprise is to serve the general public. Businesses can provide
critical goods and services at competitive prices while simultaneously growing the
economy. A public enterprise intends to facilitate individuals from all aspects of life in
the community. The expansion of the power of government administration inspired the
creation of public enterprises. The provision of public enterprises was formed as a result
of the establishment of the welfare state concept after World war II, and the expanding
development initiatives conducted by governments around the world.

In this paper, we will be focusing on the Public Enterprises of a certain LGU in

the Philippines, specifically Paniqui. Discovering their operations, such as the guidelines
or regulations, allocated funds, and income of the enterprises, and assess if there are
changes within those enterprises over the years and if it is in lined with the municipality’s
vision and mission. Uncover the challenges encountered by the enterprise and the
municipality. Lastly, perceive the recommendations of the management of enterprises as
well as the individuals that run this paper.

HISTORY OF PANIQUI

The foundation of Paniqui is when the Pangasinan provincial government

dispatched a group of men south of Bayambang, Pangasinan to preach the Christian faith
may be directly attributed to 1712. Raymundo and Manuel Paragas of Dagupan prompted
the pioneering team that created the Local Government in a Sitio called "manggang
marikit" which means (mango of an unmarried woman), that is now part of Guimba,
Nueva Ecija. Remarkably, there are a large number of mammals in the area that Ilocanos
refer to as "pampaniki," which is from this term that the name Paniqui was derived.
During the early part of 1720, an insurgency led by Caragay compelled the Local
Government in "manggang marikit" to leave the town and flee to Acocolao, a lowland
two kilometers west of the existing Poblacion. Sultan Ali Mudin which is the first Moro
in the Philippines was baptized and converted to Christianity in 1750 that made the town
a historical site. Paniqui was a large town at the time, covering a large territory. Wherein,
Cuyapo, Gerona, Camiling, Ramos, Moncada, and Anao was once part of Paniqui.

Spanish persecution and despotism lasted from 1750 to 1896. Insurrectos and
criminals emerged among the populace who conducted occasional attacks on the
Colonizers as a result of the insurrectos and bandits. Plague and measles epidemics were
accented by torrents and tropical storms during these attacks on the Spaniards who
arrived at the territories bearing the Sword and the Cross. A group of Paniqui patriotism,
however, on January 12, 1896, united by a sense of solidarity, selfless dedication to
independence, and pushed on by Spanish merciless tyranny, formed a legitimate part of
the Katipunan, which is a far shout from the outlaws who used to trouble the Spaniards.
Those fearless men carried out daring actions that have gone unwritten in Katipunan
history, one of the most famous of which was the ambuscade of Spanish soldiers on the
roadway to Anao, slaying a large number of them. That event served as a premonition of
the end of the Spanish control of Paniqui. With the arrival of the Americans, the nearly
noble and mysterious nature of the Spanish colonizers gave way to a fortunate shift to a
constitutional democracy under American supervision.

The Japanese at Paniqui were up against such an enemy who was powerful in his
passion and persistent in his retribution. The Guerilla force led by Col. Maristela aided by
local troops of the Philippine Commonwealth Army combat forces, devoted their
unwavering loyalty to the beloved ideologies of their ancestral homeland Philippines, by
designing and constructing a people's security perimeter right under the Japanese noses.
The Paniqui landmarks, such as the sugar center, government center, school system
facilities, and almost all of the modest dwelling units, were maintained by the Guerilla
group. On May 8, 1945, the Guerilla insurgents decimated two fleets of the Japanese
army at Sta. Ines, executing 52 Japanese sons. Local Filipino soldiers from the Philippine
Commonwealth Army and Philippine Constabulary units returned to help insurgents
recover the town during the battle.

Today, the people of Paniqui, bonded according to the same conviction that
brought them together during some of history's most difficult circumstances, are fighting
together once more to make their hometown the innovative, respectable, and prosperous
municipality it is.

VISION

The Municipality of Paniqui envisions as the center for trade, commerce, and
industry, education, and agro-tourism in Northern Tarlac inhabited by God-fearing,
healthy, self-reliant, and well-disciplined citizenry who lived in a peaceful, environment-
friendly, and disaster-resilient community and globally competitive economy governed
by reliable and responsible leadership.

MISSION

To attain the above vision, the basic services must be available to a majority of
the people of Paniqui.

PUBLIC ENTERPRISES IN PANIQUI

The Municipality of Paniqui consists of 3 public enterprises namely;

public market, slaughterhouse and public cemetery.

Public Cemetery was established for the general community and the public cemetery
consist of geat number of burial sites sold and for sale for the general community. In
1920s, a public cemetery districts were formed under the Health and Safety Code to
create and produce a budget friendly of burial to the local residents.

Slaughterhouse is a building or facility for animals where they killed them to produce
meat.

Public Market is composed of small group of independent businesses and every stall is
owner-operated and the vendors are paying every month or a day. The Paniqui public
market was created for public purpose and it composed of many vendors that sells food,
fresh meat, fish and other goods or products.

III. CONCLUSION
Problems Encountered

Several issues were raised by the office during the researchers' interview in
Paniqui, but the problems that they would really want to resolve as soon as possible are
illegal vendors, overlapping, slaughterhouse accreditation to NMIS, and double dead
meat products.

After addressing the issues and determining their severity, the Municipality of
Paniqui has already begun to address some of the issues mentioned above, such as their
problem with illegal vendors and the serious problem they faced when their public
market caught fire. The municipality is slowly recovering from this calamity. They
believe that improving the Paniqui Public Market is the best solution to the people of
Paniqui's ongoing practice of illegal vending. Although they recognize that this is a
difficult problem to solve, the improvement of the public market will provide people with
a proper place to sell, obtain proper permits, and to be placed in a secure and clean area.

The illegal vendors are a serious problem that needs to be addressed, but the
municipality is facing a more serious issue with the production of double-dead meat in
Paniqui, which they believe is due to the municipality's lack of accreditation with NMIS,
or the National Meat Inspection Service. The National Meat Inspection Service is a
government regulatory agency tasked by law with enforcing meat inspection and hygiene
policies, programs, guidelines, rules, and regulations to ensure that meat is safe from
harvest to consumption. NMIS is responsible for developing, promulgating, and
enforcing laws, policies, programs, and projects that govern the post-harvest movement
of meat in order to protect consumers' interests and welfare while also promoting the
growth of the livestock and meat industries. The accreditation aims to prevent animal
diseases, food-borne microorganisms, and other contaminants from entering the country
or source by preventing the importation of meat and meat products from unaccredited
regions or sources.

The municipality's problem with double dead meat, or botcha, is an urgent call for
them to act quickly in accrediting their slaughterhouses, primarily because meat
inspectors assigned to NMIS accredited slaughterhouse and poultry dressing plants issue
certificates certifying that the meat and meat products were inspected during slaughter,
allowing the Paniqui LGU office to be confident that the meat they are allowing the
public to consume has been tested, inspected, and certified.

The office of the municipality of Paniqui is required to submit the following

Requirements:

 Blueprint of Engineering Plan

 Meat Plan and Cold Storage Warehouse
 Sketch of Operational Flow
 List of Equipment’s and Rated Capacity
  Updated pictures of the plant showing the major flow of operation, facilities and
equipment. Hygiene and Sanitation Program/GMP Program
 HACCP Plan/ HACCP Certification
 List of Products with corresponding process flow (for Meat Processing Plant)
 Label Products
 Evaluation Report/ Accomplished Criteria for Accreditation
 Photocopy of Meat Establishment Accreditation Certificate

The Paniqui LGU unit continues to strive for the best service possible for the
people, and the actions they are taking to solve all of their problems show that they are
aware of the municipality's needs for improvement. From the immediate renovation and
rehabilitation of their public market in order to re-locate illegal vendors around the
municipality oval, to the ongoing action they are taking to accredit their slaughterhouse in
order to prevent the production of double-dead meat in Paniqui, they are doing it all. The
researchers can see the dedication and effort that government officials are putting forth.
Not only the people who work behind the scenes, but especially the people of Paniqui,
want to see and feel the improvements.

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendations of the Management of the Enterprises

The Researchers conduct an interview on some officials in every office (Treasury

Office, Budget Office, Engineering Office and Sangguniang Bayan) of the Municipality.
Here are some of the recommendations of the management:

1. Actively support the establishment of a Material Recovery Facility (MRF)

The Municipality must actively support the establishment of a Material Recovery

Facility (MRF) to meet the issues that the public market has in terms of solid waste
management. In accordance with the existing Municipal Ordinance 2002-08, which
adopts Republic Act 9003, also known as the "Ecological Solid Waste Management Act
of 2000," to properly implement segregation facilitation, the production of bio - based
compost and charcoals, as well as raw household equipment and structural materials from
shredded plastic.

2. Work on the accreditation of their slaughterhouse to the NMIS

The local government unit of Paniqui that their office should work on the
accreditation of their slaughterhouse to the NMIS to ensure the quality and the
municipality’s compliance to national standards on hygiene and sanitation. In this way,
they would lessen the produce of double dead meat though out the municipality. In
ensuring this, the quality of their offered services to the people of Paniqui will be the at
its best. Problems like the produce of double dead meat will be a great risk not just to the
performance of the municipality but will greatly affect the health of the people. As the
highest governing body of the municipality, the purpose of having the LGU is to ensure
the protection of the people they are governing. And to ensure this, the management
proposed that the LGU of Paniqui to move fast in the LGU slaughterhouse accreditation
to NMIS.

3. Realigning of vendor fee

On the public market, the increasing number of illegal and ambulant vendor. In
order to make this in good terms is to have a system where the rent fee for the vendors
are in line with the monthly income of them. In this situation, it practices equity among
low income vendors to the high income. If this will be implemented, it will decrease the
number of illegal and ambulant vendors that are occupying the lanes and spaces
throughout the market and improve the walkway of the customers.

Recommendations of Students

With all the matters gathered by the researchers on the enterprises, it was
carefully deliberated the proposal or suggestions of students on the Public Enterprises to
ensure the high standard and good quality of services. Here are some recommendations of
the researchers:

1. More stringent in implementing Municipal Solid Wastes Rules of 2000

The Paniqui public market has suffered losses from a fire, but the municipality
arises through a temporary public market at the oval which is sometimes suffered in
depth of water due to heavy rainfalls. In this case, public market encountering hurdle in
the waste disposal management because the garbage truck that is collecting waste is not
able to go inside the public market that leads to tons of garbage inside the market. So,
Researchers recommend to have more stringent in implementing solid waste management
having great sanctions and disciplinary actions to those vendors who will not follow the
said rules and regulations.

2. Establish a separate office for the Public Enterprises

The Municipality of Paniqui should have a separate office for their public enterprises. It
has come to the researchers' attention that the data regarding their municipality's public
enterprises is being passed to the Treasury Office, which has made it difficult for them to
respond to our questions about these various enterprises due to a lack of organization.
The Municipal Budget Officer manages the data for funding allocation separately.
Employees also have complaints about this type of system, claiming that if it continues,
public enterprises will receive less attention and proper planning than they should.

3. The immediate relocation of the vendors on the ovals

 Due to the aftermath of the fire 2 years ago the loss of property and some
investments really affects the municipality and also the vendors of Paniqui, Tarlac. The
researchers recommend the immediate relocation of the vendors at the oval and to have a
swift renovation and rehabilitation in the former site where the center of market was seen
not like at the relocation site where 1km away from the middle of the municipality. A
better placement of dry goods and wet products, drainage system rehabilitation and
affordable rent for the vendors that depends on their monthly income.

4. Rehabilitation of Public Cemetery

As we notice on the Public Cemetery of Paniqui, there are no proper entry and
exit for the people that is why a lot of children are climbing on the wall that can cause an
accident to them. We also interviewed some of the residents and they mentioned that
flooding is one of the problems on the public cemetery because it has low-land and there
is no sufficient drainage or way to absorb the water.

5. Re-design of stalls and implementation of seminars/webinars on the vendors

The Municipality of Paniqui should make a thorough clean-up of the public

market and transform it massively so there are no left-behind odors, clean paths for
customers, and an appropriate reorganization of stalls and stands to encourage clients not
discourage them. The vendors of the Municipality of Paniqui should be invited to a
seminar to improve their marketing skills, thereby promoting an awareness of sanitation
and cleanliness, and boosting their motivation to import products that will appeal to the
customers and the management and tenants will both benefit from this.
