DTI-Calabazon distributes starter kids
The unwavering support of DTI to Magallanes is very much appreciated. We hope that our beneficiaries will make use of the starter kits well and eventually grow their businesses
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in charge of Region 4-A or the CALABARZON provinces distributed starter kits for sari-sari store, carinderia, food manufacturing equipment, salon and barbershop, laundry, baking, tailoring and printing supplies beneficiaries in Amadeo and in Magallanes, Cavite.
Twenty of the recipients were from Amadeo and 35 more were from Magallanes gifted with packages worth P440,000 under the Livelihood Seeding Program — Negosyo Serbisyo sa Barangay in late July and early August, respectively.
Let us help ourselves, so we can also help our economy to move forward.
The DTI developed the LSP-NSB to support the grassroots approach to enterprise development, increase the awareness of barangay officials on the services offered tthrough the Negosyo Centers and conduct business development assistance and services in barangays.
MSME beneficiaries of the program include sole proprietors, cooperatives, or sector associations located in identified barangays, including those in local communist armed conflict (LCAC) affected areas, vulnerable communities such as the indigenous people, refugees, and stateless persons.
Priority assistance is given to MSME affected by natural and human-induced calamities, including health disasters arising from epidemics and pandemics.
External affairs administrator Victor Dihan, on behalf of Amadeo Mayor Redel John Dionisio, welcomed the DTI team, acknowledging the presence of DTI-Regional Operations Group Assistant Secretary Dominic Tolentino, Jr. and DTI 4-A Director Marilou Q. Toledo who, according to Dihan, have been in the service of Caviteños for a long time.
Recognition was also given to Maynard Ambion of the business permit and licensing office, Lynette Bayot of the public employment service office, and the barangay captains of Barangay Minantok Kanluran, Minantok Silangan, Maymangga and Bucal in Amadeo for their cooperation in the execution of the project.
During her message, Director Toledo emphasized her hopes for the success of the LSP-NSB program, underscoring its positive effect in the barangay-level economy.
