The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) distributed business kits to 32 micro entrepreneurs from Paluan and Abra de Ilog towns during the recent “Handog ng Pangulo: Serbisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat” caravan in the municipality of Mamburao. DTI Regional Director Amormio Benter said the 552,924 business kits, under the Negosyo Serbisyo sa Barangay (NSB) program, aim to assist micro entrepreneurs or small businesses with assets not exceeding PHP3 million. Seeing its positive impact, DTI continued the initiative by providing equipment and supplies tailored to the needs of micro, small and medium enterprises. Flores said PHP1.5 million worth of business kits has been allotted for distribution this year. To qualify for NSB assistance, micro entrepreneurs must have a business permit and be registered under the Barangay Micro Business Enterprise program.
