Solsona, Ilocos Norte—The Department of Trade and Industry unveiled another Negosyo Center to cater to residents of easternmost town of the province.

This is now the 10th Negosyo Center in the province, which DTI expects to boost economic growth and development among its business stakeholders.

Other Negosyo Centers in the province are located in Laoag, Batac, Burgos, Bacarra, San Nicolas, Badoc, Dingras, Piddig and Banna.

Led by DTI regional director Florente Leal and Solsona Mayor Alexander Calucag, a simple launching program and ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on September 6, 2018 at the Solsona Public Market where they established new center.

According to Mr. Leal, it is the department’s aim “to bring government services closer to its people” and one way of doing so is to establish more Negosyo Centers in the Philippines.

Under the Go Negosyo Act, micro, small and medium enterprises will have a better ease of doing business when a Negosyo Center is just within their reach.

Instead of going to the nearest DTI office, the center features a one-stop-shop for business enthusiasts to process their business registration, seek business advisory services, provide business information and advocacy; and monitoring and evaluation of business-process improvement.

Once a Negosyo Center is in place in a certain community, a local business person may no longer need to line up or go to the nearest DTI office to have his/her business registered and wait for days to process the registration process.

Based on experience, Alma Gaoiran, a sari-sari store owner in Burgos, Ilocos Norte said it takes only about five minutes to register a business at the Negosyo Center.

“This a big relief for us as we no longer need to spend money for transport and take extra effort to process our business requirements. We also have a chance to attend business counseling and seminars to improve our business with DTI personnel,” said Ms. Gaoiran.

By
MARCOS, Ilocos Norte—Taking pride of this town ’s favorite Ilo cano dish, locally known as pinakbet, a mix of indigenous vegetables steamed in fish sauce, residents here ushered the opening of the third Pinakbet festival. “Pinakbet” came from the contracted Ilokano word ‘pinakebbet ’ which means “ shrunk ” or “shriveled.” As a way of thanksgiving, the Pinakbet festival is a repository of the town ’ s “ani” [harvest] festival being celebrated every month of March but this was later moved to December to accommodate more balikbayans wanting to join the festivity. Residents in this agricultural town derived most of their income from the harvest of high value crops, including rice, tobacco and corn as staple crops.
