A three-in-one program organized by the DTI and DOLE aimed to support typhoon-affected communities in Basco, Batanes through an entrepreneurial development seminar, livelihood kits distribution, and a Diskwento Caravan.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), in partnership with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), organized a combined livelihood program and relief initiative for the typhoon-affected communities in Basco, Batanes . The three-in-one program, held on Dec. 11, included an entrepreneurial development seminar, distribution of livelihood kits and a Diskwento Caravan.
DTI acting provincial director Cyrus Restauro said the primary goal of the event was to support the rebuilding of MSMEs and communities severely impacted by recent typhoons in the province. The Diskwento Caravan, a key feature of the event, aimed to assist local businesses by boosting sales through discounted products, while also helping consumers access affordable goods. The initiative created a win-win solution for both businesses and the community, particularly during the holiday season. Meanwhile, DOLE Batanes representative Medardo Serrano led an orientation on the agency’s programs, focusing on livelihood assistance and financing opportunities for MSMEs affected by recent calamities. He highlighted the partnership with the DTI as a unified government effort to support entrepreneurs, foster job creation, and strengthen community resilience in the province. Following the orientation, the entrepreneurial development seminar equipped micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with essential knowledge and skills for business success. A session on the “7Ms of Successful Entrepreneurs” also provided valuable insights into the key strategies and traits necessary for entrepreneurial growth. The seminar also covered the Barangay Micro Business Enterprise (BMBE) Act of 2002, highlighting the benefits and incentives under the law that are available to microentrepreneurs
