ALL roads will lead to Iloilo on Monday when the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) VI launches the “Negosyo Konsyumer, Atbp.” (NKATBP) that will attract over 500 participants from all over Western Visayas. This gathering will be held at the Iloilo Convention Center from Oct. 10 to 12, 2016.
DTI Asst. Secretary Blesila A. Lantayona will be the keynote speaker during the grand opening at 9am. Asst. Secretary Ameenah A. Fajardo will also grace the event along with other key officials from the regional and provincial offices in the region, led by DTI OIC-Regional Director Rebecca M. Rascon.
The grand opening will include the awarding of small business corporation checks to small and medium enterprise loan recipients; the awarding of checks to beneficiaries of bottom-up budgeting; the awarding and recognition of best shared service facility; the awarding of the Bagwis Award; and, the recognition of partners from various national government agencies, local government units, non-government organizations, and the academe, among others, who had been DTI partners in the implementation of its various programs and projects.
The NKATBP aims to bring all the functional groups of the agency in one setting as part of the government’s effort to increase people’s awareness of the services offered by the DTI.
Such groups include the Industry and Investments Group, which is in charge of investment promotion in activities critical to the DTI’s trade and industry development program; the International Trade Group, which promotes domestic and international trade and commerce; the Consumer Welfare and Trade Regulation, which is in charge of the enforcement of laws to protect consumers, consumer education, and formation of consumer groups; and the Regional Operations and Development Group, which is responsible for the field operations of the DTI in the regions and provinces.
With this activity, the DTI aims to make its various services more accessible to the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the region, and to apprise them of new trends to further promote their products and services.
Aside from the NKATBP’s main events, there will also be a Panublion Regional Trade Fair that will showcase foods, wearables and crafts from all over Western Visayas. It will runs from 10AM to 9PM, on Oct. 10 to 16, at the SM City Activity Center./PN
