We would also like to recognize the dedicated women on the ground—our Negosyo Center frontliners—who tirelessly deliver the core services of the Department of Trade and Industry to our communities. As the first point of contact for many aspiring and existing entrepreneurs, they play a vital role in guiding MSMEs through business registration, mentoring, capacity-building, and access to government programs.

These women serve as trusted partners of our grassroots entrepreneurs, providing technical assistance and practical support that help micro, small, and medium enterprises grow and thrive. Through their commitment and passion for service, they help empower local businesses, create opportunities, and contribute to the strengthening of our local economy.

Their work goes beyond public service—it is a meaningful contribution to inclusive economic development and community empowerment. This Women’s Month, we proudly celebrate our Negosyo Center women for their dedication, leadership, and unwavering support to the MSME sector.
