KNOW YOUR WORTH!
On May 19, 2026, DTI Baguio-Benguet, through the Negosyo Center Mankayan, in strong partnership with the Local Government Unit of Mankayan, successfully conducted the seminar-workshop titled "Know Your Worth: Learning Effective Costing and Pricing Strategies" at the Convention Hall, Poblacion, Mankayan, Benguet.
This impactful one-day training was specially designed to empower 15 dynamic local MSMEs from different business sectors, equipping them with the vital financial knowledge needed to ensure business profitability and long-term sustainability.
The program formally kicked off with an encouraging opening message from Sir Reynaldo Manuit of the Sangguniang Bayan Office, followed by an inspirational message from the Municipal Mayor, which was warmly delivered by Sir Hector Gacita.
Miss Clair C. Dapuyen, DTI-Business Counselor of Baguio City, took the lead as the expert resource speaker. She expertly broke down complex costing concepts and pricing strategies into practical, everyday tools, which made our enthusiastic entrepreneurs actively roll up their sleeves during the workshop. The participants successfully completed hands-on costing computations and analyzed their current business structures to identify key areas for growth. Miss Dapuyen also discussed market opportunities.
To wrap up the productive day, the awarding of certificates was conducted by Ma'am Evangeline T. Gomeyac, Municipal BPLO, and Clay Hart S. Dango from the DTI Negosyo Center, Mankayan.
Ma'am Gomeyac officially brings the training to a close with inspiring final remarks.
A huge, heartfelt thank you goes out to Ma'am Maribel Bugtong and Sir Andress B. Kawi III for their invaluable assistance in facilitating and documenting the event and to the LGU-Mankayan, Benguet, for their continuous, unwavering support of our local entrepreneurs!
