The Department of Trade and Industry Iloilo strengthened its counseling, advocacy, and networking efforts through the Negosyo Center Advocacy Campaign Toward Strengthened Services, held Aug. 20, 2025, in Barangay Buga, Leon.

The activity was led by the DTI Iloilo Provincial Office team, along with Trade and Industry Development Specialists Lakambini T. Regalado and Kurt Maurice Tugaff, Small Business Corp. Provincial Coordinator Wilfe Jimoga-on, and business counselors from the 2nd District.

The campaign aims to raise awareness among micro, small, and medium enterprises and local residents about services offered by Negosyo Centers, including business name registration, product development, entrepreneurship training, access to finance, marketing assistance, and consumer protection programs.

By working directly with barangay officials, entrepreneurs, and the local community, DTI Iloilo highlighted the importance of accessible government support in advancing livelihood and enterprise development.

The initiative also provided a venue for dialogue with stakeholders to strengthen collaboration in promoting inclusive growth at the grassroots level.

DTI Iloilo thanked the officials and residents of Barangay Buga for their warm welcome and support, noting that active community participation is key to building a resilient and business-friendly local economy.
