Being one of the partner agencies of the Inter-Agency Committee for the Celebration of the Month of Overseas Filipinos and International Migrants Day (IAC-MOF), DTI Misamis Oriental extended the following services to the overseas Filipinos and migrant workers during the Migrant Fair in Misamis Oriental: trade fair featuring local products of the province, business name (BN) registration, Barangay Micro Business Enterprise (BMBE), business counseling, and registration for the upcoming Entrepreneurial Development Seminar.
In her message of support, DTI Region 10 OIC-Assistant Regional Director Almer Masillones shared that while the Department may not have a dedicated program specifically for overseas Filipinos, DTI has programs and services that can indirectly contribute to the growth of this sector.
“DTI Region 10 has been partnering with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration in providing trainings to help OFWs acquire the necessary skills they need to start their own businesses.” OIC-ARD Masillones said.
“We capacitate entrepreneurship development to support the growth of MSMEs. We hope that our services bring positive influence and benefit to our Overseas Filipinos and Migrant Workers in a meaningful way.”
