DTI Negosyo Serbisyo sa Barangay to provide aid to 40 micro-enterprise owners in Tinglayan

Tabuk City, Kalinga –Department of Trade and Industry’s Negosyo Serbisyo sa Barangay program will be providing aid to forty micro-enterprise owners in the Municipality of Tinglayan which is Php 8,000-worth livelihood kits.

This shall be done next month, according to Larae Lactao, municipal information officer of LGU Tinglayan, adding that eight out of the 20 barangays in the municipality were chosen to receive said assistance.

These are barangays Poblacion, Old Tinglayan, Tulgao East, Tulgao West, Butbut Proper, Loccong and Dananao, which were selected as they have not received any assistance from the agency yet. The reason for the limited number is due to the fact that only 8 barangay slots were alloted for Tinglayan this year.

“Every year ket adda ti slots nga mait-ited, tatta nga year ket 8 slots ket dagidiay barangays nga han nga napili idi last ken han pay natulungan, isu da ti maikkan tatta,” Lactao said.

Target recipients of the Negosyo Serbisyo Program

Target beneficiaries for the program are those involved in the weaving industry, manufacturing Industry, processing industry (processed food such as chili sauce, fruit chips, etc.), single mother-entrepreneurs, persons with disability-entrepreneurs and owners of long-established sari-sari stores with business permit.

Five recipients from each barangay will be selected with the help of barangay local government units.

Visitations shall be done by the agency starting first week of March to assess individuals included in the list if they are eligible to avail said program.

Chosen beneficiaries will then undergo seminar on management of their business and marketing strategies in selling their products.

“Dagidiay mapili, maseminar dan tu about ti panaghandle ti business, nu kas-anu da nga ma-market ti product da tapnun ma-encourage ti panagbusiness iti barangay ken customer service excellence,” Lactao said.

With the program benefiting small-time entrepreneurs in Tinglayan, Mayor Sacrament Gumilab in a statement expressed his thanks to the department for bringing the said assistance in his jurisdiction.

“Agyaman tayu launay iti daytoy nga inyeg iti DTI nga programa, daytuy Negosyo Serbisyo sa Barangay ta very important daytuy para kadagiti kakailyan tayu gamin maysa nga nga source ti livelihood daytoy,” he expressed.

“Dagituy iyeg ti DTI nga negosyo nga grants kadagituy kakailyan tayo nga taga-Tinglayan ket dakkel unnay daytoy nga tulong tapnu ma-establish ngay ti maysa nga business ta nu dummakkel dayta nga business ket agbalin tun nga source ti livelihood daytoy tau nga naikkan ti grant,” he added.

The livelihood assistance, he said, if being taken care of by the grantees will then grow and could possibly help the community by providing employment to other people.

Gumilab added that having this source of livelihood in the community will help a person in becoming self-sufficient which is very timely considering the effect on livelihood by the pandemic.

“Kase na-observe ku idi during ti pandemic ket kailangan nga self-sufficient ti munisipyo tapnu makasurvive isuna. Dakkel a banag daytuy nga adda iti enterprenuers, nga adda ti business nga sumrek ta adda ti trabaho ti tattau tapnu adda usaren uray nu nangyari nga macut ti supply for example during the pandemic ket haan tayu makapan idiay tabuk ket mabalin nga masustain iti biag ti tattau ditoy Tinglayan,” Gumilab stated.
