In its effort to assist local businesses, the City Government of Taguig held on Friday a one-day orientation on Technical Assistance and Advisory Service designed to boost local cottage industries.
Mayor Ma. Laarni “Lani” Cayetano said the seminar was offered to Taguig establishments which are employing less than ten workers and those registered as Barangay Micro Business Enterprises (BMEs).
The orientation, which lasted from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., was held at the Taguig City Hall Auditorium. It was organized by the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) of Taguig City headed by Norman Mirabel and the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE).
Mirabel said the orientation seminar was designed to assist the owners and managers in mapping out a development program in a hope of increasing productivity and developing enterprises in the city.
“It is also designed to facilitate eventual compliance of the participants with labor standards to ensure that their workers get all the benefits that they are entitled to,” Mirabel said.
“We are glad to provide these owners sound technical assistance on how to run their operations,” he said, adding that representatives of establishments who have sufficient knowledge of operations of their businesses and can act and commit on owners’ behalf were also encouraged to join in the seminar.
For the entrepreneur assistance program, the PESO said that at least 33 registrants participated, mostly small businesses such as hardware merchandise, school and learning center, water station, salon/beauty parlor, bakery, barber shop, junk shop, motor shop, canteen and cafeteria and mini groceries.
