We have a small budget there. If you go outside, our display booth is small &#8212; about two meters by three meters &#8212; while the other countries have island display. When you say island display, easily 30 square meters [by] 40 square meter, that\u2019s bigger booth, so we are dwarfed. So, that\u2019s also our representation [in international exhibits],\u201d he said in Filipino.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;text-align: start;margin: 15.0pt 0in 15.0pt 0in\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';color: black\">He added that doubling the budget for international promotion aims to help micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to bring their products for marketing abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;text-align: start;margin: 15.0pt 0in 15.0pt 0in\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';color: black\">\u201cSo it\u2019s not really for government.
