PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur — The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) announced that there was sharp increase in new businesses in 2017 in this province.<\/p>\n

DTI Provincial Director Maria Socorro Atay on Friday said the Business Name Registration (BNR) in 2017 reached 2,962, which is 64 percent higher compared to the 1,812 registered in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cA comparative analysis on the number of BNRs processed and issued by the agency clearly shows the economic improvement of the province, further emphasizing its potential as a regional growth center,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Atay attributed to at least five factors that contributed to the sharp increase in the BNR in this province last year.<\/p>\n

These are the following: greater economic potential seen in the province; heightened entrepreneurial awareness; full implementation of the Barangay Micro Business Enterprise (BMBE) Law, which grants tax exemption to businesses with less than PhP3 million annual income; implementation of Pondo sa Pagbabago at Pag-asenso or P3 program; and, ease in acquiring permits through the implementation of the Business Permits Licensing System (BPLS) coupled with the accessibility of the Negosyo Centers in growth areas outside in this city.<\/p>\n

There are 11 Negosyo Centers across this province. Of the total, five were established last year and these are in the towns of Bayog, Tabina, Kumalarang, Josefina and Dumingag.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Atay said that 4,200 micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have availed of the agency\u2019s assistance through the conduct 160 entrepreneurship training in 2017.<\/p>\n

She said they also spearheaded the implementation of the BMBE as well as link interested MSMEs to partner Financial Institutions (FIs) that handled the P3 project.<\/p>\n

She said these form part of the government\u2019s efforts to strengthen MSMEs, which is aimed at improving the national economy and further contributing to the country\u2019s vision of making socio-economic growth and development inclusive.<\/p>\n
