The Department of Trade and Industry’s National Capital Regional Office (DTI-NCRO) is ramping up its support for small businesses at a high-profile health event in Quezon City.

The agency has set up a Negosyo Center booth at the “LAB for All” program, a free medical services initiative spearheaded by First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos.

Key details:

  • Event Date: August 1, 2024
  • Location: Risen Garden, Quezon City Hall Compound

The DTI’s presence at the event underscores the government’s push to integrate business support with broader social services. The Negosyo Center booth offers:

  1. Business Name Registration assistance
  2. Barangay Micro Business Enterprise (BMBE) Registration support
  3. Business Advisory Services

This move comes as the Philippines continues to focus on economic recovery and small business growth in the post-pandemic era. The “LAB for All” program, which stands for “Laboratoryo, Konsulta at Gamot para sa Lahat” (Laboratory, Consultation, and Medicine for All), represents a coordinated effort by various government agencies to bring essential services directly to Filipino citizens.

Analysts see this as part of a broader strategy to stimulate local economies by combining health initiatives with business support. The DTI’s participation could signal increased government attention on the intersection of public health and economic development.
