PUBLIC ADVISORY | BEWARE OF ILLEGAL ONLINE RAFFLES
Kami ay nakatanggap ng mga reklamo ukol sa umano’y ilegal na online raffles na isinasagawa sa pamamagitan ng livestreaming, kung saan hinihingan ng bayad ang mga kalahok para sa kanilang slots. Pinapangakuan ng mga scammer ang mga “nanalo” ng sasakyan at iba pang premyo kapalit ng pagbabayad ng karagdagang halaga upang ma-claim umano ang kanilang napanalunan.
Nagpapakita rin ang mga ito ng pekeng DTI Business Name Certificates upang magmukhang lehitimo ang kanilang transaksyon.
Pinapaalalahanan ng ahensya ang publiko ng mga sumusunod:
⚠️ Ang Business Name Registration ay nagbibigay lamang ng legal na pagkakakilanlan sa isang negosyo. Kinakailangan pa rin ng kaukulang Business/Mayor’s Permit upang legal na makapag-operate ang isang negosyo.
⚠️ Hindi nagbibigay ang DTI ng permit, lisensya, o anumang katumbas na sertipiko para sa mga gambling activities, kabilang ang online betting at raffles.
⚠️ Huwag magbayad kapalit ng pagkuha ng premyo.
⚠️ Huwag magbigay ng personal na impormasyon sa mga hindi lehitimong indibidwal o organisasyon.
Mag-ingat sa mga naglipanang online scams. I-report agad sa kinauukulang tanggapan ng pamahalaan ang mga kahina-hinalang transaksyon.

The energy from Day 1 of the workshop remains high as we conclude Day 2 of the Workshop 4 of the Pag-Ukob Incubation Program!
After weeks of refining technical designs and prototypes, our incubatees took a deep dive into Business Modelling, Marketing, and Sales Strategies. Day 2 of Workshop 4 session was about more than just business models; it was about ensuring that every homegrown innovation from MinSU has the foundation to survive and thrive in the real-world market.
Incubatees had presented their action plan and model canvas, along with that, they received training on how to register a business through the DTI Business Registration Platform and learned about the compliance and regulations for business registration, a critical step to their commercialization. Additionally, incubatees gained insight into how to properly work with product packaging and design, making sure the product-based ventures are equipped with knowledge and insight to produce market-fit products.
We also extend our warm regards to the DTI Oriental Mindoro, under the leadership of Mr. Arnel Hutalla, Provincial Director, for his strong support for this initiative, along with Ms. Rosa Vera Fortu, Senior Trade Industry Development Specialist, and Mr. Mary Jayson DV. Lualhati, Trade Industry Development Specialist of DTI Oriental Mindoro, for leading and facilitating the two-day workshop. Your insights and expertise really contribute to the success of our ventures.
We are no longer just looking at idea projects—we are looking at the next generation of MIMAROPA’s innovative-driven enterprises.
