𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞: The 𝑵𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒔𝒚𝒐 𝑪𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝑬𝑫𝑪𝒆𝒏 in partnership with the Socio-Economic Development Program Multi-Purpose Cooperative (SEDP-MPC), successfully conducted a 𝑺𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏 𝑷𝒊𝒍𝒊 𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒕-𝑴𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 on April 7, 2026. The activity was participated in by fifteen (15) micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from Legazpi City, Albay.

The training aimed to enhance the participants’ knowledge and skills in pili craft-making, a unique and creative way of utilizing pili shells and other related materials to produce handicrafts and decorative items.

Through this activity, participants were introduced to various techniques and processes in crafting pili-based products, allowing them to explore innovative ways of transforming local resources into marketable items.

This initiative reflects the continuous commitment of the Negosyo Center SEDCen and its partners to provide relevant capacity-building programs that empower MSMEs, promote local resources, and encourage sustainable livelihood opportunities in the province.

In great acknowledgement to Mr. Robert O. Lorin, owner of Obhetz Arts and Crafts, for sharing his knowledge and expertise to improve the quality and skills of the artisans.

Alam mo ba kung saan nabibilang ang mga binibili mong produkto araw-araw?

Mahalagang malaman ang pagkakaiba ng Basic Necessities at Prime Commodities.

Ayon sa RA 7581 o Price Act, ang Basic Necessities (BN) ay mga produktong kailangan para mabuhay at manatiling malusog, lalo na sa panahon ng sakuna o krisis. Samantala, ang Prime Commodities (PC) ay hindi pangunahing pangangailangan pero mahalaga pa rin sa pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay, ayon sa Price Act.

Maging mapanuri at matalinong mamimili. ❤️

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) – Albay Provincial Office, through Negosyo Center Daraga in partnership with Socio-Economic Development Program Multi-Purpose Cooperative,successfully conducted the “Continuity and Resilience: A Seminar for Sustainable Business Operations” on March 18, 2026, at the 3rd Floor, SEDP Training Hall, Kapantawan Legazpi City.

The activity gathered twenty (20) MSMEs from the processed food, bread and pastry, wearables and homestyle. Through interactive discussions, risk assessment exercises, and guided planning using the Business Continuity Planning (BCP) Roadmap, participants gained practical knowledge on identifying potential risks, developing contingency strategies, and formulating their own Business Continuity Plans.

Mr. Senen T. Briones, Senior Trade-Industry Development Specialist (STIDS) of DTI Albay, served as the resource speaker. He emphasized the importance of proactive planning to ensure business resilience and faster recovery during crises. He also highlighted how external shocks, such as the ongoing Middle East crisis that has caused global oil price increases, may affect production costs, logistics, and overall business operations.

Selected participants also benefited from one-on-one coaching sessions, where they received personalized guidance to further strengthen their Business Continuity Plans.

Through initiatives like this, DTI Albay continues to empower MSMEs to remain prepared, adaptable, and resilient in the face of evolving business challenges.
