Activity/Assignment
I. Directions: Research about the Government Programs that gives aide to
Small and Medium Enterprises here in the Philippines. What is the
purpose of each Government program? (Give at least 5 examples).

1. GO LOKAL!
- It is the DTI Go Lokal! Government program, which brings locally made products
to Go Lokal! partner stores and retail establishments all over the Philippines. The
access that Go Lokal! can give is best for MSMEs with unique products looking
for a broader market, especially those made from regional and local traditions.

2. KAPATID MENTOR ME
- The DTI’s KAPATID MENTOR ME program helps with this by providing
MSMEs free education and training and then assists them by linking them to
bigger companies. This government program gives both established and new
business owners in the Philippines the necessary knowledge, advice, skills, and
connections to run and grow a business.

3. BARANGAY MICRO BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

- Recognizing that microbusinesses keep a lot of communities thriving, especially
in remote and suburban areas, the government signed the Barangay Micro
Business Enterprise (BMBE) Law in 2002. The benefits under this law help out
micro entrepreneurs in the Philippines by giving them incentives to help run their
small businesses.

4. PONDO SA PAGBABAGO AT PAG-ASENSO (P3)

- One big problem for new MSME entrepreneurs is quick access to capital, but the
government solves this with the Pondo sa Pagbabago at Pag-Asenso
(P3) program. This DTI program, which translates to the Fund for Change and
Growth in Tagalog, helps entrepreneurs by streamlining and simplifying the loan
process.

School Goals: “Produce highly skilled Industrial Technologists trained in their respective discipline socially responsible for
the innovative state of the art technology and be globally competitive.”

5. SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISE ROVING ACADEMY

- DTI has the Small and Medium Enterprise Roving Academy (SMERA), a
continuous learning program for the development of MSMEs in the Philippines.
SMERA is a partnership and mentorship with the DTI, where business owners
participating in the program get paired with a counselor and an expert who advise
them on training and business development services they may need.
