All honorees will also receive cash prizes, Go Negosyo founder and Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC) lead for jobs Joey Concepcion announced in the same event, which also marked the return of the award after a 15-year hiatus.
Meanwhile, the President vowed to craft a comprehensive strategy to foster a conducive environment for MSMEs under the government’s “Bagong Pilipinas” initiative.
“Aptly titled the MSME Development Plan [2023-2028], this strategic roadmap is structured around further improving the business environment, enhancing the skills and innovation, and expanding market access,” he said.
He will soon issue an executive order “that will set the specific roles and outline the procedures and activities for all involved agencies.”
The Department of Trade and Industry is now working with the MSME Development Council and the Office of the President to finish the circular.
MSMEs in the Philippines comprise 99.59 percent of the total establishments, highlighting their huge impact on employment and livelihood. At least 1,105,143 out of 1,109,689 total business enterprises are MSMEs.
