Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from the Calabarzon region generated P8.4 million in sales during a five day regional trade fair, exceeding the original P5 million target, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) announced.
The 13th Kalakal Calabarzon Regional Trade Fair, themed “Galing Lokal Hanggang Global,” was held from June 24 to 28 in Makati and featured 51 DTI assisted MSMEs from Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon.
Held annually since 2014, the trade fair has served as a major platform for promoting products from Calabarzon enterprises. It gives entrepreneurs direct access to bulk buyers, increases retail sales, and introduces locally made products to a wider market.
Residents of Las Piñas City prefer the immediate continuation of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project over retaining the C-5 Quirino Flyover. This was based on a survey conducted by the office of Las Piñas Lone District Representative Mark Anthony Santos, which showed that residents support the implementation of Phase 2 of the 3.2 kilometer LRT-1 Cavite Extension. The phase includes the planned stations in Las Piñas and Zapote. The survey found that the LRT-1 Cavite Extension is expected to provide greater benefits by shortening travel time, easing traffic congestion, and offering more efficient and dependable public transportation for commuters from Las Piñas, Parañaque, and Cavite.
