BACOOR CITY, Cavite (PIA) – The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the city government of Bacoor, and the Office of the 2nd District of Cavite Representative partner to initiate the launching of the One Town One Product (OTOP) hub located at the 2nd Floor Main Square Mall, Molino Boulevard last February 14.
Together, DTI Secretary Alfredo Pascual, Mayor Strike Revilla, and Congresswoman Lani Mercado-Revilla led the ceremony together with Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Regional Director Lionel Dalope, DTI-Calabarzon OIC Regional Director Marissa Argente, Congressman Bryan Revilla, DTI-Cavite Provincial Director Revelyn Cortez, and Vice-Mayor Rowena Bautista-Mendiola.
This is the second OTOP hub in the province that aims to provide a venue for market access to OTOP products that help Micro, Small, and Medium-scale Enterprises (MSMEs) in the city to sell and promote their Bacooreño brand products and services.
“I believe that giving opportunities to micro small enterprises will stabilize the local economy not only in the city of Bacoor, it will also provide a livelihood to those who make products, and give a higher level to the product that can be export,” said ASEC Dominic Tolentino Jr.
This project was first planned by the then mayor of the city and now Congresswoman Lani Revilla and was pushed to implementation by Mayor Strike Revilla in collaboration with the City Livelihood and Negosyo Center.
“This is not just a personal achievement but a collective achievement of all sectors,” stated Congresswoman Lani Revilla.
Likewise, in full support of the city government’s efforts to reach more constituents of Bacoor City, Filinvest housed the OTOP hub at the Main Square Mall, one of its Lifemalls. (RBF/PIA-Cavite)
