Over the past seven months, since the BDTP initiated the Bagsakan on 16 March 2020, 20 Bagsakan activities were conducted in different venues generating total sales of over P7.8M and assisted 126 MSMEs as well as fruit and vegetable farmers, and cooperatives from 11 regions of the country namely, CAR, 1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, 5, 6, 8, 9 and NCR.
Due to the increasing request of MSMEs to continue this innovative marketing assistance extended by the DTI, five more big Bagsakan sale shall be conducted before the end of 2020. It is expected that more MSMEs will benefit from this project and help them recover from losses incurred during the enhanced community quarantine. Likewise, more MSMEs will be connected with new and big buyers both in the domestic and foreign market. With the continuous marketing effort of the Bureau in cooperation of the DTI Regional Operations Group, 398 MSMEs from all over the country were assisted to go digital and seeing their products in local and global marketplaces through Shopee, Lazada, Shopinas and UBGlobalinker.
