Victoria, Laguna — The Department of Trade and Industry – Laguna Provincial Office (DTI-Laguna) thru its Negosyo Centers, in partnership with their respective local government units conducted a house-to-house profiling of the potential beneficiaries for the Negosyo Serbisyo sa Barangay (NSB) program.

Negosyo Serbisyo sa Barangay (NSB) Program, formerly known as Livelihood Seeding Program – Negosyo Serbisyo sa Barangay (LSP-NSB), seeks to promote entrepreneurship and economic development at the grassroots level. By providing direct assistance in starting a business to the marginalized sectors in barangays or local communities, it empowers individuals to start and grow their businesses. By bringing the business support to the barangay level, it provides entrepreneurial opportunities to marginalized sectors with better access to resources, information and support, ultimately contributing to poverty reduction.

This activity was conducted as follows:

  • October 16, 2024 – Pakil, Laguna and Magdalena, Laguna
  • October 21, 2014 – Lusiana, Laguna
  • October 28, 2024 – Cavinti, Laguna
  • October 30, 2024 – Liliw, Laguna
  • November 4, 2024 – Mabitac, Laguna
  • November 5, 2024 – Majayjay, Laguna and Nagcarlan, Laguna
  • November 6, 2024 – Bay, Laguna

The potential beneficiaries were profiled and screened for the qualifications of those under marginalized sectors such as senior citizen, person with disability, indigenous people, repatriated overseas Filipino worker, and with poor living conditions. The objectives of the NSB program are to provide direct assistance in starting or sustaining a business for the marginalized sectors in barangays or local communities and to promote entrepreneurship among marginalized sectors in target barangays to contribute to poverty reduction.

DTI-Laguna remains committed to their goal of educating, encouraging creativity, resiliency, and competitiveness.
