PRO-POOR PROGRAM. Department of Trade and Industry 11 director Maria Belenda Ambi discusses the Duterte administration’s planned implementation of “Pondo Para sa Pagbabago” (P3), a money lending program similar to 5/6. The government will pour out P1 billion for the program with an objective to give small business owners lending option other than 5/6. Ambi, together with DTI 11 assistant director Edwin Banquerigo and other officers in the region, interacted with the media during yesterday’s presentation of the agency’s 2016 accomplishments and next year’s plans.
