BRINGING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES CLOSER TO SEMIRARA!

Today marks another significant milestone for Barangay Semirara, Municipality of Caluya, Antique, as the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Antique officially launched the 19th Negosyo Center in Barangay Semirara.

Sa pagkakaroon ng DTI Negosyo Center Semirara, mas napapalapit sa ating mga kababayan ang mga serbisyo, impormasyon, assistance, at programs ng DTI para sa ating mga Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), local entrepreneurs, at mga nais magsimula ng sariling negosyo.

Hindi lamang ito isang bagong tanggapan. Isa itong bagong pintuan para sa oportunidad.

The establishment of Negosyo Center Semirara is a collaborative effort between the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Antique and the Barangay Local Government Unit (BLGU) of Semirara, in coordination with the Municipality of Caluya, and with the support of the neighboring barangays of Alegria and Tinogboc.

This partnership demonstrates what can be achieved when government agencies and local communities work together toward a common goal: bringing services closer to the people and creating more opportunities for inclusive economic growth.

Present during the launching were the Barangay Officials of Semirara, headed by Punong Barangay Hon. Catherine “Kap Kikai” G. Lim, together with the Barangay Officials of Tinogboc, headed by Punong Barangay Hon. Romeo B. Malixi, and the Barangay Officials of Alegria.

Representing the Municipality of Caluya, a message of support from Municipal Mayor Hon. Rigil Kent G. Lim was delivered by Ms. Jennifer Gabenite, Private Secretary.

Also joining the celebration virtually through Zoom were officials and personnel from DTI Region VI, including Acting Regional Director Mutya D. Eusores, who delivered the inspirational message; Acting Assistant Regional Director Romel L. Amihan, who conveyed his message of support; and OIC Provincial Director Mary Jade R. Gonzales, who delivered the closing message.

Also present online were Provincial Director Merian Asas of DTI Capiz, Provincial Director Ma. Dorita Chavez of DTI Iloilo, together with DTI Regional Office personnel and Negosyo Center personnel.

Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to Ms. Xanthie B. Lizada, Sir Marlon Vargas, Ma’am Gevi Kristina S. Villafuerte who worked behind the scenes and helped prepare and make this meaningful launching possible.

We likewise extend our sincere gratitude to the Local Government Unit of Caluya, headed by Hon. Rigil Kent G. Lim, Municipal Vice Mayor Hon. Belfe S. Duran, and the Sangguniang Bayan of Caluya, for their continued support and commitment to initiatives that promote livelihood, entrepreneurship, and economic development in our communities.

The opening of Negosyo Center Semirara is a reminder that distance should never be a barrier to opportunity. Through stronger partnerships and accessible government services, we can empower more entrepreneurs and help build a more resilient and progressive island community.

From ideas to opportunities, from small beginnings to bigger possibilities—Negosyo Center Semirara is here to help our people move forward.

Congratulations, DTI Negosyo Center Semirara!
