JORDAN, Guimaras — August 20, 2026 — The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Guimaras continued its efforts to help local businesses embrace digitalization through the second conduct of GO DIGITAL: Boosting MSME Growth, held at the Local Government Unit of Jordan.

They created Facebook Business Pages, designed promotional materials and business cards using Canva, learned how to use GCash for business transactions, and practiced going LIVE on social media to showcase their products.

In her closing message, Juvy D. Benliro encouraged participants to use their new skills and digital tools daily to improve operations and create new business opportunities

The activity demonstrated that going digital can start with simple, practical steps. For Jordan’s MSMEs, these steps can lead to greater visibility, more customers, and more opportunities for business growth.
