CEBU – Nearly 18,000 Cebuano entrepreneurs have submitted their application for the Sugbo Negosyo, the micro-enterprise assistance program of the Cebu Provincial Government.
The application forms will then undergo another level of screening
and evaluation by the Offices of the Vice Governor and the Provincial Board
(PB) members. They will identify who will qualify for the program based on
potential success and classification of business, whether existing or start-up.
Sugbo Negosyo is another pilot program of Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia
which focuses on helping micro, small, and medium enterprises bounce back after
being inactive for the past seven months because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Through this program, Cebuano entrepreneurs who were greatly
affected by the pandemic will be given the opportunity to start their own
business, make their own products or reboot their business operations.
Based on the guidelines, the applications will be categorized as
Category A which will receive assistance through raw materials and supplies
worth P50,000, Category B receiving P20,000 assistance and Category C P10,000.
Category A or Negosyong Padayonon is intended for established
micro enterprise that need recovery assistance and enhancement. Category B or
Produktong Sugbuanon is for new and existing micro-enterprise engaged in
manufacturing or processing while Category C or “Mga Serbisyo ug Gagmay’ng
Patigayon” for new and existing micro-entrepreneurs engaged in trading and
services.
Garcia told the staff of the PB offices that they will also need
to categorize the types of businesses and their needs to facilitate product
matching with suppliers.
At least 30 suppliers have already committed to participate in the
program in a meeting with the governor early this month. The Province is
expected to meet the suppliers within this week for the signing of a memorandum
of agreement.
“Akong gitinguha nga as many suppliers as possible kay we are
looking at businesses nga varied kaayo kini. It could range from food to
manufacturing certain products or even crafts dunay himuon nga mga butang para
sa balay, sapatos ba kaha ron og unsa pa. Mao ni atong buhaton mag Memorandum
of Agreement ta. It will be the Province ang mubayad ninyo direkta,” Garcia
said. (Vanessa L. Almeda)
