She explained the Pilar town Negosyo Center, the 61^st of its kind in Central Luzon’s seven (7) provinces would create a domino effect to the local economy which is envisioned to become the leading historical and cultural destination in the Luzon island.

The Negosyo Center would offer valuable information on the business application processing method, organizational set-up, requirement for business taxes, fees and other levies, marketing strategy, product development  and other livelihood trainings for the micro, small and medium entrepreneurs.
