Huwarang MSMEs at Kooperatiba, pinarangalan

Upang bigyang pagkilala ang sipag, tiyaga, at dedikasyon ng mga Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) at kooperatiba sa lalawigan, muling isinagawa ang Galing Bataan Awards 2025 noong Ika-24 ng Oktubre sa Bataan People’s Center.

Sa kanyang mensahe, binigyang-diin ni Governor Joet Garcia ang mahalagang papel ng mga MSMEs at kooperatiba sa pagpapatatag ng lokal na ekonomiya. “Bukod sa mga malalaking establisimyento na tumutulong sa ating ekonomiya, kayo pong mga MSMEs at cooperatives ang pinakamalapit sa puso ng bawat Bataeño dahil sa inyo, nagkakaroon ng mga produktong tunay na Bataeño,” ani Gov. Garcia. Ipinahayag din ng gobernador ang kanyang pasasalamat at pagbati sa lahat nang nagwagi, na aniya’y patunay ng patuloy na pag-unlad ng sektor ng pangangalakal at kooperatiba sa lalawigan.

Ang parangal ay isinagawa sa pangunguna ni Ms. Ludivina Banzon at ng buong Provincial Cooperative and Enterprise Development Office (PCEDO), katuwang ang iba’t ibang ahensya gaya ng Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), at iba pang partner institutions na patuloy na sumusuporta sa mga MSMEs at kooperatiba sa Bataan.

Dumalo rin sa seremonya sina CDA Assistant Regional Director Carolina Miguel at DTI Regional Director Edna Dizon, na kapwa nagpahayag ng kanilang paghanga sa aktibong partisipasyon ng mga kooperatiba at negosyong Bataeño sa pagbangon ng lokal na ekonomiya.
