LOOK | The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office MIMAROPA, through the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), successfully launched the first session of its webinar series titled “SLP Registro: Formalizing Livelihoods for Sustainable Growth” on May 2, 2025 via Google Meet.

The webinar was attended by seventy (70) SLP personnel both from the Regional Program Management Office (RPMO) and provincial offices, with Anjonneth A. Daileg, Trade and Industry Development Specialist from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) MIMAROPA as the resource person.

Her session covered the DTI business registration process, which is a crucial step in legitimizing enterprises and enabling access to various forms of government support. Key topics included identifying who needs to register with DTI, the step-by-step registration process both online and in-person, business name validity, renewal procedures, and corresponding fees.

She also discussed the Barangay Micro Business Enterprise (BMBE) registration process and its benefits, including income tax exemption and eligibility for government assistance and financing, and stressed ways to strengthen the capacity of SLP implementers in assisting program participants with the formalization of their micro-enterprises through proper business registration.

The SLP Registro webinar series, conducted every Friday, is part of the Sulong Dunong, the capacity-building initiative of the Sustainable Livelihood Program. This series aims to equip SLP implementers with practical knowledge and tools they can use to better assist participants in developing and sustaining their livelihood projects.
