DTI-SM MSME Calamity Recovery Care Center: A lifeline for MSMEs
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and SM Supermalls have partnered to launch the DTI-SM MSME Calamity Recovery Care Center to assist micro-, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) impacted by Typhoon Carina.
These centers, located in over 20 SM Malls in Metro Manila and affected provinces, provide a safe operational space equipped with free Wi-Fi, charging stations, and phone access.
Affected MSMEs can access recovery assistance through DTI's PPG Program and explore loan programs from SB Corporation.
DTI business counselors are available at the centers to offer guidance on recovery strategies and business continuity planning.
This initiative serves as an alternative to DTI Negosyo Service Centers, ensuring continuous support for MSMEs.
The partnership was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by SM and DTI Secretary Alfredo Pascual on July 1.
