DTI
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) plays a key role in ensuring consumer protection, economic growth, and support for micro, small, and medium enterprises in the Philippines. It has been actively involved in cracking down on profiteering and hoarding during the holiday season and promoting initiatives like the Bagong Pilipinas MSME Hub to assist entrepreneurs. The DTI's suggestion that a ₱500 Noche Buena meal is achievable has sparked public debate and criticism over its feasibility given current economic conditions.
