Brochures on the One Town One Product in Central Visayas

Finally, the One Town One Product (OTOP) brochures on Central Visayas have been produced and disseminated to clients in Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental and Siquijor.

The Central Visayas OTOP brochures was first released on January 21, 2008.

The implementation of the OTOP Program in Central Visayas has been creating public awareness and has encouraged Local Government Units (LGUs) to support business initiatives in the countryside.

This is a positive development because government believes that spurring economic activity through promoting a highly competitive product could boost enterprise creation.

OTOP-Philippines is a priority program of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, which aids in promoting entrepreneurship to alleviate poverty in the long term.
