Ramon Lopez

BAGAMA’T may ilang negosyo ang nagsasara, marami rin ang nagbubukas sa gitna ng pandemya.

“People still have to earn and find another livelihood. So they must have closed that business but they are opening another businesses. Of course, they have to continue to earn, to pivot, (to) look for new businesses. That is the reason why we have the data, over the years, the number of businesses that are renewing and registering new businesses, we count them all, the numbers continue to grow,” wika ni Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez.

Sa datos ng DTI, hanggang noong Agosto ng kasalukuyang taon, ang kabuuang bilang ng mga rehistradong negosyo ay tumaas sa 2.08 million mula 1.5 million noong 2019.

Mayroon ding 5 million hanggang 6 million na entrepreneurs sa informal sector.

“There’s good news there, that entrepreneurship is alive in the country and that Filipinos are entrepreneurial. They find ways to earn, especially those who lost their jobs, so they shifted fast and now we’re seeing this growth,” sabi ni Lopez.

Samantala, sinabi ng DTI chief na base sa survey ng ahensiya,  10 percent ng business establishments ang nananatiling sarado.

Sa 10 percent na saradong negosyo, 20 percent ang nagsabing permanente na silanh tumigil sa operasyon.
