Never mindful of the threats of monsoon waves, the lady OIC of DOST, joined DTI team on board a chartered small boat. The trip became both a challenge and an enjoyment. It was a challenge to bring the office services even across rough seas and remote municipalities. An enjoyment to be of service while exploring the beauty of nature.
Ms. Maniba presented the DOST's SETUP Program to about 25 participants from various parts of the town. The presentation gained interest among the ears of local entrepreneurs and generated potential clients under SETUP's various windows of assistance. Photo above shows Ms. Maniba answering the various queries from interested MSMEs of Maripipi.
