| ILIGAN CITY, Lanao del Norte, Oct. 10 (PIA)- -The whole month of October is declared Business Month, here, per Sangguniang Panlungsod Resolution Number 11-715, passed during its regular session dated August 8, 2011.
| | Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, Oct. 12 (PIA) -- The city government and the Iligan City Cooperative Development Council have formally launched the celebration of the Cooperative Month in October. |
| This is enviably one of the city’s strategies to perk up economic activities by holding business activities and festivities that increased the sales of products and services of the local stakeholders, explained SP Kagawad Ruderic C. Marzo, one of the main authors of the resolution.
| | The opening salvo of the occasion was the distribution of livelihood assistance to different groups through Mayor Lawrence Ll. Cruz, Vice Mayor Henry Dy, City Councilor Roy Openiano, Chairman of the Committee on Livelihood and Cooperative of the city council and other city officials. |
| While SP Kagawad Frederick W. Siao, co-main author, said this will be celebrated every year thereafter, to provide the local stakeholders, such as, the local business sectors and the educational institutions, among others, with a concrete venue to craft their own vision, mission, plans, and strategies to advance the business climate in the city.
| | The assistance consists of 14 cubic meter freezer for the Iligan Food Terminal, sewing machine for the Acmac Rural Improvement Club, sewing machine for fisherman’s housewives of Acmac, sewing machine for Suarez Women’s Association, 10 sacks of rice for the Hand in Hand Women’s Association of Fortaleza Street, 6 sacks of rice for the Maria Cristina Small Vendors Association and gas range for the Alternative Learning System or ALS. |
| “Thus, during this month, we need to institutionalize the holding of business conferences/conventions, regularize trade exhibits, and strengthen the opportunity of the small players to showcase their products,” Siao added.
| | Also launched recently during a flag raising program at city hall was the Iligan Business Monthand National Statistics Month. (CIO) |
| Activities were also lined up with a kick-off/launching last Oct. 3, during the flag ceremony at the city hall amphitheatre, with the support of the city officials led by Mayor Lawrence Ll. Cruz, said Siao.
