DAGUPAN CITY (PIA) – The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) conferred the Bagwis Award to 11 business firms in Pangasinan in recognition of their best trade practices and proper services to their clients.
Provincial Director Peter Mangabat of DTI-Pangasinan said the Bagwis Program seeks to create an environment where entrepreneurship upholds fair and honest business practices through voluntary self-regulation.
“Likewise, it aims to ensure that quality and safe goods, products and services at affordable prices are available at DTI-certified establishments,” he said.
This year, three establishments obtained the Bagwis Silver Award while eight business firms received the Bagwis Bronze Award.
Recipients of the Bagwis Award were given due recognition in a regional ceremony held at the Vigan Convention Center in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur on Thursday.
