The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is deepening its partnership with Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) to widen financing options for small businesses and electric vehicles (EVs), while pushing digital tools to bring government services closer to entrepreneurs nationwide.
As businesses expand digitally, the focus has shifted from adding tools to uniting them. Companies now manage an average 120 applications across fragmented systems, making coordinated networks, APIs, security, and AI critical.
Fresh from 2026 PVL Invitational, PLDT High Speed Hitters’ Alleiah Malaluan and Joan Monares visited Naga City to join the Peñafrancia Festival, marking the team’s second podium finish after last year’s gold. The festival drew some 1.2 million devotees in a vibrant show of faith, culture, and Bicolano pride. The pair paid a courtesy call on Mayor Leni Robredo and local officials, then met fans across the city’s sports community.
