The facility that promotes products of micro, small, and medium enterprises is located on the ground floor of Casa Real or the old Iloilo Provincial Capitol in Iloilo City.
This one-stop shop is a collaboration among the Local Economic Development and Investment Promotion (LEDIP) Office of the Iloilo provincial government, the Integrated Entrepreneurs of Iloilo Philippines Inc. (IEIPI), and DTI.
The DTI said the new establishment provides OTOPreneurs another home to showcase and market their products and services that give experience and taste of their local culture, community resources, and creativity.
“This endeavor will capacitate them to innovate and produce market-ready products and services,” said DTI-Iloilo Provincial Director Maria Dinda R. Tamayo.
Also present during the opening was IEIPI President Catherine V. Taleon.
The first OTOP Philippines hub in Iloilo opened at Festive Walk Mall at the Iloilo Business Park of Megaworld last December 2021.
