Vice President Sara Duterte led the opening of Café Gervacios in Davao City on April 20.

The opening of businesses like this proves the country's economy is slowly recovering after the pandemic. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) like this one are the backbone of a city's economy. Businesses like these play a significant role, especially in providing employment opportunities for our fellow citizens.

The Vice President emphasized the duty of the Office of the Vice President to value businesses like this. One of the OVP’s programs, “Mag Negosyo Ta 'Day” is aimed at providing training and a little capital to the women and LGBT community sectors.
