Meanwhile, the Buy Local is an initiative of the Department of Trade and
Industry to campaign for the support of the local government units to their
respective local micro-enterprises. This involves allocating 10% of their
procurement of goods to local products, using them as a token for their guests/visitors,
setting up a display booth in their respective offices, and mounting trade
exhibits during any of their events. (Ms. Bema Theresa Vasquez,
