Senator Loren Legarda today underscored the important role that micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play in generating jobs throughout the country especially in poor municipalities.
Legarda, principal author of the Magna Carta for MSMEs, issued the statement following results of an online survey conducted by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and JobStreet.com Philippines, showing that three out of four locally employed Filipinos would accept jobs in their home region rather than work in another part of the country.
