“We should push our products and make them more marketable. In order to make these products marketable, we need to apply more research and development,” Mayor Gordon added.

“Napakahalaga ng research and development sa ating Medium and Small Enterprises kaya dapat i-apply natin ang mga ito to make Philippine products more competitive in the global market,” said Mayor Gordon.
