ROSARIO, AGUSAN DEL SUR — Local Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Rosario gained practical business knowledge through an Entrepreneurial Mindset Training featuring the Business Expense Savings Training (BEST) Game on September 16, 2026, at RGEMCO Hall in Poblacion, Rosario, Agusan del Sur. The interactive activity focused on strengthening participants’ understanding of business management, expense control, savings, and financial decision-making. Through simulated business situations, participants were able to practice applying basic entrepreneurial concepts while developing skills that can support more effective business operations.
Turning Business Lessons Into an Interactive Experience
Developed by the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC), the BEST Game is a business simulation designed to introduce aspiring and established entrepreneurs to the fundamentals of running a business. Participants take on the role of entrepreneurs, choosing a business, offering products or services, attracting customers, and managing different business situations. Using play money and simulated scenarios, the game allows participants to experience common business decisions in an engaging setting. The activity helps them identify opportunities, understand customer needs, manage resources, and make financial choices while learning through actual participation rather than conventional classroom discussions.
Equipping MSMEs for Sustainable Business Growth
The training forms part of the continuing efforts of DTI Agusan del Sur and Negosyo Center Rosario to strengthen the capabilities of local entrepreneurs. Through practical capacity-building activities such as the BEST Game, MSMEs are given opportunities to improve their financial management, strengthen daily operations, and develop a more informed approach to business decision-making. By helping entrepreneurs build essential business skills, these initiatives contribute to the development of stronger and more sustainable local enterprises. Better-equipped MSMEs can pursue new market opportunities, create employment and livelihood opportunities, and contribute to the continued growth of communities across Agusan del Sur.
