DTI public consultation

THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will hold a public consultation on its proposed administrative order amending the revised implementing rules and regulations of the Business Name Law today at the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry building on J. Lorente Street, Cebu City.

The DTI said the consultation will hear comments of stakeholders on the proposed order.
