There were 140 registered participants who are mostly ‘adoptors’ of the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) implemented by DOST-NCR. There were also representatives from the NCR government offices, Metro Manila LGUs, and industry associations. A series of planning workshops for the selected SETUP ‘adoptors’ whose business offices and facilities are within the tsunami hazard zone in Metro Manila is lined up.
