MANILA, Philippines — Vendors in Quezon City will now have access to more development training programs, with the city government recently enacting an ordinance that institutionalizes the QC Vendors’ Business School.

The program, first rolled out in 2024, aims to capacitate vendors on areas such as income management, service quality and compliance with city regulations.

Managed by the city’s Market Development and Administration Department with the support of various local government offices, the school will offer lessons in business management, food safety and quality, customer service, financial literacy and climate adaptation.

“In line with our good governance culture, this support has been institutionalized. Under our ordinance, we ensure annual funding for the program, free training for all qualified participants and the continuous improvement of the initiative to make sure our vendors’ learning is meaningful,” Mayor Belmonte said in Filipino.

“This means that the program is not just a one-time training. This ordinance makes the program official and sustainable, so vendors can continue to learn, improve and adapt as the city grows,” Belmonte added.
