Tabuk City, Kalinga – The Department of Trade and Industry–Kalinga launched one of its newest Shared Service Facilities (SSF), aimed at strengthening and supporting local MSMEs, on December 3, 2025 at the Pasalubong Center in Malalao, Tabuk City.

The SSF is a flagship project of the DTI that aims to enhance the productivity and efficiency of micro, small, and medium enterprises by providing better access to technology.
