COVID-19 impacts all aspects of life as we know it.

From how people connect to how governments govern to how business is done, the rules have changed with the outbreak of this game changing pandemic.

90% of registered businesses in Cagayan de Oro are micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), majority of which operate in the services sector, which is especially hard hit on account of quarantine-restricted mobility and spending.

The Economy Cluster of Cagayan de Oro's Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and the Cagayan de Oro Trade and Investment Promotions Center (Oro-TIPC) have compiled a list of available financial relief packages for businesses.
