00:06a favorite area of shoppers and buyers.
00:09Let's find out in the first news live from EJ Gomez.
00:12EJ, how does that level up?
00:18Susan, to those of us who have Sari-Sari Stores in our hearts,
00:23the government has a plan to upgrade your stores through digitalization.
00:30This is a way for the business to flourish and be able to keep up with the modern economy.
00:40The Department of Trade and Industry launched a program
00:44to upgrade Sari-Sari Stores across the country.
00:47The program includes accepting cashless payments,
00:50offering digital services such as e-load, cash-in and bills payments,
00:54as well as ordering goods online.
00:57In this program, we will help you learn digital tools
01:02as well as the knowledge and sustainable practices that will help your business.
01:10Under your store, level up DTI,
01:13there will be free modules, webinars, and learning sessions in business centers.
01:18It started yesterday and will last until October 23.
01:21DTI is working on this program
01:25so that your store will be stable, flourishing,
01:30and ready to keep up with the modern economy towards the new Philippines.
01:38The opinions of some shoppers and buyers in DTI's program are different.
01:42They can earn more, but they can also go crazy,
01:46especially with the system of cashless payments.
01:48It's a favor because I can earn more from the store.
01:52Nowadays, there are a lot of people who go crazy.
01:57Just in case I'm inside and they're holding their cellphones,
02:02I won't be able to catch them.
02:04The owners of the Sari-Sari Stores will lose money.
02:09It's a favor because it's convenient for people
02:15so they can buy faster.
02:18For some shoppers, cashless and bills payments are a good thing
02:23because it's convenient.
02:25If there will be a Stell Payment Center in the Sari-Sari Stores,
02:29it's not a waste of time.
02:31It's just near.
02:32If you go out, you can pay.
02:40Susan, according to DTI,
02:42the number of Sari-Sari Stores in the country will reach 1 million.
02:46They are among the so-called economy giants.
02:50That's the first news from Manila.
