The OTOP
or the One Town, One Product Philippines is a priority program of the
government to promote entrepreneurship and create jobs. Through OTOP, local
chief executives of each city and municipality take the lead in identifying,
developing, and promoting a specific product or service, which has a
competitive advantage.
OTOP-Philippines supports micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to manufacture, offer, and market distinctive products or services through the use of indigenous raw materials and local skills and talents.
