Zamboanga entrep gives back to community. "Because of SETUP, we're able to improve our business, and we're able to help our community in return," says Ester A. Perez, owner of Baker's Field Enterprises at Guisao, Zamboanga City during the Technopreneurs Forum and Consultation. From one baker, Baker's Field now employs housewives, as well as out-of-school youth, in the community. Baker's Field is among the partners of the Department of Science and Technology-Region IX under its Small Enterprise Upgrading Program (SETUP) since 2015. The forum was held during the Regional Science and Technology Week in Marcian Garden Hotel, Zamboanga City from 9-11 September 2019.
