Abstract
Developing countries like the Philippines need to pay attention to small scale industries which contribute to the improvement of the economy. Common issues and policy resolutions have been identified by the Department of Trade and Industry in the study that they conducted in the year 2000. One perennial problem that they have identified in Philippine industries is the lack of manpower training particularly on managerial skill and the lack of formal education among industry players. In the policy resolution formulated to address the problem, investment geared towards the improvement of manpower capabilities and skills and other related programs including formal modes for both workers and managers were encouraged. The existence of these small business enterprises in Talisay City and Minglanilla helped much in the provision of self-fulfillment, income, and independence. The degree of importance of these small industries is only on the level describe as moderately important. Theoretically, more of these small industries belong to a highly important category. Hence, there is a need for the local government to create a linkage with the Department of Trade and Industry to support these small-scale industries. At the same time, there is a need to formulate a framework for a better program of management of these small-scale industries.
