The Department of Trade and Industry is a government body and a service agency created under Executive Order No. 133 on February 27, 1987, reorganizing the Ministry of Trade and Industry, including its attached agencies, and streamlining corresponding functions and responsibilities.

Under this Order, the DTI is mandated to serve as a primary coordinative, promotive, regulative and facilitative arm for trade, industry and investment activities in the country. DTI shall act as the catalyst for intensified private sector activity to accelerate and sustain economic growth and to champion both business and consumers in the regions.

We see the Philippines occupying its rightful place in a community of nations, prosperous and free. Together with business, we are an active and leading partner in propelling the Philippines toward a dynamic and thriving economy. Our success is anchored on global competitiveness, with social responsibility and consumer welfare as our guiding principles. In all of these, we adhere strictly to the tenets of professionalism, integrity and transparency.

We continue to be the Filipino people’s Agency of Choice, an organization where creativity, innovation, professional and personal growth find full expression.

WE ARE UNITED IN PURPOSE AND ACTION.
