“Paghuron ta: ano daw an magiging epekto kan pagka-Highly Urbanized City kan Naga sa mga taga-Naga?”

A question worth asking. A conversation worth having.

PAGHURON: AN ADVOCACY PUBLIC DEBATE SERIES
What does it mean for Naga City to become a Highly Urbanized City (HUC)? Would this designation create greater opportunities for Naguenos—or present new challenges for the city and its people?

These questions take center stage in PAGHURON: The Advocacy Public Debate Series, bringing together two of Naga’s leading academic institutions for a substantive exchange of perspectives on one of the city’s most important and timely issues.

🌾 CONNECTING LOCAL FARMERS TO BIGGER MARKETS | MNCCI BUSINESS MATCHING AT ASPIRE 2026

August 9, 2026

MNCCI conducted a Business Matching activity during ASPIRE 2026, connecting local farmers and producers with institutional buyers from hotels, restaurants, and other businesses in Naga City.

Through the MNCCI General Business Registry, we were able to identify hotels and restaurants with potential demand for locally produced fruits, vegetables, seafood, and other agricultural products, creating opportunities for direct market linkages between producers and institutional buyers.

This initiative is part of MNCCI's continuing effort to strengthen the local business ecosystem, open new markets for our farmers and producers, and encourage businesses to source locally.

From farm to business, we are building stronger connections and creating more opportunities for local enterprise.
