Rain or shine, it’s business as usual for the vendors outside the Provincial Capitol of Palawan patiently waiting in their uniform rolling stores given to them by the Provincial Government. These vendors are just a few of the hundreds of micro-entrepreneurs in Puerto Princesa City alone selling buckets full of barbeque, balot, peanuts and chicken parts.
The giving out of rolling stores or booths is one of the projects of the Palawan local government in support of the growing micro-business in the area. The Capitol Park Square has already become an entertainment center with different social, cultural, musical, and dance activities being held almost every evening.

There are lots of hard-earned ways on how to put up a business. Some delve into franchising, while others shell out a huge amount of money to rent their own place and buy all things needed for the business. Not to mention the marketing style.
