Philippine Small  and Medium Business  Development Foundation (Philsmed) president Mina Gabor said yesterday  that government should channel more of its business to SMEs.


"This the government can do by amending the Magna Carta for SMEs wherein  there  will be a provision allocating at least 35 percent of all government procurement to SMEs," Gabor said.


She said SMEs actually  comprise 99.9 percent of all businesses in the Philippines.
