You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Department of Trade and Industry''' (((lang-fil|Kagawaran ng Kalakalan at Industriya|)), abbreviated as '''DTI''') is the [[Executive departments of the Philippines|executive department]] of the [[Philippine government]] responsible for the advancement, promotion, governance, regulation, management and growth of industry and trade.

Department Order No. 19-18, s. 2019, laid out the organizational structure of the department into the following functional groups: Competitiveness and Innovation Group (CIG); Consumer Protection Group (CPG); Industry Development and Trade Policy Group (IDTPG); Management Services Group (MSG); Regional Operations Group (ROG); and the Trade Promotions Group (TPG).

Its [[hierarchical organization]] include 27 foreign trade service posts, 17 regional offices (including Negros Island Region), 87 provincial/city/area offices, 12 bureaus, 4 attached agencies, 7 attached corporations, and 8 services offices.

The department is headed by a Secretary (equivalent to Minister) and assisted by Undersecretaries (equivalent to Deputy Minister) which take charge of certain sub-department each, and Assistant Secretaries which serve as specialized assistants of the Secretary.

==History==

=== Department of Commerce and Police===
On September 6, 1901, the [[Philippine Commission]] established the Department of Commerce (and Police) of the [[Insular Government]].  [[William Cameron Forbes]] future [[Governor-General of the Philippines]] served as its commissioner from 1904 through 1908.

===Department of Commerce and Industry (DCI)===
After [[World War II]], President [[Manuel Roxas]] issued ''Executive Order (EO) No. 94'' on October 4, 1947, creating the Department of Commerce and Industry (DCI).<ref>((cite web |title=Executive Order No. 94, s. 1947 |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/10/04/executive-order-no-94-s-1947/ |website=Official Gazette of the  Republic of the Philippines |access-date=25 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190514060238/https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1947/10/04/executive-order-no-94-s-1947/ |archive-date=14 May 2019 |date=4 October 1947))</ref> Cornelio Balmaceda, a much sought-after [[professor]] of [[economics]] and director of the Bureau of Commerce (BOC), was appointed acting secretary of the newly created Department of Commerce and Industry.

Prior to ''EO 94'', the Bureau of Commerce was tasked to develop and promote the country's trade and industry, under the overall supervision of the Department of Agriculture and Commerce, as stipulated by ''Act 4007'' by the Philippine Legislature, enacted on December 5, 1932.

By 1972, the DCI had grown into a big organization with 10 regular bureaus and 22 agencies under its direct supervision. The DCI was mandated to promote, develop, expand, regulate and control of foreign and domestic trade and industry, as well as tourism.

To have closer supervision and to ensure more effective delivery of services, President [[Ferdinand E. Marcos]] issued ''Presidential Decree (PD) 189'' on May 11, 1973, creating the Department of Tourism to handle all tourism-related matters.<ref>((cite web |title=Presidential Decree No. 189, s. 1973 |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1973/05/11/presidential-decree-no-189-s-1973/ |website=Official Gazette of the  Republic of the Philippines |access-date=25 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170903194721/https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1973/05/11/presidential-decree-no-189-s-1973/ |archive-date=3 September 2017 |date=11 May 1973))</ref> A year later on June 21, 1974, Marcos issued ''PD 488'' creating the Department of Industry whose principal function was to promote and enhance the growth of the country's existing and thriving industries.<ref>((cite web |title=Presidential Decree No. 488, s. 1974 |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1974/06/21/presidential-decree-no-488-s-1974/ |website=Official Gazette of the  Republic of the Philippines |access-date=25 August 2020 |date=21 June 1974))</ref>

On June 2, 1975, the Department of Trade was created under ''PD 721'' to pursue efforts of the government toward strengthening the country's socio-economic development, particularly in the area of commercial activities.<ref>((cite web |title=Presidential Decree No. 721, s. 1975 |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1975/06/02/presidential-decree-no-721-s-1975/ |website=Official Gazette of the  Republic of the Philippines |access-date=25 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200825170925/https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1975/06/02/presidential-decree-no-721-s-1975/ |archive-date=25 August 2020 |date=2 June 1975))</ref> A key strategy of the new department was vigorous export promotion to generate much needed foreign exchange. A Bureau of Foreign Trade was also particularly established to push for domestic trade and marketing programs.

In the early 1980s, this goal of national economic development required the need to hew industrial promotion efforts with the expansion of Philippine trade overseas. This resulted in the creation of the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MOTI) on July 27, 1981, which took over the functions of the subsequently abolished Departments of Trade and of Industry.

Drastic changes followed after the [[1986 EDSA Revolution]]. President [[Corazon Aquino]] signed ''Executive Order No. 133'' on February 27, 1987, effectively reorganizing the Ministry of Trade and Industry and renaming it the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).<ref>((cite web |title=Executive Order No. 133, s. 1987 |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1987/02/27/executive-order-no-133-s-1987/ |website=Official Gazette of the  Republic of the Philippines |access-date=25 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200825170227/https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1987/02/27/executive-order-no-133-s-1987/ |archive-date=25 August 2020 |date=27 February 1987))</ref> This was further strengthened by the issuance of ''Executive Order 292'' (Administrative Code of 1987).<ref>((cite web |title=Executive Order No. 292, s. 1987 |url=https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1987/07/25/executive-order-no-292-s-1987/ |website=Official Gazette of the  Republic of the Philippines |access-date=25 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190805140451/https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1987/07/25/executive-order-no-292-s-1987/ |archive-date=5 August 2019 |date=25 July 1987))</ref> Other latter legislations have also amended its functions and structures.

* Undersecretary for Competitiveness and Innovation Group
* Undersecretary for Consumer Protection Group
