Eighty-six completers from Barangays 39, 68, 79, 98, and others received their Certificate of Completion today at the City Engineer’s Office Gymnasium after their 15-day Food Processing training. In his message, Mayor Alfred Romualdez expressed his continued support in the city’s programs to elevate the lives of all Taclobanons.

Aside from acquiring new skills, completers also received starter kits and financial assistance as their business’s capital. CLEP will continue to monitor their progress, especially during the start of their business. Boosting the group’s morale was Pearl Lachieska Mataro -who shared her success after finishing the same program. Pearl happily imparted the good news that she now earns more than a thousand pesos per day. Her services have been sold out for the Christmas Season as well.

In a short dialogue with CLEP Coordinator Ruena Mate, she shared that she pushed the resumption of the training program earlier this year to bridge the gap in employment deficiency. She invites interested individuals to visit their office for training schedules and other information.
