City Mayor John Geesnell “BABA” Yap drumbeats this year’s theme of making change for women as various capacity-building activities were lined up to strengthen women’s entrepreneurial streak
“We know and value a woman’s strength. In fact, this year’s celebration leveraged on that core. We provided relevant trainings to enhance the enterprising abilities of the women. All of us have been a silent witness to the resilience of our women in managing the household, nurturing their children, and loving their husbands. Thus, this special day, we celebrate with women all around the world,” Mayor Yap said.
USAID-CHANGE Project Coordinator Dr. Rosalinda Paredes shared insights along with City Councilor Dulce Glovasa on the kick-off activity. The second part of the celebration mostly focused on training with John Liquit who expounded on the entrepreneurial mind setting. The lecture was followed by the various break-out sessions in Tocino Meat Processing, Pan-Fried Bun Making, and Shakoy and Donut Making.
The final product of the participants was showcased in a Food Product Display. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will provide an orientation for women on March 25. The culmination activity will be capped off by a Gender and Development Seminar for City Government employees on March 30. (Jeanette Busano)
