San Vicente, Northern Samar — Through the Barangay Livelihood Empowerment and Sustainability (BLES) Program of the Provincial Economic Development and Investment Promotions Office (PEDIPO), a hands-on training on Sardines Production was successfully held in partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority – Balicuatro College of Arts and Trade (TESDA-BCAT) for the Sangputan Workers’ Association (SWA) in Brgy. Sangputan, San Vicente, Northern Samar.
The training focused on practical sardines processing
techniques such as fish cleaning and preparation, spicing, bottling, and
sterilization. Engr. Josephine Magdaraog, Food Processing NCII trainer of
TESDA-BCAT facilitated the sessions, ensuring that participants acquired proper
methods that align with food safety and quality standards.
This initiative is part of PEDIPO’s broader mission to
promote inclusive and sustainable livelihood opportunities through the BLES
Program, which aims to build the capacity of local communities through skills
development and enterprise support.
By equipping the Sangputan Workers’ Association with
value-adding skills, the training empowers them to venture into small-scale
food processing that can lead to long-term income generation and economic
self-sufficiency.
The training reflects PEDIPO’s sustained commitment to
promoting livelihood opportunities at the grassroots level by equipping local
associations with practical, income-generating skills. Through continuous
collaboration with agencies, PEDIPO reinforces its mission to empower
communities, enhance local productivity, and support the development of
