As part of its commitment to promoting inclusive livelihood and economic empowerment, the Provincial Government of Cavite, through the Office of the Provincial Cooperatives Development Officer (OPCDO), conducted a Meat Processing Training under the “Livelihood on the Go” program on July 15, 2025, at Brgy. Sampaloc II, City of Dasmariñas.
The activity was participated in by members of SAMAKA, 4Ps beneficiaries, and Solo Parents from the said barangay. Through the training, they gained hands-on knowledge and practical skills in meat processing, an accessible livelihood option that supports self-sufficiency and opens up opportunities for small-scale enterprise.
The program began with opening remarks from Ms. Sheryll H. Loyola, Development Management Officer IV who highlighted the importance of community-based livelihood programs in improving household income and quality of life.
The training was facilitated by Ms. Venus Romerosa, an experienced trainer who guided participants through the essential steps in meat processing – from food safety practices to preparation, preservation, and packaging techniques.
Barangay Captain Virginia S. Campano delivered the closing remarks. She thanked the provincial government and organizers for bringing such a meaningful program to their community and encouraged participants to apply their newfound knowledge to start their own ventures.
The activity was made possible under the leadership of Ms. Rizalie Pinpin-Enero, Officer-in-Charge of the OPCDO, in support of the Provincial Government’s continuous efforts to build resilient and economically empowered communities across Cavite. (R. Dones)
