To spur the establishment of small, home-based soap-making entrepreneurs as means of livelihood, the BPSU Dinalupihan Office of Extension Services conducted soap-making trainings to residents of Barangays Pentor, San Simon and Sapang Balaf, in the land-locked town of Dinalupihan.
The said training was first launched in Brgy, Pentor last April 28, 2008. Another set of training was held the next day in San Simon. The third leg was held last May 3 in Sapang Balaf.
Backed-up by the Municipal Local Government of Dinalupihan, the three Sangguniang Barangays and DC Chancellor Dr. Maria Fe V. Roman, the extension program successfully trained 60 individuals in the said barangays.
Aside from the aim of spurring entrepreneurial spirit among the residents, the activity also aimed at making high-quality soaps readily available to residents of the three barangays.
The soap-making training was headed by Mrs. Glenda D. Abad along with Mrs. Judy B. Dumlao, Ms. Sunshine S. Talavera, Dr. Nely G. Espino, Dr. Ma. Fe V. Roman, Dr. Susan M. Talavera.
Resource persons were Mrs. Ofelia Mendoza (DSWD Dinalupihan) and Mr. Julius Moncupa (Mom Cares Marketing Company)
The project was pursued with the objective that a simplified, workable process for the production of soap and similar cleansers could be disseminated for commercialization and livelihood means. The project likewise aimed to encourage the participants to become small entrepreneurs by venturing into soap making business which traditionally has been controlled by large companies.
