The growing popularity of home-based industry and livelihood and with the apparent need of Villa Lina Subdivision residents to gain technical knowledge and skills, the Villa Lina Homeowners Association—Balanga City headed by Dra. Leonor Orellana requested to the university any technical skills project that would benefit their constituents.
In response to this call, Dean Edmundo Tungol of the College of Industrial Technology and Education endorsed the request to the Office of Extension Services (OES). Mrs. Bernadeth Gabor then designed a training program for breadmaking and baking and introduction to catering. The university administration approved the project as an extension activity last May 9, 2008, to be headed by Mrs. Gabor.
The said program primarily aimed for the participants to acquire broader knowledge and skills in actual preparation of breads and cakes and start a small business that may help them in heir daily needs. Aside from lectures on tools, equipmet, ingredients and safety practices, demonstrations on doughnut, siopao, empanada, cake with icing, and table skirting were also conducted. To complete the activity, lecture on basic catering services was also included.
Forty-four individuals benefitted in the said project which was held from May 12-16 and May 19-20 at the Villa Lina Catholic Chapel.
