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.

7 FITS Centers launched in Bataan
With the university’s commitment in providing technology to the farmers of Bataan, seven Farmers and Information Technology Service Center (FITS) were launched in the towns of Orani, Hermosa, Limay, Dinalupihan, Bagac and one in the City of Balanga. A provincial FITS Center was also established in the capital city. Two more centers will soon be opened in Samal and Abucay.
The first center was launched in Orani last January 16. The next two in Limay and Hermosa January 22 and the recent additions in Bagac and Dinalupihan March 13.
In towns of Abucay and Samal, the team led by Dr. Hermogenes Paguia already presented the project concept to Sangguniang Bayan of the said towns.
FITS Centers aim to facilitate provision of information and technology services in agriculture, forestry, fishery and natural resources in forms and approaches appropriate to clients and to establish mechanism that enables dynamic feedback to match the needs of the clients and the services provided.
It is envisioned that advancements in agriculture, which are usually disseminated from experts to farmers, will be shared both by experts and farmers.
Specifically, the center will provide technology information in prints, video tapes, exhibits, and other formats, production of IEC (Information, Education and Communications) materials, access to the internet, sale of reference and information materials as well as technology training, technology clinic, linking clients to experts and financial institutions, technical assistance and consultancy, support to enterprise development, and linking with sources of planting materials, animals stocks, and agricultural inputs.
The FITS Center is one among the four component modalities of the Techno Gabay Program (TGP) spearheaded by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural resources Research and Development Council (PCCARD) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
