Livelihood Training Seminar

Once again the Office of Congressman Eufrocino (Dodong) Codilla, of the 4th District has sponsored a Livelihood Training Seminar in cooperation with the National Livelihood Development Corporation and Kabuhayan at Kalusugan Alay sa Masa Foundation for the people of Palompon, Leyte at the Palompon social Center.

It was a two day affair starting from February 6, 2010 to February 7, 2010 with the following livelihood program: Reflexology & Body Massage, Hair Cutting and Cosmetology, Meat & Fish Processing, Candle Making, Soap Making, Manicure, Pedicure & Hotspa, and Cellphone Repair.

Opening the affair was DSWD municipal head Ms. Nelanie Sanico together with Ms. Rebecca Mendoza and their ever trusted employees. All the livelihood programs have been able to attract a minimum of 30 participants for the Manicure, Pedicure and Foot Spa and a maximum of 5o participants for the Meat & Fish Processing Module respectively.

Seen at the were the Hon. Mayor Eulogio S. Tupa, Municipal Administrator Constantino Tupa, Hon. Councilmen Gilbert Manongsong, Jesus Sanchez, and Rodolfo Canson. Taking pictures for the Budyong sa Palompon was staff writer Jose Pajaron.

I for one have decided to review candle making, since I have already tried making candles about ten years ago.

I was thankful that I was part of the group of participants in candle making because I learned some things which I don't know before.

This I want to share to others who are in need of additional income to augment whatever they are earning, or to make their time worthwhile.

So many are complaining that their income is so small, but they don't do something to improve their lot.

Example of this, is the yearly livelihood training program being initiated by Congressman Eufrocino Codilla, But from the reduced number of participants this year, which is quite smaller than last years', it can be seen that many are not interested in improving their lot, because many of those who participated can be considered as not having "less in life" but still want to improve their lives.
