Training for emergency livelihood

In support to the Comprehensive Livelihood Emergency Employment Program (CLEEP) of the government, the DOST Biliran joined hands with the DTI in conducting training activities for the youth and women's group in the municipality of Naval, Biliran Province

A training on bocorillo production was conducted for the women beneficiaries while training on silk screen printing was designed for the youth group. Bocorillo is a local delicacy made from young coconuts mixed with caramelized sugar with milk and formed into small circular patties. The product is a popular dessert.

Meanwhile, silk screen printing using photographic film was specially taught to youngsters. The skill is specifically applicable in t-shirt printing, ribbon production, and other specialized printing for commercial purposes.

A total of 51 trainees benefitted from the 1-day simultaneous activity that was conducted on October 29, 2009 at the Naval Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office facility. The LGU of Naval was co-implementing the event through the MSWDO.
