CLAVERIA, Misamis Oriental – The Indigenous people (IP) community in Brgy. Minalwang, Claveria, Misamis Oriental now have the means to start their own small-scale business for extra income following the livelihood training and turn-over of tool kits.
Philippine Army’s 58th Infantry Battalion (58IB) in partnership with Claveria local government unit, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and Balay Mindanaw turned over the tool kits for the graduating partipants from Minalwang during the closing ceremony of the baking training at the barangay.
The livelihood training, conducted by Balay Mindanaw to 25 IP and residents of the barangay, was part of the community support program of the government.
Among the participants of the training were wives of the Citizen Armed Force Geography Unit (CAFGUs) stationed at the barangay.
Apart from the tool kits, the participants were also given allowance for the duration of the training and their National Certificate II.
According to TESDA, the national certificate is issued when a candidate has demonstrated competence in all units of competency.
The skills they acquired through the livelihood training will open several job opportunities that will help uplift their economic living.
The training program was conducted in coordination with TESDA and Claveria to deliver the basic services to the people in the far-flung barangay.
It was facilitated by Balay Mindanaw at the nearest TESDA-accredited institution.
Through this livelihood training Minalwang is seen to become a resilient community and enable them to withstand the influence of NPA terrorists.
“I am happy that the IP community of Minalwang seeks to develop their lives by taking this livelihood training. They (IP) want to show that NPA were just full of empty promises and lies to organize their community but it is our own government that will help the community and bring them peace and development which they have long sought,” said Ltc. Anthony O. Derilo, 58thIB Commanding Officer.
