About 25 participants, all women-members of RIC – Magpet residing in different villages were trained on the techniques and tips on meat process-

Mayor Gonzaga thanked the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPAG) for sending Marivic Supena, Food Laboratory In-Charge of OPAG and in charge of the lectures for the 2-day training sessions.
“This is an opportunity for RIC – Magpet members to gain knowledge on meat processing which they can apply back home and start with a small livelihood, much thanks to the Provincial Government of Cotabato for engaging our constituents with a helpful training,” Mayor Gonzaga said. For her part, Supena said the training on meat processing is simple and practical and can always be applied by the participants. “Here in the training, the participants will learn the basic things related to
meat processing such as meat cutting, chopping and mixing. Also on how to use spices and nonmeat additives correctly in order to come up with a well-processed meat,” Supena said in the interview of the “Aksiyon Serbisyong Totoo” radio program of the Provincial Government of North Cotabato Processing some alltime meat favorites such as “embotido,” “tocino,” “ham,” “sio-mai” and “tapa” are featured in the training.

training said the club is excited enough to gain additional skills from the activity. She believes that the 2-day training will enable the members of RICMagpet to start with small business ventures and will help them to earn an extra income for the family.

I would like to thank Gov. Taliño-Mendoza, a truly service and result-oriented leader for giving us the chance to learn and become more productive as individuals,” Anit added.
