In a delightful fusion of education and community service, New Lucena Polytechnic College (NLPC), under the leadership of Mr. Ricco Seville, teamed up with SEA, Inc., represented by Municipal Senior Community Facilitator Rosanna Constantino and Community Facilitator Mary Angelic Muzones, for a truly enriching experience. The dynamic collaboration didn’t stop there—SEA, Inc.’s head writer, Cheryl Luis, and national media practitioner Leony Garcia, who happened to be observing and participating in the training, added extra flair to the event.

Participants from Brgy. Cabugao and Janipaan Oeste arrived eager to learn and left with a treasure trove of new skills, thanks to the expertise of their instructor, Ms. Esperanza Corazon Gastala. The focus of the day was on mastering the art of Hot and Cold Desserts, a skill set that promises to sweeten the lives of many in more ways than one.

Leony Garcia, impressed by what she witnessed, remarked, “I commend SEA, Inc.’s initiatives, as well as the support from New Lucena LGU and New Lucena Polytechnic College for such valuable trainings and programs. This may seem like a simple training, but it can significantly enhance participants’ skills and even spark ideas for starting their businesses based on what they’ve learned.”

The participants, grateful for the opportunity, returned home not only with newfound culinary expertise but also with the inspiration and confidence to potentially turn these skills into entrepreneurial ventures. This partnership has proven that when education meets community support, even the simplest of training can lead to the sweetest successes.
