Dueg residents trained in coffee drink preparation
SAN CLEMENTE, TARLAC – In support of the municipality’s tourism program, the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) and the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO) partnered with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) – Tarlac Provincial Office, through the Negosyo Center San Clemente, to facilitate a seminar on starting a business with barista training for 16 Dueg residents.
Sitio Dueg is located in the mountainous area of San Clemente which boasts of its serenity and mesmerizing nature views.
“With the growing number of tourists visiting the area, this is a chance for the locals to consider entrepreneurship as an alternative source of income,” OIC Provincial Director Florencia Balilo said.
For the entrepreneurship seminar, Business Counselor Anthony Corpuz discussed the rewards and risks of entrepreneurship, business opportunities, and the requirements and permits needed to start a business.
On the other hand, the resource speaker, Ms. Antonette Agustin, a café owner taught how to operate an espresso machine and the basics of making coffee drinks such as Espresso, Americano, and Latte to name a few.
For Glory Geronimo, one of the participants, this is another learning opportunity that she could apply for a living.
“I have learned something new that I could use in the future. I thank DTI, PESO, and MSWDO for providing us with new knowledge,” she said.
The Local Government Unit of San Clemente plans to put up a café in Dueg for possible lease or employment.
