In search for livelihood opportunities and jobs, Malinao, Aklan Mayor Dominador Ilio focuses now on conducting skills training programs dubbed as “Dangal Ng Malinao” Project for his constituents to help alleviate poverty in his town and maximize the use of coconuts which are abundant in Malinao and the rest of Aklan.
This 2005 venture of Malinao, in coordination with the Technical education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Aklan, the Department of Education, Rosario Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Rosario Barangay Council and the Verde Grande Culinary School focuses on Coconut Delicacies and Candy Making.
In this venture, Malinaonons will produce coco candies combined with other fruits and root crops as ingredients.
The training is integrated with Entrepreneurship and Packaging Programs. Participants earn while training, while 10 percent of the profit will go to Rosario MPC, sponsor of the activity.
Some 29 trainees started recently. They have undergone the training on coco candies making and coco pastilles. Another coco product they expect to train on soon is coco brittle.
As the sponsor of the recent activity, the Rosario MPC was responsible for recruiting and screening participants, assisted in the training using the Community-Based training for Enterprise Development as methodology and shared in the expenses while the barangay council assisted in the preparation of kitchen tools and equipment needed and provided the venue.
The local government of Malinao prepared the project proposal and provided the budget counterpart for the implementation of the Dangal Ng Malinao Program on Coconut Candy Processing.
TESDA-Aklan, under Provincial Director Lorena Yunque provided the trainer and the honoraria, training supplies, materials, tools and equipment.
The Department of Education assisted in the recruitment and selection of trainees while the Verde Grande Culinary School provided the technology transfer on Coconut Delicacies and Candy Making and credit units to Food Technology Program of Verde Grande Culinary School after passing the institutional assessment.
Mayor Ilio aspires to make Malinao the “food basket” of Aklan. It is seen that the recent training is just one step Malinaonons have taken to achieve this aspiration. Last year, the municipality conducted skills trainings on the production of high vegetables, lakatan bananas, and upgrading of native chickens. On top of these, Mayor Ilio vowed his constituents would not stop making abaca slippers, the product identified by One Town, One Product (OTOP) Priority program, seen to promote entrepreneurship and create more jobs in the municipality.
