For a business one can do right in the home, the company will offer courses on jam and jellies, pastries and meat processing

All of PAGCOR’s 13 branches will conduct seminars twice a month, with a minimum of 35-40 participants in one session. Acting Senior MWR Officer Felipe Riano said the livelihood program will start in PAGCOR-Davao on October 13 with meat processing unanimously chosen by the employees to be their first course.
