In a resounding commitment to fostering local empowerment and sustainable development, Cagdianao Mining Corporation (CMC) continues to champion initiatives that uplift and equip members of the community with valuable skills.

Through its Social Development and Management Program (SDMP), CMC recently spearheaded a transformative Hands-on Training on Fish Processing and Value-Added Products, held on January 25-26, aimed at enhancing the capabilities of the Bal-iwan Fish Processor Association.

The two-day training session, facilitated by esteemed personnel from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Region 13, alongside Frecel Salas from the Municipal Agriculture Office of Cagdianao, served as a platform for knowledge exchange and practical skill-building.

Participants were immersed in hands-on learning experiences, guided by experts in the field, including Paterno B. Silla Jr., Roberto Son Durcon, and John Arman P. Tenio.

With a focus on diversifying product offerings and adding value to local produce, the training covered a comprehensive array of fish processing techniques, culminating in the creation of an impressive range of value-added products.

From innovative delights like Fish Polvoron and Fish Burgers to traditional favorites such as Fish Embutido and Fish Lumpia, participants were empowered to explore the vast potential of fish as a versatile ingredient.

The tangible outcomes of the training underscored not only the participants' newfound skills but also the tangible opportunities for economic empowerment within the community.

Through initiatives like this, CMC not only fosters skill development but also cultivates an ecosystem of entrepreneurship and self-reliance, laying the foundation for sustainable livelihoods and economic resilience.

As CMC continues to spearhead initiatives that prioritize community welfare and empowerment, it reinforces its unwavering commitment to being a catalyst for positive change.

By nurturing local talent and fostering skill development, CMC paves the way for a future where communities thrive, propelled by a spirit of innovation, resilience, and collective empowerment.

Together, CMC and the local community are forging a path toward sustainable development, one skill-building workshop at a time.
