The third batch for the Balik Pinay, Balik Hanapbuhay Project of the National Reintegration
Center for OFWs (NRCO) was implemented by Overseas Workers Welfare
Administration Regional Welfare Office I (OWWA-RWO 1) by conducting a
4-day Skills Training on Cosmetology from January 11-14, 2012 at the Pangasinan
Training and Development Center located at the Capitol Compound, Lingayen,
Pangasinan.
A total of 85
participants attended and completed the activity of whom 79 were females and 6
were males. Most women participants were OFW returnees who were displaced and
some were victims of maltreatment and harassment. In the implementation of
Skills Training on Cosmetology, four skills were acquired and enhanced, namely:
Haircutting, Hair Perming, Foot Spa, and Make-up.
The Ricky Reyes
Group headed by Training Director Sir Ivory C. Malagueña provided the lectures,
hands-on demo, and kits for the said 4-day skills training. Tips on engaging
into Cosmetology as a business were also shared by Sir Ivo. His personal and
professional experiences gave inspiration to the participants to always stay
focus on what they love most.
Starter
kits were distributed to each participant boosting her interest and willingness
to enhance the skills acquired and to increase the knowledge gained from the
training.
This
undertaking was fully supported by the Provincial Government of Pangasinan
through the leadership of Hon. Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr. who provided a free
venue for the skills training and even gave free accommodation at the Narciso
Ramos Sports and Civic Center Dormitory for the participants who came from far
flung areas of Pangasinan.

Ferrer, Provincial PESO Manager of Pangasinan, also showed his unwavering
support to this activity together with the OFW Migrants Desk Officer Mr.
Elizardo Laureta.

Office 1 represented by Senior Labor and Employment Officer Violeta

always stay focused and strong amidst life’s adversities to which eventually
increased the participants’ optimism and confidence. -- END --
