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.
