Acupuncture training offered to Guagua folks
By Ian Ocampo Flora
GUAGUA -- The Parish Ministry Service, the social arm of the Parish of Saint James in Betis here, is conducting Acupuncture and Reflexology training for local and nearby parishioners who would like an easy way to earn money.
According to Fe Pineda, officer of the parish ministry service, the program aims to develop self reliance among trainees and provide them with a source of income.
The training was also done in nearby parishes in Sto. Tomas, Sta. Rita, and Samuan. The training is recognized by the Technical Skills and Development Authority (Tesda) and training graduates are given certification after the completion of the said training.
“The venue for the training is at Bale Ugnayan Betis and would start on August 20 to 24. We are not just inviting our own parishioners here in the Parish of Saint James but as well as those within the Vicariate of Saint Joseph,” Pineda said.
The training fee is pegged at P200 per trainee which is inclusive of all the training materials and hand-outs to be used by the participant. Pineda said the program is in coordination with the Municipal Government of Guagua and the Guagua Soroptimists.
“We are teaching them a way to earn a living but we are also reminding them that the skills they have learned should also be provided to those who cannot pay for their services. We are teaching them in the spirit of sharing and we also want them to do the same for others in need,” Pineda ended..
