The Barangay San Jose Sangguniang Kabataan Council, under the leadership of SK Chairman Monte Tolentino, teamed up with the City Cooperative and Livelihood Office of Antipolo City, to teach the youth of Sitio Old Boso-boso, San Jose how to make bayong as part of a livelihood program.

Among those present during the livelihood program were San Jose SK Council’s Rey Rivera, SK Kagawads Loriel Salazar, Paolene Salvador, Mikko Suarez, SK Secretary Jackzon Remondavia and Janvier Gonzales and Councilors Lonnie Leyva and Nixon Aranas.

Shane Parreno, Livelihood Section Head of the City Cooperative and Livelihood Office of Antipolo City taught participants how to make bayong.

She taught participants the importance of applying themselves to make a quality product as well as to continue practicing making bayong.

“Iyong gagawin ninyo, inyo po iyan. Kaya dapat po gandahan na rin natin. Kailangan po tuloy tuloy natin. Kasi po ang skills nagiging useless kung hindi natin tinutuloy tuloy na practice. Ang mandato po ng aming opisina ay magbigay ng libreng training, seminar, pagsasanay pang kooperatiba at pangkabuhayan,” said Parreno. 

Both SK Kagawad Salvador and Salazar thanked Mayor Andeng Ynares and San Jose Punong Barangay Boy Borja for their continued support of SK projects. Salazar also credited SK Chairman Tolentino for the numerous projects for the benefit of the youth of Barangay San Jose.

“Lalo na po kami nagpapasalamat sa aming SK Chairman. Lagi niya naiisip kapakanan ng mga nasa nasasakupan niya. Kahit hindi natin siya madalas nakikita pero yun pong mga naiisip niya proyekto, iyon po ang mga ginagampanan namin (para sa inyo),” said Salazar.
