On October 16, 2026, the Local Government Unit of Alimodian, in partnership with the Department of Educationโs Alternative Learning System (DepEd ALS), conducted a Candle-Making Livelihood Skills Training for ALS learners and members of the Alimodian Bangon Babaye Association, a micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME). The activity was held at the Alimodian Municipal Learning Center, 2nd Floor, Alimodian Public Market.
The training was facilitated by Maโam Gean F. Alcairo, Maโam Cherry Mae E. Begley, and Maโam Gellyn Ann S. Amadhay, with Maโam Nenejoy A. Aljo, ALS Teacher of Alimodian I, serving as the guest speaker. Participants learned the step-by-step process of candle-making, product costing, and proper packaging.
Through this training, ALS learners, including out-of-school youth and school dropouts, as well as members of the Alimodian Bangon Babaye Association, gained practical skills that can help them develop livelihood opportunities and generate additional income.
Also present was Mrs. Mary Jert S. Masculino, Principal II of Alimodian I, who expressed her support for the initiative and highlighted the importance of empowering ALS learners through practical skills development and livelihood opportunities.
