MCC Kayantabe participates in Pampanga Bamboo Bootcamp 2023

Mabalacat City College (MCC) Kayantabe attended the Pampanga Bamboo Bootcamp 2023 at Pampanga State Agricultural University on 24 October 2023. Organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), this training aimed to equip participants with knowledge and skills on bamboo handicraft and infrastructures. It also encouraged active participation and cooperation of all provincial bamboo industry development stakeholders.

This is part of the 2023 Bamboo Month Celebration with the theme, “Buong Bansa Magtanim: Kawayan Para sa Kalikasan, Kabuhayan, Kaunlaran at Kinabukasan! Kayantabe Officers Francis Joseph Masa, Marilyn Gomez, and Marivic Gacho, together with Pasky David of the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) community joined other Bamboo stakeholders, farmers, and enthusiasts all over the Pampanga province in the event.

The bootcamp focused on two Digitally-Advanced Technology Training Modules on Bamboo Handicrafts and Bamboo Building Construction and Bamboo Resilient Infrastructures.

Kayantabe’s participation in the Bamboo Bootcamp reinforces the DOST CEST Project pertaining on Bamboo Awareness of the College. This also served as a capacity building promoting livelihood opportunities to the Indigenous Peoples in MCC’s adopted community at Sitio Haduan.

By actively engaging in the Pampanga Bamboo Bootcamp, the College fosters its commitment in empowering the community and indigenous peoples (IPs) towards sustainable livelihood and industry.
