To address hunger and malnutrition among school children from typhoon devastated areas in the 5^th District and in Municipalities of Capiz, Western Visayas College of Science and Technology together with the Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF) embarked on a Special Feeding Program. The Special School Feeding Program (SSFP), is inspired by the Foundation’s Busog Lusog Talino (BLT) Feeding Program but with some modifications to cater to the scope and magnitude of the disaster’s impact.

The program which also aims to encourage children to go back to school, is serving lunch 3 times a week- Monday, Wednesday and Friday for a period of 30 days starting January 20 to March 28, 2014 to pupils from all grade levels.

WVCST is handling 7 municipalities in the Province of Iloilo and Capiz with a total of 78 public elementary schools and 27,005 beneficiaries.

The JGF is providing the feeding budget and in-kind support to the target schools like rice, feeding and cooking utensils. Meanwhile, the College will provide the monitoring support.

With regard to this, orientations were conducted to partners LGUs, DepEd Supervisors, School Principals, teacher coordinators, Baranggay and PTA Officials to assure the effective and efficient implementation of the program. Engr. Cora Corbal, Director of the Extension Services Division of WVCST and her staff, spearheaded the said orientations in Lemery, San Rafael, San Dionisio, Estancia, Concepcion, Ajuy and Dumarao, Capiz.

The training program is a DOST-GIA (Grants In Aid) project designed for CNC Operators for a sustainable growth and competitiveness of the metal and engineering sector. It also aims to answer the “brain drain” problem that the country is undergoing since a lot of machine operators on metals industries have been going abroad. It has been noted that CNC machine operators are in demand not just abroad but also in the country. With the help of MIAP – TESDA, it targets 800 trainees that will be trained in different batches until the end of 2014.

                DOST has identified regions where trainings can be conducted and Western Visayas College of Science and Technology was chosen to provide some of the facilities like conventional machines and it will augment with other Colleges who do not have these facilities.

                The signing of the MOA was headed by Dr. Luis M. Sorolla, WVCST President, Dr. Dominico Sergie Valenciana, Dean, College of Industrial Techology, Dr. Danilo N. Pilar, MIRDC CNC Training Project Leader, Ms. Ines L. Palermo, Metal Industries Association of the Philippines National Executive Vice President and Engr.Nelson Lopez, MIAP, Vice President for the Visayas.
