Tutuban Center, Manila’s bargain shopping destination, recently
established the Tutuban Center Home Club (TC Home Club) as part of its
community development activities.
TC Home Club seeks to empower women of today, especially the
underprivileged ones living within the Tutuban Center community and nearby
cities with little or no education, to gain the confidence of facing challenges
in life when raising a family. The club will seek these mothers and reach out
to them by providing a venue for trainings and seminars to help them develop
and discover specific skills they may have to become a possible source of
livelihood.
The 3-hour training sessions started last February 5, 2016 and will run
every Friday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. until March 11, 2016 at the Tutuban
Center Food Court located at the 3rd floor of Tutuban Center Centermall and at
Tutuban Center TMX exhibition center.
During the initial session, the mothers underwent training sessions to
learn how to become a massage therapist, barista, manicurist/pedicurist,
haircutter, or even how to make sweet treats like “pastillas.” Training was
provided by representatives from the Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority or TESDA. Attendees were also
handed out TC Home Club shirts, ID cards, and other peripherals, including
eco-bags.
Next training sessions will teach women from different backgrounds how
to become entrepreneurs, cosmetics/make-up application, even vital tips on
parenting and other important topics.
To join TC Home Club, participants must show a Barangay Clearance, ID
and duly accomplished TC Home Club registration form at the Tutuban Center
Marketing Office located near the Tutuban Center Food Court. Also, this event would not be possible
without Smart Communications, Inc., DKT Health, Inc., Torque Philippines, Robinsons
Supermarket, Department of Health – Commission on Population, TESDA, Kalye
Negosyo and HBC.
We hope more women will join our training sessions because it will
definitely help them be more self-reliant as they face life’s challenges. We
invite them to attend because they will definitely learn here. And if these
initial sessions prove successful, we can hopefully extend this program for the
whole year,” says Ms. Sylvia Tecson, Vice President for Sales and Marketing of
Tutuban Properties, Inc. (TPI).
