Trainees from Panay, Masbate, and Isabela learned the basics of blacksmithing and practiced making tools in an eight-day training in Sagada.
Along with the representatives of different people's organizations in Masbate, Iloilo, and Isabela, TABI's, OFFERS-Panay's, and CDPC's staff members joined the training.
A blacksmith from MRDC and another from a people's organization in Nibat facilitated the workshops, with assistance from PNFSP volunteer Roger Camps.
At training's end, the participants had created a total of 85 tools including tongs, chisels, punchers, bolos, a plow, and other small agricultural implements.
