May 2,
2015, the new production building, Training Center 2, and the old
production building, were blessed by Fr. Edsel Demillo, SVD, in the morning of
May 2. Our guests were Engr. Romy and
Mrs. Remy Manuel. Engr. Manuel offered to provide the coins which he himself
threw for the staff to grab after the blessing! This new building is connected to Training
Center 1 production building. The basement is the Control
and Sanitation Roomwhere lockers are provided for the workers’ personal
things such as cellphones, bags and other items not allowed inside production;
it is the place where they change into
their work attire and work shoes and step on the foot bath before entering production. The first floor is the
receiving area for raw materials for ube jam processing, stocking area
for raw ube, the area for washing ube, peeling ube and where the pressure
cooker and spice room are located. The second
floor is the storage area for the Jams and
Jellies Section products and offices for Production Services staff, second
floor staff and the Production Supervisor. It also houses the clinic, and the work area for retorting and
labeling. The third floor is the
supplies and materials stockroom and brittle section. The fourth floor of
the new building is the conference hall. It is furnished
with new tables and hard wood chairs. The landing at the entrance and veranda outside the hall has been
landscaped Doris Munar, our landscaper, with lovely ornamental and flowering
plants – cymbidium, orchids, petunias. It has hanging gardens and a small pond. The veranda gives a breathtaking
view of one side of Baguio City.
The first group to use the fourth floor conference
hall are the Local Coordinators who met from May 6 to 10, 2015.
