Ignacio, Grand Master Chef Kulinarya Pangasinense, Dr. Mondey May M. Fernandez, a Food and Beverage Service Trainer, and Dr. Rricky Tim S. Sison, an Events Management Trainer.
Mr. Ignacio highlighted and shared techniques on preparing world-famous cuisines incorporating the use of local ingredients available within the local market as well as promoting locally grown foods benefits for the consumers, the growers and the community.
Dr. Sison shared skills and knowledge on how to do basic table skirting and its impact to the event or activities and gave attention on the output-based evaluation and performance through a return demo of the participants ensuring they could have a deeper understanding on its purpose and benefits.
Dr. Fernandez facilitated a training on catering themes, styles and tips by highlighting the visual aspects involved in a catering service bringing these features to life and making sure that the catering service provider’s work aligns with their future clients’ desires as well.
