Thirty-seven Filipinos celebrated their graduation from the Basic Dressmaking Skills Training Program held at the Arman Hotel in Juffair.

The program was formally set in motion with welcoming remarks from Pinay Ikaw Na (PIN) president Dinah Sta. Ana, who warmly recognized the graduates, guests, and partners.

In her message, she underscored the value of perseverance and community support in achieving success, setting an inspiring tone for the occasion.

The seven-week initiative was designed to provide Filipinos with practical skills that facilitate entrepreneurship and generate income from home.

Final project

Guided by head trainer Epifania Fuyoc and the assistant teachers, the trainees successfully completed their final project by designing gowns inspired by Maria Clara, the traditional Filipino attire that represents grace and cultural heritage, named after the famous character from Dr. Jose Rizal’s novel Noli Me Tangere.

All the graduates willingly received their Certificate of Completion, while teachers received a Certificate of Appreciation for their valuable guidance and contribution in the training process. Graduates were organized into groups, each assigned a distinct color theme, which contributed vibrancy and a personal touch to the graduation celebration.

Each group presented their dance performances, infusing the program with energy, liveliness, and entertainment. Spanning from traditional routines to contemporary pieces, the presentations highlighted the creativity and talent of the participants.

Pinay Ikaw Na (PIN), the women’s organization collaborated for the program, takes pride in being the sole organization to have facilitated six batches of this training.
